Background

Bredley Holding is an international group of fintech companies based in Switzerland, operating across Poland, Ukraine, Romania, and Moldova. With 25 years of experience in asset management and ongoing global growth, the company needed a more mature and scalable approach to cybersecurity.

As operations expanded across multiple jurisdictions, real-time visibility, structured incident response, and compliance readiness became core business priorities. Bredley Holding turned to Q-Sec to build a continuous, standards-based security operations model that could scale with its growth.

The Challenge

Bredley Holding’s security team faced several key gaps:

  • No continuous monitoring: Threat detection relied on periodic reviews, not 24/7 oversight.
  • Reactive incident response: Incident handling was manual and inconsistent across markets.
  • Compliance exposure: The company needed readiness for DORA and alignment with other financial regulations.
  • Operational maturity: Security operations lacked structured ITIL-based processes.
  • Scalability: A growing digital footprint required SOC capabilities that could expand without adding complexity.

The Solution

Q-Sec deployed a SOC-as-a-Service (SOCaaS) model designed around Bredley Holding’s operational and regulatory requirements — combining continuous monitoring, structured response, and scalable infrastructure.

1. 24/7 SOC Operations

Using Q-Sec’s established Security Operations Centre, the holding gained round-the-clock monitoring, detection, and incident response. Advanced analytics and correlation tools enabled real-time identification and containment of threats.

2. Incident Management Framework

Q-Sec implemented an ITIL-based incident management process, covering detection, analysis, containment, and recovery — ensuring consistency and accountability across all subsidiaries.

3. Compliance Roadmap

A tailored DORA readiness program aligned internal controls and documentation with financial-sector standards. Regular risk assessments and control testing now maintain compliance assurance.

4. ITIL Integration and Governance

Security operations were aligned with ITIL best practices, bringing structure to reporting, escalation, and continual improvement. Security metrics are now integrated into executive decision-making.

5. Scalable SOC Infrastructure

Q-Sec built a modular SOC platform to expand with new markets and services — allowing security coverage to scale without adding tool sprawl or cost inefficiency.

The Results

  • Continuous protection: 24/7 SOC coverage now detects and responds to threats in real time.
  • Structured response: ITIL-based incident management ensures consistent, fast remediation.
  • Regulatory readiness: Ongoing compliance with DORA and other standards across jurisdictions.
  • Operational maturity: Security is now fully integrated into business governance and reporting.
  • Scalable SOC model: Infrastructure grows seamlessly as the holding expands into new markets
