Client engagement
On-chain security operations for a Tier-1 global bank
Client Focus operates the public blockchain security operations function for a Tier-1 global bank, across Layer 1 and Layer 2 networks, under banking service levels, 24/7/365.
Solution
C'ROC security operations center
Continuous security operations across nine public networks. Automated detection raises events; Watch Officers validate them; notification follows a published clock.
Perspective
Alerts are not controls
The measure that matters is the interval between detection and an acknowledged notification to a named person.
Trust and compliance
ISO 27001 certified
A certified information security management system covering the engineering and operations centers, with audit evidence available on request.
What we do
Build, run and secure, under one accountable model
Engineering, network operations and security operations are delivered by one firm, so the team that builds a system is connected to the team that runs it and the team that defends it.
Build
Engineering that anticipates operation.
Networks, nodes, smart contracts, tokenization and banking integration, designed with the controls examiners expect and the runbooks operators need.
Run
Network operations held to the targets set out in the client's service description.
Node, validator, RPC and integration health monitored continuously under ITIL-based incident, problem and change management.
Secure
Security operations designed for irreversible transactions.
C'ROC combines automated detection with analyst validation, so every notification carries a severity, a timeline and a named owner.
The three disciplines
Three disciplines. One operating model.
The Client Focus mark shows three overlapping disciplines. Where they overlap, the firm operates a combined security operations center and network operations center.
Each pair of disciplines produces a capability. Where all three meet, Client Focus runs one combined security and network operations center.
- BlockchainSystems engineered to be operated, not demonstrated.Network design, production chains, nodes, validators, contracts and banking integration, across public blockchains and permissioned networks.Explore blockchain
- CybersecurityControls proven by evidence, not assertion.Key and custody controls, smart contract security, node hardening and integration review, with 24/7 detection, incident response and the evidence supervisors ask for.Explore cybersecurity
- Artificial intelligenceMachine speed for analysis, people for decisions.Anomaly detection, alert triage, severity scoring and predictive operations, plus automation delivered into client systems. A named person makes every consequential decision.Explore artificial intelligence
Chains never close. Neither do we.
Client Focus staffs a continuous watch across four overlapping shift blocks, with named owners at every escalation level. Automated detection reaches an analyst first, and notification follows a published clock rather than an availability assumption.
