European Bank Achieves Proactive Data Security & Compliance with ABAC

The Challenge

Decentralized Authorization & Regulatory Pressures

The bank operated under strict data protection regulations requiring all access to personal data to be purpose-driven, fully auditable, and in some cases controlled directly by customers. However, authorization was historically managed within individual applications, with policies defined and maintained by separate system owners across multiple local banks. This created a highly decentralized model with limited visibility, inconsistent enforcement, and no enterprise-wide control over who could access sensitive data at any given time.
