Security teams in financial services and insurance (FSI) companies have their work cut out for them. These organizations safeguard some of the most important data in the world—making them prime targets for attackers and among the most heavily regulated industries to operate in. Breach costs in finance remain among the highest of any sector, averaging $6.08M per incident in 2024.
At the same time, many teams juggle dozens of disconnected systems and legacy platforms. The result: it’s harder than ever to keep up with evolving threats, compliance requirements, and business demands.
The good news: forward-thinking FSIs are working smarter. With Tines, the intelligent workflow platform, security teams orchestrate their most important workflows across people, processes, and technology. This strengthens security and compliance while giving teams time back to focus on staying ahead of attackers and driving innovation.
Below are workflows FSI security teams automate to address the industry’s unique challenges. Each can be tailored to your environment, technology partners, and regulatory requirements.
Protect highly confidential data
Financial services organizations face some of the highest breach costs globally, raising the stakes for every delayed or mishandled alert. With Tines orchestrating the security stack, FSIs can seamlessly connect disparate tools, ensuring critical data and security alerts never fall through the cracks. This centralized approach not only eliminates blind spots, but also transforms overwhelming data volumes into actionable intelligence.
Automate response to data risk with Code42
Ingest Code42 alerts, add HR and directory context, and route based on risk criteria. Lower-severity issues generate Jira tickets with clear SLAs. Higher-severity issues create high-priority Jira tickets, suspend the user in Okta pending review, and notify the team in Slack—while documenting all actions in Cases for audit.
Automate Response to Data Risk with Tines and Code42 Incydr
Get alerts from Code42, the alert details, and the users in the alerts. If the alert is low or moderate, create a Low Priority Jira issue. If the alert is High or Critical, create a High Priority Jira Issue and suspend the user in Okta.

Streamline and accelerate incident response
After a breach, teams must move quickly and document every step. Tines can automatically document every response in real-time, whether in Tines Cases or your existing ITSM platform. This creates a comprehensive, tamper-proof audit trail that satisfies even the most stringent regulatory requirements, transforming the traditionally burdensome post-breach reporting process into a streamlined compliance asset.

Create ServiceNow incidents from SpyCloud alerts
Ingest SpyCloud breach data, assess severity with internal context (roles, access), and open the right ServiceNow tickets with categorization, priority, and assignment. Trigger protective steps (e.g., forced resets for exposed credentials) and attach evidence to the record.
Create ServiceNow incidents from SpyCloud alerts
Automate the process of pulling breach data from Spycloud. The system should check for new data ingestion or run this process every 24 hours by default. Based on the severity of the breach data, automatically create the corresponding ServiceNow ticket to document the incident within the security analyst’s workflow.

Prevent fraudulent use of your brand
Financial services is consistently reported as the most impersonated industry online. Tines helps automate brand protection end-to-end: ingest alerts, analyze domains, send takedown requests, and document everything. Tines can correlate sources (e.g. DomainTools, social platforms), apply content, and drive templated takedown workflows while tracking time-to-detection and time-to-takedown.
Generate brand protection reports with AI analysis
Ingest alerts from multiple sources, extract suspicious domains, and parse WHOIS details. Send registrar/hoster takedown notices with the right evidence, create Cases to track through resolution, and produce weekly executive summaries on trends and hotspots.

Automate evidence collection
Audit preparation can consume weeks pulling evidence from dozens of systems (e.g., SOC 2, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, NYDFS). The burden isn’t just cost; it’s the opportunity cost of senior security talent tied up in documentation rather than risk reduction. With Tines, governance, risk, and compliance teams run scheduled, framework-mapped evidence collection across security tools, clouds, and internal systems to maintain continuous audit readiness.
Add CrowdStrike Spotlight evidence to Drata
Collect vulnerability evidence on a schedule, normalize and trend findings, and attach them to the right Drata controls with metadata and timestamps. Generate exception documentation for accepted risks and keep a clean, auditor-ready trail.
