A bank handed its regulated OCI estate to us and reached 99.98% uptime.

A regulated bank could not staff 24/7 OCI operations to the standard auditors expected. We took over the run and monitoring of the estate, reaching 99.98% uptime with audit ready reporting.

The situation

Where they started.

The bank ran a critical OCI estate but its small internal team could not sustain round the clock cover. Incidents outside business hours were slow to resolve, patching slipped, and audit evidence was assembled by hand each cycle. The risk was operational and regulatory at the same time.

They needed a partner who could run the estate to a regulated standard, respond at any hour, and produce the evidence auditors asked for without a scramble.

What we did

The work.

  • Onboarded the estate with a documented runbook and clear escalation paths.
  • Stood up 24/7/365 monitoring with defined response and resolution targets.
  • Standardised patching on a tested, scheduled cycle.
  • Built audit ready reporting that produced evidence on demand.
  • Tuned alerting to cut noise and surface the incidents that mattered.
  • Reviewed posture monthly with the bank against agreed service levels.
The architecture

The OCI architecture used.

The work was as much about operating model as technology. We wrapped the existing estate in monitoring, response, and reporting that met the regulated bar.
