Regional Healthcare Software Provider
From manual recovery validation to around-the-clock monitoring and tested procedures
The Challenge
TrustCare Innovations, a 250-person healthcare software company, operated a clinical decision-support platform used by 1,200+ hospital clinicians daily. Without backup and recovery validation, ransomware became an existential threat. Their previous incident response approach was reactive: no monitoring between incidents, no tested recovery procedures, and no clear escalation path.
A near-miss ransomware attack exposed gaps in their security posture and forced leadership to reckon with operational risk they could no longer ignore.
Initial State
- → No 24/7 threat monitoring
- → Backup recovery untested, timelines unknown
- → Single-site infrastructure with no segmentation
- → Limited incident response experience
- → No audit evidence for HIPAA compliance
Our Approach
1. Assess & Plan (Month 1): Security assessment, backup validation, recovery procedure documentation, infrastructure review.
2. Fortify & Segment (Months 2-3): Network segmentation, EDR deployment, firewall hardening, recovery site preparation.
3. Watch (Ongoing): 24/7 SOC with threat monitoring, log aggregation, and escalation-based response.
4. Test & Improve (Quarterly): Recovery testing, audit evidence gathering, HIPAA compliance readiness.
Validated recovery time from clean backup to operational systems
Audit evidence generation for HIPAA compliance reviews
Alert to analyst investigation for critical threats
"Raspberry Bastion gave us the confidence that we have a real recovery plan and the monitoring to catch threats early. When an incident does occur, we know we can recover in hours instead of days. That transforms how we think about risk."
— Dr. Sarah Chen, CIO, TrustCare Innovations
Multi-Site Specialty Manufacturer
From distributed security silos to integrated, monitored, resilient operations
The Challenge
Precision Components Mfg operates five manufacturing facilities across North America with independent IT teams and divergent security practices. Remote access expanded during the pandemic, but OT/IT security integration remained minimal. Each site had unique vulnerabilities and no coordinated threat detection.
An attempted insider threat exposed the cost of fragmented security operations and the risk of leveraging remote access without proper segmentation.
Initial State
- → Five separate security postures, no central visibility
- → Minimal OT/IT segmentation
- → Remote access ungoverned across sites
- → No centralized monitoring or threat detection
- → Business continuity plans not synchronized
Our Approach
1. Unified Visibility (Month 1-2): Deploy EDR and monitoring across all five sites, aggregate logs to central SOC.
2. OT/IT Segmentation (Months 3-4): Design and deploy network segmentation between operational and corporate systems at each facility.
3. Remote Access Control (Month 5): Implement zero-trust remote access, enforce MFA, segment by site and role.
4. Unified Continuity Planning (Months 6+): Align recovery procedures across sites, establish backup synchronization, quarterly testing.
Reduction in cross-site security incidents after segmentation
Mean detection time for malicious activity across all sites
Remote access now governed by zero-trust policies
"We now have one unified security posture across all five facilities. That clarity and coordinated detection capability has changed how we approach risk. The team is less reactive and more proactive."

Fintech Platform Company
From audit exposure to compliance readiness and evidence-backed controls
The Challenge
Nexus Financial was growing rapidly in the regulatory payments space. Aggressive AWS cloud migration created configuration risks that outpaced the security team's ability to audit. SOC 2 Type II certification was due in six months, but evidence of controls was scattered across multiple systems with no audit trail.
The CTO knew they would either slow growth for a security audit, or face significant audit findings that could jeopardize customer trust and contracts.
Initial State
- → Rapid cloud growth outpacing security controls
- → No continuous compliance visibility
- → Manual audit evidence gathering, incomplete audit trail
- → Dispersed configuration management
- → SOC 2 readiness low with 6 months to audit
Our Approach
1. Cloud Assessment (Weeks 1-2): Deep AWS configuration audit, compliance gap identification against SOC 2 and PCI-DSS requirements.
2. CSPM Deployment (Weeks 3-4): Cloud security posture management platform for continuous compliance monitoring and evidence generation.
3. Remediation & Control Implementation (Months 2-3): Systematic remediation of configuration gaps, implement missing controls.
4. Audit Evidence & Documentation (Months 4-6): Generate audit evidence, document control procedures, prepare for SOC 2 audit.
Critical cloud misconfigurations remediated
Audit evidence automatically generated and verified
Critical or major findings in SOC 2 Type II audit
"Raspberry Bastion took what looked like an audit nightmare and turned it into a competitive advantage. We passed SOC 2 Type II without major findings, and now we have continuous visibility into our cloud security posture. Customers are asking for our compliance evidence—and we have it."
— Jennifer Walsh, Chief Compliance Officer, Nexus Financial
