Regulatory
Examiners want evidence, not scan counts
DORA, NYDFS Part 500 and SEC disclosure rules ask how quickly you identified and addressed material exposure. A CVSS backlog is not an answer.
Industry
Exposure management for Financial Services
Banks, insurers and payment providers run the most regulated attack surface there is, with the least tolerance for downtime. Zafran shows examiners and boards which exposures were exploitable, which were mitigated and how fast, using the scanners and controls you already own.
Pressures
What financial services security teams are up against
Attack surface
Core banking meets public cloud and APIs
Mainframe-adjacent systems, third-party fintech integrations and customer-facing APIs share a network with very different patch realities.
Operational reality
Change windows are measured in minutes
Trading, payments and policy systems cannot take unplanned downtime. Mitigation through existing controls buys the time to patch safely.
Regulations & frameworks
Evidence your auditors will ask for
Zafran's validation record shows which exposures were exploitable, which were mitigated by a control, and when. That is the artifact these frameworks want.
- DORA
- PCI DSS 4.0
- NYDFS Part 500
- SEC cyber disclosure
- FFIEC
How Zafran helps
Three lifecycle stages that matter most in financial services
02 · Assess & Validate
Prove which exposures are material
Runtime presence, reachability and exploitation intelligence show which of thousands of findings could actually be used against a regulated system.
- Materiality evidence for disclosure decisions
- Asset criticality mapped to business services
- Exploitation activity correlated to your estate

03 · Risk Mitigation
Stop panic patching
When a critical CVE lands, apply the WAF, EDR or network control that closes the path now, then patch inside the normal change window.
- Mitigation in minutes, not emergency changes
- Control coverage visible per finding
- Rollback-safe, auditable actions
UI · toggles
05 · Reporting & Analytics
Board-ready exposure reporting
One view of exploitable exposure by business line, with SLA performance and the evidence trail regulators expect.
- Trend by business unit and region
- Validation evidence attached to every closed item
- Exports for audit and examiner requests

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How does Zafran help with DORA and NYDFS Part 500?
Both require timely identification and treatment of ICT and cyber risk, with evidence. Zafran records which exposures were exploitable, which control mitigated them and when, giving you the audit trail.
Can Zafran support SEC materiality assessments?
Zafran shows whether a vulnerability is reachable and running on systems tied to a business service, which is the technical input a materiality decision needs.
Does Zafran work with mainframe and legacy systems?
Zafran ingests findings from the scanners that cover those systems and maps them to the network and endpoint controls in front of them, so legacy assets can be mitigated even when they cannot be patched.
Will it disrupt production?
Discovery is agentless and mitigation actions run through the controls you already operate, with approval and rollback.
