Meridian Bank: removing regulatory exposure where it starts
40M records mapped Audit prep: months → 11 days Zero new headcount
The challenge
Growth had outrun governance
After three acquisitions, Meridian Bank held customer data in 60+ systems across four countries — with no single map of what existed, who could touch it, or which rules applied. Each audit cycle consumed the compliance team for a full quarter, and examiners kept finding the same gaps.
The board gave the bank eighteen months: prove continuous control, or face restrictions on new product launches.
The approach
Map first, then enforce
PHASE 02
Policies that run themselves
Access and retention rules were codified once and bound to classified data, cutting standing access to sensitive tables by 70% in a quarter.
PHASE 03
Evidence on demand
Every control now writes to an auditor-ready log. The most recent exam closed in eleven days with zero findings carried forward.
"Audit prep used to consume our team for a full quarter. With Hushgate Privacy the evidence was already there — our last exam closed in eleven days."
