Global AI Consultancy

Case Study

An international AI strategy and consultancy firm, renowned for connecting organisations with global AI talent and accelerating digital transformation, sought to enhance its cybersecurity posture amid rapid growth and increasing complexity. The firm specialises in deploying advanced machine learning solutions by combining academic AI research with industry experience, enabling clients to bypass traditional hiring bottlenecks and deliver innovation at speed. As a trusted cybersecurity partner, Aristi collaborated with the firm to assess vulnerabilities, strengthen digital defences, and embed long-term resilience into their operations.

The Challenge

Operating globally, the client relies on a distributed digital infrastructure to enable seamless collaboration across remote teams, clients, and cloud-based platforms. This environment involves the daily handling of sensitive data, proprietary algorithms, and high-value intellectual property, often accessed across borders, devices, and networks.

Such conditions make the organisation a prime target for cybercriminals. The convergence of:

  • Valuable and sensitive digital assets
  • Remote and distributed work models
  • Third-party technology integrations
  • Cloud-native infrastructure

…exposes the organisation to sophisticated threats including phishing, ransomware, data breaches, and AI-specific risks such as model tampering.

The pace of AI innovation further complicates the security landscape. Traditional security approaches are often insufficient, and internal cybersecurity capability-building is resource-intensive and complex. The organisation needed a specialist partner with deep understanding of both AI operations and cybersecurity, to ensure resilience without impeding growth or agility.

The Solution

Aristi delivered a comprehensive, partnership-driven cybersecurity engagement, recognising that cybersecurity is not a one-time fix but a strategic and cultural shift. Our approach focused on sustainable risk management, technical insight, and alignment with the client’s business goals.

Key components of the solution included:

  • Risk-Based Assessments: Identifying critical assets, threat vectors, and vulnerabilities across infrastructure, web applications, APIs, and Microsoft 365 environments.
  • Tailored Testing: Conducting penetration testing and simulated breach scenarios, designed to reflect the client's unique platform architecture and operational realities.
  • Cloud & Infrastructure Security Reviews: Evaluating cloud configurations and external attack surfaces to reduce exposure and strengthen defences.
  • Collaborative Reporting: Delivering clear, prioritised, and actionable insights to empower internal teams and drive informed decision-making.
  • Continuous Support: Providing ongoing vulnerability scanning and advisory services to maintain security posture amid evolving threats.

This proactive approach helped build awareness across teams, enabling a more mature security culture and enhancing alignment between technical findings and strategic business needs.

The Outcome

Through targeted testing and strategic guidance, Aristi enabled the client to gain a clear, accurate view of their current security posture. Key outcomes included:

  • Identification and remediation of high-priority vulnerabilities
  • Strengthened protection across web applications, cloud environments, and external infrastructure
  • Improved internal awareness and capability to manage cybersecurity risks
  • Enhanced trust with stakeholders, clients, and regulators

By aligning cybersecurity initiatives with business objectives, we fostered a high-trust relationship that continues to evolve. The client has since embedded cybersecurity as a core pillar of their service delivery model, enabling them to scale their distributed AI services securely and with confidence.

Our partnership is ongoing, driven by open communication, shared commitment to excellence, and a continuous improvement mindset.
