Engagements we can describe. The rest stay where they belong.

The Challenge

A regional banking group survived a ransomware intrusion by hours. The board lost confidence in a security function that had no leadership and no operating model.

Our Approach

Nexora ran an emergency CISO search in parallel with a SOC maturity assessment, then embedded recruiters to staff a 24/7 detection capability from zero.

The Outcome

• Security leadership placed within weeks
• A round-the-clock capability staffed within a quarter
• Detection and response materially faster

The Challenge

An institutional investor was days from signing when fragments of the counterparty's ownership stopped reconciling across jurisdictions.

Our Approach

Our investigations team combined open-source intelligence with discreet in-region verification to reconstruct the true beneficial-ownership chain.

The Outcome

• Hidden control structure exposed across several jurisdictions
• A material exposure avoided before signing
• Findings delivered before the signing window closed

The Challenge

A Gulf logistics operator wanted to expand into three African corridors but had no way to weigh commercial upside against political and security risk.

Our Approach

We built a phased entry strategy with explicit risk gates, pairing strategy principals with field officers for on-ground verification.

The Outcome

• Entry sequenced to risk, not ambition
• One corridor de-prioritised before capital was committed
• Local security posture designed pre-launch

The Challenge

A multinational faced a regulatory inspection with a sanctions-screening programme that examiners had already flagged.

Our Approach

Risk & Compliance ran targeted remediation against the specific findings while leaving production screening live and uninterrupted.

The Outcome

• All 14 findings remediated
• Zero operational downtime
• Inspection passed without escalation
