BACKGROUND

Supporting compliance during a high-pressure merger

A leading financial services organization was navigating a large-scale merger that introduced new regulatory requirements and operational complexity. With millions of customer transactions at stake, the organization needed to ensure compliance with Global Risk and Compliance (GRC) policies and SOX requirements while maintaining business continuity. 

THE OPPORTUNITY

The organization had an opportunity to strengthen its compliance framework by aligning GRC and SOX processes to support a more scalable, post-merger operating model. 

THE CHALLENGE

The organization needed to achieve full compliance within a 30-day timeline while managing increased regulatory scrutiny and limited internal capacity. 

THE CHALLENGE

Managing complex compliance requirements under tight timelines

The merger introduced a more complex application landscape, expanded risk controls, and heightened regulatory oversight. Achieving compliance required coordinated testing, validation, and documentation across multiple systems and teams.

Internal resources were not equipped to scale quickly enough to meet the 30-day deadline. At the same time, any gaps in compliance could delay integration timelines or introduce risk to millions of customer transactions. The organization needed a partner who could rapidly deploy expertise, execute control testing at scale, and ensure regulatory alignment without disrupting ongoing operations.

THE SOLUTION

Rapidly scaling a compliance model built for speed and accuracy

TSG mobilized a dedicated compliance team in under 30 days to support end-to-end GRC and SOX implementation throughout the merger integration.

The team developed and executed structured test plans, validated controls, and supported documentation to meet regulatory requirements. Leveraging a managed solutions approach, TSG introduced process improvements, delivered targeted training, and established governance frameworks to support consistency and accountability.

This approach enabled the organization to meet immediate compliance needs while building a more repeatable and scalable model for ongoing risk management.
