Corporate meeting

Specialized security operations for pharmaceutical compliance

The Challenge

Tanner Pharma faced critical challenges managing enterprise-scale endpoint security and regulatory compliance across two countries. Limited internal capacity, growing threats targeting pharmaceutical operations, inconsistent compliance certifications, lack of structured vulnerability management, and no 24×7 coverage across US and UK time zones created material security and operational risk.


Our approach

Regulated industry demands enterprise-grade security

Teceze implemented an integrated Managed Security Service model combining threat detection, compliance infrastructure, and 24×7 operations. The engagement consolidated EDR/XDR, vulnerability management, compliance certification, email security, and service desk operations into a unified offshore-led delivery model.

The integrated security model included:

Endpoint detection and response (EDR/XDR)

Proactive threat monitoring across all endpoints.

Vulnerability and patch management

Structured scanning, prioritization, and remediation tracking.

Compliance certification and audit support

Dedicated support for Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus.

Email security and phishing defense

Advanced filtering and user security awareness training.

Governance and Reporting Cadence

A structured governance model ensured consistent visibility across security performance, incident management, compliance, and business priorities.

Cadence Activity Participants

The 58% incident reduction reflects effective detection and employee awareness. The 100% certification maintenance demonstrates audit-ready operations.
