1,000+ systems certified on time.
A large North American bank faced a mandate to certify more than 1,000 systems against newly established cloud governance control objectives, in the middle of a corporate reorganization, after prior consultancy efforts had stalled and put the regulatory deadline at risk.
Context
What the work had to do.
The work had to certify every system in scope and leave behind a scalable GRC assessment model, across a fragmented global environment, while recovering the time lost to earlier engagements.

Strategy and execution
What 3HUE did.
An eight-person GRC Tiger Team
A small, senior team designed the assessment approach: decision trees, templates and working standards that made every assessment the same shape.
Assessment at scale
IT contractor teams were deployed and trained to execute assessments against the standard, with quality control held by the Tiger Team.
Capability that stayed
A contractor buyout strategy let the bank retain the trained assessors as internal capability after the program ended.
Outcomes
What changed.
Every system in scope assessed and certified within the 12-month regulatory deadline, despite the earlier delays.
The assessment framework became the bank's blueprint for ongoing cloud governance and compliance.
The buyout strategy kept trained resources in-house through the reorganization.
