Challenge

The client, specializing in manufacturing industry software, lacked dedicated Security and QA teams. This gap led to significant challenges in maintaining the quality and security of their products,

  • Loss of Customer Trust - The client faced difficulties in establishing customer trust due to the absence of an in-house security team. This lack of dedicated security personnel meant that unidentified vulnerabilities could be exploited by attackers, compromising customer data and damaging the client’s reputation
     

  • Limited Test Coverage - Without a dedicated Quality Assurance (QA) team, the client struggled to perform comprehensive testing and maintain consistent quality assurance. Relying primarily on developer testing led to potential security vulnerabilities and data-related bugs reaching production.

Solution

We partnered with the client to conduct a multifaceted assessment :

  • Penetration Testing -  We simulated real-world attacks using ZAP, Burp suite and other Penetration testing tools to identify security vulnerabilities in the Client's application deployed as a cloud solution. During the engagement of two weeks we identified multiple vulnerabilities including two critical issues and shared mitigations for all of them
     

  • Cloud Security Assessment - Client has deployed their solution over Digital Ocean as their IaaS service provided. We analyzed the security posture of their deployment over 2 weeks found more than 75% of Non-compliance and recommended best practices to strengthen their posture.
     

  • Functional Testing - Based on our expert background on QA we also reported more than 10 input data-related functionality bugs that we encountered during our penetration testing engagement.

Results

  • Enhanced Security - Client addressed high priority Non-Compliant issues  reported on their cloud posture within weeks of reporting that significantly reduced the attack surface of their cloud deployment, leading to a enhanced secure deployment for customers
     

  • Improved customer trust - Client demonstrated their commitment to security through comprehensive testing by sharing our reports to their customers and roadmap to fix those issues, which helped the client build trust with their customers.

​

  • Increased application stability - Client quickly added resolution of the data-related bugs to their further releases to ensure data accuracy in their application
