Challenge: A client was launching a new AI recruitment platform on AWS. They needed assurance that sensitive candidate data and proprietary algorithms were secure from both external threats and internal misconfigurations before going live.

Our Process: We conducted our full Secure Architecture Review, focusing on the AWS environment (S3, IAM, Lambda) and the application’s core APIs. We identified insecure data handling practices and several high-risk API vulnerabilities that could have led to a data breach.

Outcome: We delivered a prioritized roadmap that the development team used to harden the platform. The client launched with confidence, knowing their system was architecturally sound and secure against the identified threats.

Challenge: An application handling real-time financial transactions required an expert security assessment beyond what their automated scanning tools could provide. They were concerned about complex business logic flaws.

Our Process: Our analysis combined a detailed architectural review with targeted manual penetration testing of the payment processing workflow. We discovered a critical business logic flaw that would have allowed fraudulent transactions to be processed under specific conditions.

Outcome: The flaw was remediated immediately, preventing a significant financial fraud vector. This strengthened trust with their payment processors and investors, and protected their end-users.

Tags: Cloud Architecture, API Security, SaaS

Challenge: A client was migrating from a monolithic application to a microservices architecture. They were concerned that the new, complex communication patterns between services were introducing security risks that were difficult to track.

Our Process: We reviewed the new architecture, focusing on the API gateway, inter-service communication protocols, and the security of individual service deployments. Our analysis identified issues with service-to-service authentication and inconsistent secret management practices.

Outcome: We provided a hardened security pattern for their microservices. This enabled the client to continue their migration confidently, with a scalable and more secure foundation that protected data as it moved between services.

Tags: Incident Response, Strategy, Compliance

Challenge: A media client experienced a minor security incident but had no formal process to handle it, leading to a chaotic and slow response. They needed a structured plan to manage future incidents effectively.

Our Process: We conducted a post-incident review to identify procedural gaps. Based on this, we designed and documented a comprehensive Incident Response (IR) Plan, including communication protocols, technical containment steps, and recovery procedures. We also ran a tabletop exercise with their team to test the plan.

Outcome: The client now has a clear, actionable IR plan that aligns with industry best practices. Their team is trained and prepared, enabling them to respond swiftly and effectively to future security incidents, minimizing potential damage and downtime.

Tags: API Security, SaaS

Challenge: A client’s core product relied on a complex set of RESTful APIs, but they had not undergone a specific security review. They were concerned about potential abuse and data exposure as they scaled their user base.

Our Process: We performed a targeted security assessment of the API, focusing on authentication, authorization, rate limiting, and business logic. We discovered several vulnerabilities, including an authorization bypass flaw that could have allowed users to access data outside of their permissions.

Outcome: We provided detailed, developer-friendly remediation guidance. The client secured their API, protecting their core business logic and customer data, which allowed them to confidently onboard larger enterprise clients.

Tags: Data Architecture, Compliance, E-commerce

Challenge: A client’s data warehouse, which powered their business intelligence and analytics, had grown organically. The data access controls were inconsistent, creating a significant risk of internal data misuse and non-compliance with data protection regulations.

Our Process: We reviewed the end-to-end data pipeline, from the ETL processes to the data warehouse itself. We designed a new, robust Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) model and identified gaps in data encryption, both in transit and at rest.

Outcome: We provided a clear roadmap to implement the new security model. This secured their sensitive customer and financial data, enabled them to meet compliance requirements like GDPR, and built a more trustworthy and scalable data platform for their future growth.

Tags: Network Security, Risk Analysis

Challenge: A company with valuable client data spread across multiple platforms lacked a unified security strategy, leaving them vulnerable and without a clear plan for business continuity in case of an attack.

Our Process: We designed and implemented a new network security architecture, deployed penetration assessment tools to validate the new design, and created a formal disaster recovery plan.

Outcome: The company’s core infrastructure was hardened against common cyberattacks, protecting client data and ensuring business continuity.

Tags: Compliance, Risk Analysis, Strategy

Challenge: A company expanding into a new market needed to formalize its security posture to meet compliance requirements (like GDPR) and build trust with larger enterprise customers.

Our Process: We worked directly with their leadership team to develop a comprehensive suite of information security policies. This included an overarching Information Security Policy, an Acceptable Use Policy, and a Data Classification Policy, all designed to be practical and easy for staff to follow.

Outcome: The client successfully implemented the new policy framework. This not only helped them achieve their compliance goals but also allowed them to use their strong, well-documented security posture as a key selling point to attract and win bigger, security-conscious customers.
