Case Study: Security Assessment for a Big Company in Finance Sector
Project:
Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing
Scope:
Web Application, Mobile Application, Network, API

Client Overview: Our client, a prominent company in the finance sector, manages a wide range of financial services through internal web applications, customer-facing mobile apps, and critical server infrastructure. With operations spread across 13 different office locations, ensuring the security of their digital assets was vital to protecting sensitive financial data and maintaining customer trust.

Challenge: The client needed a comprehensive security audit to identify and address vulnerabilities within their internal web applications, customer-facing mobile app, and server infrastructure. Given the distributed nature of their operations across 13 office locations, a coordinated on-site Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) was essential to ensure consistent
security standards across all sites.

Our Approach: We undertook an extensive on-site VAPT across all 13 office locations, focusing on the client’s internal web applications, customer-facing mobile app, and server infrastructure. Our team conducted a thorough assessment, simulating real-world attack scenarios to uncover vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malicious actors. Throughout the engagement, we identified several critical security issues across the various components of the client’s digital infrastructure, including potential risks such as unauthorized access, information disclosure, account takeover, and remote code execution. Each vulnerability was documented in a detailed report, which included the potential impact of the issues and prioritized recommendations for remediation. In addition to the assessment, our team worked closely with the client’s IT and security teams at each office location to ensure that all identified vulnerabilities were promptly addressed. This collaborative effort helped to reinforce the security of the client’s internal and customer-facing systems, providing them with a stronger, more resilient digital infrastructure. By conducting a thorough on-site VAPT across all 13 offices, we ensured that the client’s financial operations were safeguarded against potential threats. The result was a significant enhancement in their overall security posture, protecting their sensitive data and reinforcing their reputation as a trusted provider in the finance sector.
