The Challenge

What We Were Up Against

Preparing for a Series B raise, this fintech client needed to demonstrate banking-grade security to investors. Their legacy codebase had accumulation technical debt, and initial scans revealed critical vulnerabilities in their API authentication layer.

The Solution

Our Strategic Approach

We conducted a full "Grey Box" penetration test, refactored their entire authentication middleware, implemented WAF rules at the edge, and established a DevSecOps pipeline to prevent future regressions.
