An innovative US-based company offering human resources software solutions for huge corporations worldwide had the ambitious aim to change customers\u2019 perceptions of a team recognition and award program. The client\u2019s holistic platform provides human resources (HR) specialists with a rewarding solution for offering personalized gifts to their team members.<\/p>\n
As an enterprise platform, the solution needed to comply with security requirements to protect against potential corporate software threats. Moreover, neglecting cybersecurity challenges that modern retailers face can result in data breaches and, as a result, can have a devastating impact on a company\u2019s reputation and assets.<\/p>\n
Aiming to enhance the protection of their solution, our client sought out IT security consulting<\/a> experts with a wide range of security consulting services. As we already had a successful working relationship with the client and delivered\u00a0retail software services<\/a>, we were interested in extending our cooperation and providing cybersecurity consulting services to their company. Our client decided to entrust one of our certified and highly skilled security specialists with the responsibility for identifying, prioritizing, and mitigating information security risks in their solution.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n With the aim to ensure that end users\u2019 data is effectively protected, our involvement in this project spanned a wide range of security consulting services from security testing to retail cybersecurity consulting<\/a>, including security auditing and monitoring, proactive loss prevention, and provision of technical guidance on security issues to the client\u2019s development team.<\/p>\n An Intellias Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP) executed the project in one month. To ensure that the client\u2019s solution wasn\u2019t vulnerable to any known type of cyberattack, our OSCP expert built the test process around the OWASP Web Security Testing Guide and SANS approaches. The testing we conducted included the following techniques:<\/p>\n Our OSCP-certified expert\u2019s thorough analysis and comprehensive testing of the corporate gift-giving solution<\/a> resulted in a detailed report on all identified vulnerabilities. The report, which divided these vulnerabilities according to the standard impact-based approach (informational, low, medium, high, and critical), included a fair number of critical issues that required prompt action from the client\u2019s development team. We supplemented this report with a detailed description of each security gap, provided technical guidance on fixing those gaps, and suggested improvements to the platform\u2019s security and countermeasures against cyberattacks.<\/p>\n We also issued a certificate testifying to the solution\u2019s compliance with the highest security standards so the client can provide proof of the solution\u2019s security to their customers.<\/p>\nSecurity consulting services delivered<\/h2>\n
