The problem

The internal team had built and functionally tested the platform, but no independent third party had evaluated its offensive security. Sector regulation required pentest evidence before launch.

The solution

Gray-box pentest on the web application and APIs over 12 business days. We identified a critical IDOR vulnerability allowing one user to view other users’ transaction data, plus 7 high and 14 medium findings.

The result

The critical vulnerability was patched in 48 hours. The platform launched on its planned date with the pentest report the regulator required. Zero incidents reported in the first 6 months of operation.
