End-to-End Application Security Program for a Global eCommerce Brand

Built a mature AppSec program from scratch — integrating SAST, DAST, and SCA tooling into CI/CD pipelines and reducing critical vulnerabilities by 85% within six months.

End-to-End Application Security Program for a Global eCommerce Brand

THE BRIEF

An eCommerce Giant Needed a Mature AppSec Program

A global eCommerce brand processing millions of daily transactions had no formal application security program. Penetration tests were conducted annually but findings were rarely remediated. Development teams had no security tooling integrated into their workflows.

  • Annual pen tests producing hundreds of findings with low remediation rates
  • No SAST, DAST, or SCA tooling integrated into any CI/CD pipeline
  • Security team operating entirely reactively — no proactive vulnerability management
  • OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities present across 6 of their 9 core applications

Our objective was to build and embed a fully mature, developer-friendly AppSec program that found and fixed vulnerabilities before they reached production.
