Real-World Case Study
How we helped a client prevent a major security breach
The Problem
Client:
E-commerce Startup (India)
Issue Found:

Impact:
Serious privacy breach and risk of financial fraud.
Our Solution
Actions Taken:
- Implemented proper object-level authorization
- Hardened API with rate-limiting and logging
- Integrated security checks into CI/CD pipeline
Result:
Zero critical issues found in the post-remediation retest.
