Key Outcomes

•Closed 100% of critical and high-severity findings in 8 weeks
•Delivered evidence pack enabling enterprise procurement approval
•Established ongoing vulnerability management rituals

Outcome: Audit-ready in 8 weeks — all critical/high VAPT items closed.

Context

A South Korea digital health platform needed to pass enterprise security review. A third-party VAPT surfaced critical API auth gaps and logging blind spots.

Problem

12 critical/high findings with a fixed enterprise deadline.
Engineering team lacked security specialist capacity.
No evidence trail for ISO-aligned controls.

Approach

Week 1 — Triage, Jira backlog, owner assignment.
Week 2–6 — Auth hardening, WAF rules, SIEM alerts, Terraform baselines.
Week 7–8 — Re-test, evidence pack (screenshots, configs, policies).

Deliverables

Policy set, remediation backlog, and procurement-ready evidence pack mapped to ISO 27001 annex controls.

Results

Re-test clean on critical/high items; enterprise contract signed same quarter.
