The challenge

Where they were starting from.

The client was preparing to expand its customer portal, which allowed users to log in, access account information and submit requests. Before expanding the platform, the business needed confidence that existing security controls could withstand real world attacks. The main concerns were weaknesses in authentication, user permission issues, exposed API endpoints, sensitive customer information and outdated third party dependencies.

Our approach

Three decisions that shaped the outcome.

  1. 01

    What We Did

    OnyxEra performed a full security assessment of the portal and supporting APIs.

  2. 02

    What We Found

    The assessment identified several security weaknesses that could have allowed unauthorised access to application functionality and sensitive information. Each finding was documented with severity, business impact, technical evidence, reproduction steps and recommended remediation.

  3. 03

    What We Delivered

    Security Assessment, Vulnerability Report, Remediation Plan, Fix Verification. The development team used the findings to address the identified vulnerabilities before the platform expansion.

The outcome

A more secure customer portal with clearer access controls and greater confidence before scaling the platform.
