01 The challenge

The cooperative was due for a regulatory security audit and had no clear picture of its actual security posture. Its digital systems had grown without a formal security review process.

02 The solution

We ran a comprehensive grey-box audit: OWASP Top 10 analysis, Nmap network scanning, Burp Suite penetration testing on web applications, server configuration review, and ISO 27001 compliance assessment. We delivered a remediation plan prioritized by criticality.
