The Challenge
The client was 30 days from a public launch of a mobile-first banking app handling live payments and KYC data. Regulators required an independent security assessment, and leadership needed confidence that customer funds and PII were safe.
Our Approach
We ran a full grey-box VAPT across the mobile apps, backend APIs and cloud infrastructure — combining manual exploitation with automated scanning. Every finding was reproduced with proof-of-concept and triaged by real-world exploitability.
The Outcome
All critical and high-severity issues — including a broken authorization flaw that exposed account balances — were fixed and re-tested before launch. The bank went live on schedule with a clean assessment report for its regulator.
