Challenge

Securing critical infrastructure while meeting compliance requirements

Our client is a UK-based AI-powered discovery and search technology provider serving more than 3,000 retailers worldwide. Their intelligent search platform leverages machine learning and natural language processing to deliver highly relevant search experiences and drive revenue growth for global brands across multiple industries.

 

As the organization continued to expand its services and customer base, maintaining strong cybersecurity controls became increasingly important. The company required Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) to meet compliance obligations while ensuring its critical infrastructure remained protected against evolving cyber threats and sophisticated attacks.

 

Beyond compliance requirements, the organization was looking for expert guidance from experienced cybersecurity professionals rather than a purely tool-driven service provider. They needed actionable recommendations, detailed risk analysis, and a structured approach to identifying, prioritizing, and remediating vulnerabilities across their environment.

  • Meeting cybersecurity compliance requirements through VAPT
  • Conducting penetration testing across critical infrastructure

Delivering comprehensive VAPT backed by cybersecurity expertise

The organization required more than an automated security assessment. They needed a cybersecurity partner capable of combining technical expertise, industry best practices, and hands-on experience to provide a complete understanding of risks across their infrastructure.

 

SharkStriker performed a comprehensive penetration test utilizing manual assessments, automated testing techniques, and proprietary security scripts to evaluate the organization’s critical infrastructure. The engagement examined web applications, backend networks, databases, source code components, and supporting systems to identify security weaknesses and assess potential business impact.

 

Following the assessment, SharkStriker provided a detailed risk assessment report outlining identified vulnerabilities, risk severity levels, and prioritized remediation recommendations. After remediation activities were completed, a second round of testing was conducted to validate that vulnerabilities had been effectively addressed and that no new weaknesses had been introduced.

  • Comprehensive manual and automated penetration testing
  • Assessment of web applications, databases, networks, and source code
  • Detailed risk assessment and remediation guidance
  • Revalidation testing following vulnerability remediation
