About TechCorp
TechCorp is a rapidly growing SaaS platform providing project management solutions to teams worldwide. With 50+ employees and thousands of users, they needed to scale their security practices to match their growth.
The Challenge
As TechCorp pursued enterprise customers, they faced several security challenges:
Manual Testing Bottlenecks
Their security team manually tested applications before each release, creating a bottleneck that slowed down their two-week release cycle.
Enterprise Security Requirements
Enterprise prospects required security certifications, penetration test reports, and evidence of continuous security monitoring—all of which were time-consuming to produce.
Limited Security Resources
With only two security engineers, they couldn’t keep up with the pace of development across multiple product teams.
Compliance Pressure
Customers increasingly asked about SOC 2, ISO 27001, and other compliance frameworks, requiring documented security processes.
The Solution
TechCorp implemented WebSecurityScore to automate their security testing workflow:
CI/CD Integration
They integrated automated security scans into their GitHub Actions pipeline, running tests on every pull request and deployment.

Continuous Monitoring
Production applications are scanned daily, with alerts sent to Slack for any new vulnerabilities discovered.
Compliance Reporting
Automated compliance reports are generated monthly for SOC 2 audits and customer security questionnaires.
Developer Training
The security team uses WebSecurityScore findings to educate developers on secure coding practices during code reviews.
The Results
After six months of using WebSecurityScore, TechCorp achieved remarkable improvements:
75% Reduction in Vulnerabilities
By catching issues early in the development cycle, they reduced production vulnerabilities from an average of 28 per month to just 7.
15 Hours Saved Weekly
Automated scanning eliminated manual testing work, freeing up the security team to focus on strategic initiatives.
12 Enterprise Deals Closed
With automated security reports and compliance documentation, they successfully closed 12 enterprise deals worth $2.4M in ARR.
Faster Release Cycles
Security testing no longer blocks releases. They maintained their two-week release schedule while improving security.
Improved Developer Confidence
Developers can now verify security before submitting pull requests, reducing back-and-forth with the security team.
Key Takeaways
Start Early
Integrating security testing into CI/CD from the beginning prevents security debt from accumulating.
Automate Everything
Automation scales security practices without scaling headcount.
Make Security Visible
Dashboards and reports make security status transparent to the entire organization.
Educate Developers
Use security findings as teaching moments to build a security-aware culture.
What’s Next
TechCorp plans to:
- Expand scanning to cover their mobile APIs
- Implement automated dependency updates
- Add security metrics to their executive dashboard
- Pursue SOC 2 Type II certification
