The Challenge
What We Were Up Against
SecureVault processed $500M annually but had never had a professional security audit. An internal review uncovered shared admin passwords, unpatched servers from 2019, and customer data stored in unencrypted S3 buckets — a regulatory and liability catastrophe waiting to happen.
Our Solution
How We Solved It
We ran a full red-team penetration test, identified 147 vulnerabilities (11 critical), implemented zero-trust architecture across all systems, deployed 24/7 SIEM monitoring, and shepherded the team to SOC2 Type II certification in 90 days.
01
Penetration Testing
Full red-team engagement discovered 147 vulnerabilities including SQL injection, SSRF, and exposed AWS keys in GitHub.
02
Critical Patch Sprint
11 critical vulnerabilities patched in 72 hours — unencrypted S3 data secured, secrets rotated, public RDS instances closed.
03
Zero-Trust Architecture
Replaced VPN-based access with Cloudflare Zero Trust — every resource requires identity + device verification.
04
SIEM & SOC Setup
Deployed AWS Security Hub + custom detection rules — alert fatigue reduced 80% through smart triage.
05
SOC2 Programme
70 controls mapped, evidence collected, and Type II audit passed in 90 days — first attempt.
The Impact
Measurable Results
Zero security incidents in the 24 months following hardening
147 vulnerabilities remediated (11 critical, 36 high)
SOC2 Type II certification achieved in 90 days
Unlocked $12M enterprise contract requiring SOC2 compliance
Cyber insurance premium reduced 35% post-certification
"We didn't know how exposed we were until TechGeneses showed us. In 90 days they transformed our security posture completely — and the SOC2 certification unlocked a $12M deal we couldn't have won otherwise."
