“As we scaled our client base into regulated industries, the question was no longer if we needed a structured security program - it was how quickly we could get one in place without disrupting our delivery pace.”

The Challenge

Operating Context Before Engagement

  • No external attack surface visibility

    Development and staging environments were inadvertently exposed to the public internet, with no systematic process to discover or monitor external-facing assets.

  • Absence of formal security policies

    No documented incident response plan, access control policy, or data classification framework existed, leaving the organisation operationally exposed.

  • Compliance gaps blocking enterprise deals

    Enterprise clients in BFSI and healthcare were requiring ISO 27001 and SOC 2 alignment as a precondition for engagement, which required significant foundational work.

  • Third-party risk with no vetting process

    Mobcoder relied on over 20 SaaS tools and open-source dependencies with no formal vendor risk assessment or continuous monitoring process in place.

The Solution

The Foresee Security Engagement

  • Phase 1 - External Attack Surface Assessment (EASM)

    Foresee Security deployed its Foresee AI platform to conduct a comprehensive external attack surface mapping of Mobcoder's digital footprint. Within 72 hours, the assessment surfaced 12 critical and high-severity findings, including publicly indexed development environments, misconfigured DNS records, and expired SSL certificates on production subdomains.

  • Phase 2 - Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing (VAPT)

    A targeted VAPT engagement was conducted across Mobcoder's web applications and API endpoints. Foresee's security engineers identified injection vulnerabilities, broken authentication flows, and insecure direct object references - all posing direct risk to client data hosted on the platform.

  • Phase 3 - GRC & Compliance Roadmap

    Foresee's GRC advisory team conducted a gap analysis against ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and helped Mobcoder prioritise its remediation efforts. A 90-day compliance roadmap was developed, covering policy documentation, access control implementation, vendor risk assessment templates, and incident response playbooks.

  • Phase 4 - vCISO Retainer

    Post-remediation, Mobcoder retained Foresee Security under a virtual CISO (vCISO) arrangement to provide ongoing security oversight, quarterly risk reviews, and support for client security questionnaires.

Business Outcomes

Results That Move the Business

  • Closed deals that would have been lost

    Mobcoder successfully passed security due diligence reviews from two enterprise clients in the BFSI sector - deals that required a formal security posture they previously could not demonstrate.

  • ISO 27001 readiness pathway established

    A formal compliance roadmap was developed with certification targeted within 6 months, giving the leadership team a clear, structured path to internationally recognised certification.

  • Incident response plans documented and tested

    Business continuity and incident response playbooks were created and tested, reducing operational risk and improving internal security hygiene across the organisation.

  • Continuous security oversight via vCISO

    An ongoing vCISO retainer ensured the security program aligned with business growth - providing quarterly reviews, board-level reporting, and advisory support without the cost of a full-time hire.

“The ROI was immediate. We closed deals we would have lost, our team has a clear security baseline to build on, and I sleep better at night knowing we have Foresee watching our back.”
