About the Client
A long-established U.S.-based financial services provider offering digital banking, loan processing, and financial planning platforms for retail and commercial customers. The client manages sensitive financial data across a multi-channel digital ecosystem.
Challenges
As the client rapidly evolved their digital banking portal to meet customer demands, they faced growing security risks and compliance obligations:
- Complex multi-step workflows, such as account creation and loan approvals, lacked structured security validation
- Parallel development across teams introduced inconsistent security enforcement and exposed vulnerable endpoints
- Inadequate validation of both backend APIs and frontend UI allowed potential attack vectors to go undetected
- Data exposure and session inconsistencies resulted from untested asynchronous service behavior
