Safeguarding Payroll and Benefits at Scale

A global technology services leader with deep expertise in enterprise software, product engineering, and digital transformation. The client supports Fortune 500 organizations across the BFSI, healthcare, and telecom sectors and operates a large in-house HRMS platform for its global workforce.

The client’s custom-built HRMS application, deployed across multiple countries, faced growing security risks due to rapid configuration changes and expanding feature sets. Key challenges included:

• Sensitive payroll and compliance modules lacked structured security validation
• Frequent configuration updates introduced new vulnerabilities in core HR workflows
• No systematic security coverage for onboarding, payroll, and benefits modules
• Release timelines were impacted by delayed vulnerability detection and uncoordinated security feedback

Evoke implemented a blended Application Security (Sprint-wise) and Product Security approach to secure the HRMS platform in line with global compliance mandates:

• Conducted module-wise security testing
• Performed configuration and infrastructure testing
• Enabled region-specific threat modeling and prioritization

• Achieved a 70% improvement in security test coverage across global HR workflows
• Reduced the security testing cycle from 7 days to under 2 days, enabling faster go-to-market
• Enabled bi-weekly secure releases with embedded security checks in the pipeline
• Detected and remediated compliance-impacting vulnerabilities pre-release, avoiding potential penalties and audit flags
• Established consistent security governance across global offices and compliance teams
