Consult Our ExpertsApplication Security Concerns
Nature Positive required end-to-end product security for their SDG IQ tool, which tracks client performance against the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The platform provides visibility into direct, upstream, and downstream operations related to sustainability impact. As the application was publicly accessible, security risks were a key concern, requiring strong protection of online data.
Our Process
Step 1
Implemented integrated security controls across the application architecture
Step 2
Conducted threat modelling to identify design shortcomings at early stage
Step 3
Performed secured code review, static application analysis, and software composition analysis
Step 4
Executed penetration testing using grey box and white box testing approaches
Project Challenges
Public Application Exposure
The SDG IQ platform was publicly facing, increasing its exposure to external threats and requiring comprehensive security testing.
End-to-End Product Security
Ensuring consistent security across the secured SDLC while protecting online data required multiple layers of assessment and validation.
Our Development Journey
We provided Nature Positive with a holistic product security approach aligned with secured SDLC practices. The engagement focused on embedding security into the application architecture, identifying design gaps early through threat modelling, and validating security through multiple testing and analysis techniques.
Results
Implemented product security controls across the platform
Strengthened security for a publicly accessible application
