Case Study: Athumi scales secure, developer-first data governance with Aikido

How Athumi brings dev-first security to government & beyond

Athumi, a data intermediary enabling secure data exchange for the Flemish government and private organizations in Belgium, faced significant security challenges. Their decentralized development teams operated with fragmented pipelines, leading to compliance overhead, a lack of visibility for leadership, and developers who were often disconnected from security risks. To scale its security maturity and maintain the highest levels of trust, Athumi turned to the security platform Aikido.

Aikido provided a flexible, developer-first solution that integrated seamlessly into Athumi's existing CI/CD workflows without being intrusive. The platform delivered immediate value with fast insights, on-the-job feedback for developers, and automated security checks. This partnership helped Athumi make security a core habit, drastically improving vulnerability remediation and audit readiness, while also providing the necessary tools to support their pursuit of ISO certification and demonstrate security maturity effortlessly.
