Case Study: PhonePe achieves business‑driven vulnerability prioritization to protect critical applications with Brinqa's Exposure Assessment Platform

PhonePe Protects its Critical Applications from Vulnerability Risk Exposure with Custom Risk Scoring and Prioritization

PhonePe, a leading Indian financial services company serving 600 million registered users and processing around 270 million daily transactions, needed to strengthen security across multiple customer‑facing applications. Its legacy homegrown asset management and Jira CMDB lacked business context and left critical vulnerabilities unprioritized, so PhonePe engaged Brinqa and deployed the Brinqa Exposure Assessment Platform to bring business‑driven risk scoring into its application security program.

Working with Brinqa, PhonePe implemented a unified risk analytics platform and the POD Security Score (PSS) to combine technical findings with application criticality, integrate data from static code analysis, penetration tests and custom scanners, and add SLA tracking and remediation guidance. Brinqa’s solution delivered interactive dashboards, improved collaboration between security, development and business owners, better prioritization of fixes aligned to business impact, and an overall stronger, more proactive security posture that reduced the likelihood of breaches across PhonePe’s critical services.
