Case Study: DAZN Group achieves developer-driven application security and integrated SAST with Checkmarx

DAZN Group - Customer Case Study

DAZN Group, the global sports streaming company headquartered in Feltham, UK, prioritized application security to manage software exposure across its platform. To build a secure-development culture they first trained developers via a “Great E‑Learning Bakeoff,” selecting CxCodebashing for its usability and broad language coverage. With developers educated, the team sought a developer‑friendly SAST with wide language support, accuracy and customizable rules, evaluated three vendors and selected Checkmarx CxSAST.

CxSAST was deployed on AWS and integrated into DAZN’s CI/CD pipeline and with CxCodebashing, enabling in‑context, on‑demand feedback for developers and visibility for security teams. After scanning a legacy PHP codebase and tuning rules, DAZN used Checkmarx professional services for fast onboarding, authored 147 tailored secure‑coding guidelines to enforce automatically, and gained scalable, pre‑production scanning that improved developer remediation and aligned training with real findings.
