Case Study: Third-largest regional ICT company completes 8M-line multi-language code quality & security review in 20 days with Checkmarx CxSAST

ICT Company - Customer Case Study

A wholly owned subsidiary of a top‑10 IT service provider and the third largest ICT company in its region was engaged to perform a rapid, comprehensive Code Quality Review for a State Government Statutory Authority. The scope covered 30 systems across multiple hardware platforms, seven programming languages and nearly 8 million lines of code plus more than 200 supporting technical documents — all to be assessed for reliability, efficiency, security and maintainability by a three‑person team in 20 working days under strict non‑networked security constraints.

The team selected Checkmarx CxSAST for its broad language support, prebuilt queries mapped to the assessment criteria, ease of deployment and fast scan performance; scans were run on a standalone laptop and produced reports within hours. Using CxSAST they completed the required scans and delivered a comprehensive findings report on schedule, identifying thousands of potential vulnerabilities, instances of poor or dead code and maintainability issues — outcomes other tools could not have delivered out of the box.
