Case Study: Smarsh achieves faster remediation and a stronger security posture with Cobalt

How Cobalt helped Smarsh achieve faster time to remediation and a stronger security posture

Smarsh, a global leader in electronic communications archiving for regulated industries, needed to prove its own security and compliance to customers but faced limited risk visibility, slow pentesting cycles, and insufficient reporting. To address these challenges, Smarsh engaged Cobalt and adopted Cobalt’s Pentest as a Service (PtaaS) to accelerate assessments and improve transparency.

Cobalt launched the engagement in just a few days, provided real-time updates via Slack, and integrated findings into Smarsh’s Jira workflows so fixes could be retested immediately. As a result, Smarsh achieved faster remediation and development cycles, greater visibility into product risks, cost and time savings, and an improved overall security posture thanks to Cobalt’s platform and expert pentesters.
