Case Study: Global Car Manufacturer secures sensitive data and improves code security and quality with SonarSource

Global car manufacturer secures sensitive information with Sonar solutions

Global Car Manufacturer, a Fortune 500 multinational automotive OEM, faced a critical challenge: software projects often handle highly sensitive customer and vehicle data and — with many applications moving to the public cloud — teams needed absolute assurance that code was secure and compliant before delivery. To meet this need, the company turned to SonarSource, selecting SonarQube Enterprise Edition (and SonarLint for in‑IDE scanning) to embed security checks into its development process.

SonarSource implemented SonarQube enterprise-wide, fully integrated into the DevOps tool chain and used daily by 500 developers, with SonarLint providing real‑time IDE feedback and a “Clean as you code” focus on new code. The solution enabled daily, measurable security and quality gates, gave security and IT managers clear visibility, reduced vulnerabilities found in final review, increased overall code quality and developer confidence, and improved team efficiency. SonarSource’s tools delivered concrete, organization‑wide improvements in secure software delivery.
