Case Study: Pernod Ricard achieves secure code quality across 350+ e-commerce, mobile and enterprise applications with SonarSource's SonarQube

Pernod Ricard secures hundreds of e-commerce, mobile and enterprise applications with SonarQube

Pernod Ricard, a global wines and spirits group with 18,500 employees and more than 200 websites, mobile and e‑commerce apps plus 150 internal enterprise applications, needed to protect a large, outsourced codebase from data breaches and defacements and to consistently gauge code quality and security across multiple development agencies. After evaluating SAST vendors, the company chose SonarSource’s SonarQube to provide a common framework and tooling for code-quality and security assessment.

SonarSource implemented SonarQube (with SonarLint in IDEs) fully integrated into CI/CD pipelines (Bitbucket, GitLab, Azure DevOps), running more than 5,000 community-rated quality and security rules and completing analyses in minutes; developers across agencies own findings and custom Quality Gates measure new-code cleanliness. The rollout made SonarQube the accepted standard at Pernod Ricard, securing hundreds of e‑commerce and mobile applications and 150 enterprise apps with fast, repeatable code-quality and security checks.
