Case Study: Change.org improves security posture and reduces vulnerabilities with StackHawk

Change.org cuts vulnerabilities and speeds remediation with StackHawk

Change.org, a nonprofit-owned public benefit corporation, needed to formalize its security processes to protect its platform and the sensitive data of its millions of users. Their previous approach was inconsistent, with individual engineers handling security in isolation. To improve their security posture at scale, they sought a solution and partnered with StackHawk.

By integrating StackHawk's Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) solution, Change.org enabled developers to find and fix vulnerabilities before deployment. This shift-left approach drastically cut down on vulnerabilities across their website and backend. The results for Change.org included a significant decrease in vulnerabilities and faster remediation times, which strengthened protection for their users and maintained trust in their platform.
