Case Study: FinTech Leader secures Fortune 100 customers by shifting security left with StackHawk

FinTech Leader Secures Fortune 100 Customers by Shifting Security Left

FinTech Leader, a UK-based financial services innovator with 200+ services and 1,000+ code releases per month, faced an unsustainable AppSec challenge: a five-person team couldn’t scale security across 250 developers and 50 teams using a brittle legacy DAST. To address this gap and meet stringent client requirements, they evaluated and selected StackHawk’s modern API security platform, leveraging automated authenticated scanning and developer-friendly integrations like GitHub Actions to shift testing left.

StackHawk implemented a developer-first solution—configuration-as-code scans, comprehensive REST/GraphQL/gRPC support, onsite training, and ongoing implementation support—so API testing runs throughout the SDLC. As a result, StackHawk became part of FinTech Leader’s standard workflow, empowered developers to own security, and enabled the company to meet Fortune 100 security expectations, unlocking new business opportunities while securing its 200+ services and 1,000+ monthly releases.
