Case Study: a HealthTech company achieves standardized security and improved visibility with StackHawk

HealthTech Company standardizes security across 5 business units with StackHawk

A healthtech company faced significant security challenges due to its rapid growth and decentralized structure. With five independent business units, security practices were inconsistent and visibility was fragmented. Their small security team was overwhelmed, relying on manual spreadsheets to track over 1,700 repositories, which created blind spots and inefficiencies. To address this, they sought a scalable solution and chose StackHawk for its automated security testing and API discovery capabilities.

By implementing StackHawk, the company integrated automated security testing directly into its CI/CD pipeline and software development lifecycle. This provided centralized visibility and control, replacing manual tracking with an automated internal database to prioritize critical repositories. The results included a dramatically improved security posture, standardized practices across all business units, and enhanced operational efficiency. StackHawk empowered the small security team to proactively manage vulnerabilities at scale, reducing risk by catching issues earlier in the development process.
