Case Study: HDI Global SE achieves measurable risk reduction and automated software security with Veracode

How HDI Global SE Excels at Security Innovation Initiative

HDI Global SE, a Hannover-based international commercial and specialty insurer, needed to move security earlier into its software development lifecycle to meet evolving regulations and keep innovation agile. The company found its previous application security vendor lacking in reporting and automation, and set a goal to make security measurable, integrated, and scalable across development teams.

HDI partnered with Veracode (Static Analysis and Software Composition Analysis), onboarded applications, set policies and dashboards, ran workshops, and built security champions to embed scanning into IDEs and pipelines. In one year they increased monthly closed findings by 44% and monthly apps scanned by over 400%, gaining the visibility and automated processes to track progress, reduce risk, and prepare to roll out AI-assisted fixes.
