Case Study: Securing a Web Platform for Sensitive Data Collection
Client: Anonymous
Industry: Secure Keycard Manufacturing
Challenge: Secure collection and handling of personal data in a web-based platform
Engagement Type: Penetration Testing

Overview
A large card manufacturing and personalization bureau in the Philippines engaged VEKTOR to assess and secure a web platform used for collecting and encoding sensitive personal data onto smart cards. With over 100 million users across sectors, the platform required rock-solid security before going live.
​
Objective
To identify and remediate vulnerabilities in the customer-facing interface that could expose personal data or compromise operations.
​
Approach
VEKTOR conducted a full Black Box Penetration Test following the OWASP Testing Guide, including:
​
-
OSINT-driven reconnaissance of the platform
-
Passive and active vulnerability scans
-
Controlled simulated attacks on the live environment to assess exploitability
​
Outcome
A detailed penetration test report outlined:
​
-
Security gaps in configuration and coding
-
Clear remediation guidance
-
Proof-of-concept evidence where applicable
​
All recommendations were implemented prior to platform launch, giving PSSIC the assurance of a hardened and compliant system.
​
"VEKTOR’s testing gave us confidence that our platform could withstand real-world threats before we went live.”
