đ Case Study: Protecting a Multi-City Healthcare Network from Ransomware and Compliance Failure
Client: LearnLogic Technologies Pvt. Ltd.
Industry: EdTech (SaaS-based Learning Management System)
Location: Hyderabad, India
Service Duration: 6 Weeks
Services: Web Application Penetration Testing, API Security, DevSecOps Integration, Compliance Alignment (ISO 27001)
The Situation
LearnLogic Technologies, an emerging player in the Indian EdTech space, provides a cloud-based Learning Management System (LMS) used by over 200 schools and coaching centers. Following a recent partnership with a national education chain, their daily user load tripled almost overnight.
This sudden spike in traffic raised concerns about application security, data exposure, and server reliability. Their LMS stored student performance data, uploaded homework, school analytics, and video lectures. However, the backend APIs lacked proper authentication controls, and the DevOps pipeline didnât have any security gates.
The CTO contacted us after a major Indian competitor faced a data breach that made national headlines. Their priority: secure the platform fast without disrupting the academic calendar or delaying product updates.
Our Engagement
We initiated a rapid penetration testing sprint on both the frontend LMS and the backend RESTful APIs. Within days, our team discovered several critical issues: unsecured direct object references (IDOR), token reuse vulnerabilities, weak session expiration policies, and misconfigured access roles for school admins.
To protect user data in real-time, we deployed a Web Application Firewall (WAF) and created IP-based access rules for sensitive administrative panels. We also integrated DevSecOps tooling into their CI/CD pipelines, enabling automated vulnerability scanning for every code push.
On the compliance front, we guided their internal IT team to align key processes with ISO 27001 standards, including asset classification, secure coding documentation, and data retention policies. This greatly increased their credibility with institutional clients.
The Results
Within just six weeks, LearnLogic had a significantly hardened platform. Their post-deployment bug count dropped by 68%, and unauthorized access attempts were blocked at the edge. More importantly, the company gained enough security maturity to pitch to international education partners, opening the door to expansion in the UAE and Singapore.
Their internal teamâpreviously reliant on reactive patchingâwas now able to identify and fix vulnerabilities pre-release, thanks to the security checks we embedded into their development lifecycle.
What the Client Said
âYour team gave us more than protectionâyou gave us confidence. We were scaling without structure, and now we have guardrails without friction. Thatâs rare in fast-moving tech.â
