Case study

Commanding Risk with ASPM Precision

Real-Time Application Security and Cloud Risk Control with Zero Noise

Capco, a Wipro company, is a global technology and management consultancy firm enabling major financial services and energy sectors clients with their digital transformation agenda. With client trust on the line, an expanding digital risk landscape and finite headcount, they needed to bolster their vulnerability management strategy, demonstrate maturity and significantly drive down risk.

Phoenix Security & Capco Challenge

Challenge

Noise, Context Gaps & Resource Constraints

1. Scope Creep in Vulnerability Flow

Capco needed tighter control over which vulnerabilities reached which teams. Legacy tools flooded engineering backlogs with raw findings—creating friction and fatigue. Their goal was clear: deliver only high-risk, contextualized issues to the right people.

2. Risk-Based Demonstration, Not Just Compliance

Clients demanded more than compliance checklists—they wanted proof of real security maturity. Capco required a platform that communicated strength without exposing architectural or tooling details.

3. Dual Surface Complexity

AppSec and cloud misconfigurations often appeared in isolation. Capco needed unified visibility—a truly integrated code-to-cloud security posture.

4. Efficiency Without Expansion

With a flat team size, Capco couldn’t increase operational load. Efficiency had to scale—without scaling headcount.

Phoenix Security Impact

1. Targeted Risk Flow Control

Phoenix ASPM empowered Capco’s security team to define risk thresholds, streamline vulnerability intake, and eliminate noise at the source. Engineering teams only receive relevant and actionable vulnerabilities. This preserved developer trust and accelerated DevSecOps collaboration.

2. Narrative-Driven Security

By enabling precision SLAs and reporting across both AppSec and CSPM (Cloud Security Posture Management) dimensions, Capco could craft a security narrative that resonated with external clients and internal auditors alike. They owned the risk story—down to which controls mattered most.

3. Unified Visibility Across Cloud and Application Stack

Aggregating and correlating findings from static, dynamic and container scanning tools, to cloud misconfiguration signals, business-impacting risks were now surfaced through a single interface. This code-to-cloud security alignment gave Capco a more comprehensive view of their attack surface and true risks.

4. Real-Time Remediation Intelligence

Capco prioritized vulnerabilities dynamically using risk scoring tied to asset criticality. Vulnerabilities tied to ephemeral workloads, deprecated containers, or non-production systems were suppressed, reducing the operational noise and improving focus on remediation actions.

Outcomes Delivered

Phoenix Security & Capco Solution

The Capco Perspective

“Phoenix Security combines AppSec and CSPM like no other. We see the true risk to our business, not just a pile of findings. What’s unique is—they’ve lived this life. They know what hurts and fix it fast.”
