Key Outcome

Identified full codebase exposure and implemented all necessary guardrails immediately.

  • Full exposure identified
  • Guardrails implemented in days
  • Zero exploitation

A technology SaaS company had spent four years building their platform. Their engineering team had shipped features, iterated on architecture, and grown their codebase. Then they discovered the unthinkable: their entire code had been exposed.

The Challenge

The exposure went unnoticed until it was too late. Proprietary logic, API keys, and internal configurations were potentially accessible. The team had no visibility into what was exposed, where, or for how long. They needed to understand the scope and lock down everything, fast.

The Solution

Preservers was brought in to assess the attack surface and identify all exposures. The platform mapped their external footprint, discovered the exposed assets, and provided a clear remediation path. Working with the Preservers team, they implemented all necessary guardrails: access controls, exposure removal, and continuous monitoring to prevent recurrence.

The Results

Preservers identified the full scope of the exposure and enabled immediate action. All necessary guardrails were implemented within days. The company avoided exploitation and gained ongoing visibility to ensure nothing slipped through again.
