🔐 Voland – Salesforce Security Assurance

🔍 Security Review: Voland – Web Application Security Engagement

‍

During our engagement with Voland, the security team delivered a comprehensive and high-impact penetration testing and vulnerability assessment service that significantly enhanced the organization’s security posture — particularly around its Salesforce-based web application.

🛡️ 1. Salesforce Web Application Penetration Testing

Voland’s engagement began with a thorough evaluation of its Salesforce environment, a core component of their customer-facing infrastructure. The security consultants:

• Conducted manual and automated penetration tests tailored to the complexities of Salesforce’s architecture.
• Identified critical security flaws, including access control weaknesses, insecure configurations, and potential data leakage vectors.
• Delivered a detailed, prioritized vulnerability report with actionable remediation steps, allowing Voland’s technical teams to swiftly address high-risk issues.

This assessment not only helped close security gaps but also laid the groundwork for ongoing application hardening.

🧪 2. Rigorous Testing Methodologies

The testing team deployed a blend of manual techniques and automated toolsets (including Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, and custom scripts) to:

• Simulate real-world attack scenarios
• Identify vulnerabilities across the OWASP Top 10, including:
  • Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
  • Broken Access Control
  • Insecure Deserialization
  • Security Misconfiguration
  • Malicious File Uploads
  • CAPTCHA ByPass

• Validate findings through controlled exploitation, ensuring zero false positives and meaningful results

The depth of testing showcased a strong understanding of modern web application attack surfaces, especially within complex platforms like Salesforce.

🎓 3. Training & Security Culture Development

Beyond technical testing, the team provided hands-on training and strategic guidance to internal development, QA, and operations teams. These sessions focused on:

• Explaining the OWASP Top 10 in the context of Voland’s tech stack
• Demonstrating secure coding principles
• Promoting early-stage threat modeling and secure SDLC practices

As a result, Voland experienced a notable uplift in internal security awareness. Developers were more confident identifying and mitigating risks earlier in the development cycle — a key step toward long-term risk reduction.

✅ Conclusion

The engagement with Voland stands out as a model of effective application security consulting. By combining deep technical testing, contextual remediation guidance, and strategic training, our team helped transform Voland’s reactive approach to one that is proactive, informed, and resilient.

Voland’s leadership now considers us a strategic asset, not just a compliance checkbox.
