Background
ACME, a leading application security provider, has established itself as a trusted name in the industry through its proprietary scanner and manual penetration testing services. With a majority of its business derived from its advanced scanner, ACME offers its customers a comprehensive application that provides seamless access to security testing results. The platform also enables pentesters to upload their findings manually or in XML/JSON format, ensuring flexibility and convenience for its users.
Challenges
As ACME continued to grow, the demand for on-demand manual penetration testing services increased significantly. Despite the efficiency of its scanner, ACME faced challenges in scaling its manual pen-testing services to meet the needs of its expanding customer base.

Recognizing the need for seamless integration between the two companies, Blueinfy developed a specialized tool that converts Word reports into XML/JSON formats, enabling ACME to easily import results into its application. This tool not only streamlined the reporting process but also ensured that ACME's customers continued to receive consistent, high-quality results.
In addition to delivering accurate and detailed penetration testing reports, Blueinfy provided comprehensive support to ACME's customers. This included walkthrough calls to understand the application, as well as report readout sessions to ensure a thorough understanding of the results. Blueinfy's commitment to customer support further solidified the partnership, enhancing ACME's reputation for delivering exceptional service.
