CASE STUDY: Automating DevOps Security Clearance Go-Live Process at a Leading Insurance Company in India

/

Background A prominent Indian insurance company faced delays in launching critical business applications due to inefficient security clearance processes. Despite having multiple security and application teams in place, the DevOps Go-Live timelines were frequently missed—causing reputational risks and operational delays. 🚨 Pain Points The root causes behind the delay in the security clearance process included: Problem Area Description 🧩 Lack of Coordination Application, Infrastructure, and InfoSec teams worked in silos 📆 Poor Planning Security assessments were not initiated early in the release cycle 📢 Communication Gaps Infosec managers lacked timely updates on closure of critical risks 👁️ Visibility Management did not have a single view of security posture across applications ✅ Our Solution We implemented a centralized, automated platform to streamline the DevOps security Go-Live process and improve collaboration across teams. 🧠 “The objective was simple: Remove guesswork, automate workflows, and provide real-time risk visibility to decision-makers.” Key Features Implemented: Feature Benefit 🔁 Automated Workflows End-to-end orchestration of Go-Live approvals 🤝 Pre-Go-Live Readiness Application teams prompted to initiate timely security processes 🧪 Integrated Scanner Reports Security team could auto-fetch vulnerabilities and publish reports ⏱️ Custom SLA & Escalations Defined by business criticality to ensure closure of vulnerabilities 📊 Real-time Dashboards CISO and management gained a consolidated risk visibility 📈 Measurable Impact After deployment, the insurer observed the following results within 60 days: Metric Before Automation After Automation ⌛ Avg. Time to Go-Live 23 days post-code freeze 8 days post-code freeze 📉 Missed Go-Live Deadlines 40% of releases <5% of releases 📬 Manual Email Follow-ups 15+ per release 0 (automated alerts triggered) 🔐 Untracked Vulnerabilities 20+ open past SLA Reduced to 2, all tracked via dashboard 👥 Stakeholder Satisfaction Low (multiple escalations) High (single-pane visibility) Final Thoughts This project illustrates the power of automation in security clearance and compliance readiness. With reduced manual dependencies and increased visibility, the client not only achieved faster Go-Live timelines but also ensured that risks were mitigated systematically. 💬 Client Testimonial “Our Go-Live process used to feel like a never-ending process—now, it’s a well-lit, monitored tunnel. We’ve never been this confident about security timelines.”— CISO, Leading Insurance Company 🧠 Interested in Automating Your DevOps Go-Live Security Process? 📩 Let’s Talk — Schedule a 15-min demo with our team and learn how you can replicate this success.
