As a behavioral intelligence platform helping sales teams decode buyer intent, Substrata operates in a high-trust, high-risk environment. With sensitive customer data and real-time behavioral analytics at the core of its product, security is more than just a checklist—it’s a competitive necessity.
To proactively identify potential vulnerabilities and validate the strength of its defenses, Substrata partnered with Axipro to conduct a greybox penetration test.
Challenge
Substrata needed a realistic, deep-dive evaluation of its platform security-not a surface-level scan. The goal was to test from the perspective of an attacker with partial internal knowledge (like user credentials or application behavior patterns), simulating what a real-world threat actor might achieve with limited access.
The key objectives of the engagement were:
- Identify vulnerabilities across the platform’s infrastructure and application layers
- Improve security posture before scaling to more enterprise clients
- Validate existing controls through targeted, expert-led testing
- Prioritize remediation efforts based on exploitability and business impact
The Approach
Axipro delivered a greybox penetration test tailored specifically to Substrata’s architecture and risk profile.
This included:
- Controlled access to simulate insider-like knowledge
- Manual and automated testing methodologies
- Exploitation attempts based on real-world threat models
- Clear mapping of findings to impact, likelihood, and recommended actions
What made this engagement stand out was Axipro’s methodical communication and collaboration throughout the process, ensuring Substrata remained informed, confident, and prepared at every stage.

Results & Impact
At the conclusion of the engagement, Substrata received:
- A detailed, prioritized report outlining vulnerabilities and attack vectors
- A tailored remediation roadmap to strengthen defenses effectively
- Validation of existing security controls—what’s working, and where to improve
- Renewed confidence in their platform’s ability to withstand evolving threats
Beyond meeting technical objectives, the test provided Substrata with a strategic security advantage as they continue to grow in an increasingly competitive and regulated market.
