Dipcode case study: Eliminating digital vulnerability!
As cyber threats intensified, a well-known Portuguese insurance broker, recognised for its autonomy and solid national presence, faced a challenge that is often underestimated in the business world. Some of its websites (institutional or transactional) were permanently monitored in terms of cybersecurity, while others were less monitored.
This situation represented a potential weakness in the broker’s online infrastructure, exposing it to significant security risks. Recognising the need to address this issue comprehensively, the company entrusted Dipcode, a Eurotux group company, with the mission of turning this latent vulnerability into an opportunity to strengthen and unify the broker’s online security.
Challenge: Digital footprint security
The challenge was to implement a strategy that, in addition to protecting the main sites, also extended this protection to the rest of the websites, in order to protect the company’s entire digital presence in a robust and uniform way. Given that outdated or poorly protected websites are easy targets for cyberattacks, the company could be exposed to significant reputational damage and financial losses. What’s more, in a sector as dependent on trust as insurance, any security breach could have devastating consequences for relationships with partners and customers.
It was in this context that Dipcode entered the scene with its DipGuardian solution. The proposal was simple but powerful: to provide a continuous monitoring tool that would identify vulnerabilities in real time and provide detailed reports and suggestions for improvement.
The implementation of DipGuardian was classified as fast and efficient. In just two weeks, the Dipcode team installed the solution and carried out a full audit of the broker’s websites, a step that proved crucial as it immediately identified areas of risk that had gone unnoticed.
Continuous collaboration
But Dipcode’s work didn’t end with the installation. A model of ongoing collaboration was established between the two companies. On a monthly basis, the brokerage received detailed reports on the state of its websites. More than just technical documents, these reports contained information that highlighted areas of concern and suggested concrete actions.
What’s more, regular meetings were scheduled throughout the year. In these sessions, Dipcode experts and the broker’s IT team discuss the most relevant points, define priorities and plan interventions. This collaborative approach ensures that the broker’s digital security is constantly evolving, adapting to new threats in the cyber landscape.
More security, more business guarantees
The benefits of this partnership quickly became apparent. The brokerage gained a new layer of protection against threats and its websites began to receive regular updates, eliminating potential security breaches before they could be exploited.
However, perhaps the most significant gain was the peace of mind provided to the broker’s teams. Knowing that a specialised team was monitoring and protecting their digital assets, they could focus on their core business with the confidence that their online presence was secure.
The case of this partnership between this insurance broker and Dipcode is a perfect example of how technology, when applied intelligently and strategically, can turn a possible threat into a strength for the business. More than a simple software implementation, it was a partnership that raised the company’s digital security standards, protecting not only its assets crucial to operational functioning, but also its reputation and business relationships.
In a minute:
Challenge: A Portuguese insurance broker identified a weakness in its websites, potentially exposing it to possible cyber-attacks.
Solution: Dipcode implemented DipGuardian, a cybersecurity monitoring tool that identifies vulnerabilities and applies remediation measures in real time.
Results: The brokerage firm was able to create a uniform security posture across its entire digital presence, increasing trust with partners and clients.
Benefits: Greater protection against cyber-attacks, peace of mind for management and strengthening of the company’s reputation in the market, where trust is essential.
