Starshipit is a shipping automation platform founded in New Zealand in 2014. Designed for retailers, it simplifies and streamlines fulfilment by integrating with leading carriers and ecommerce platforms.
Starshipit powers businesses to automate shipping workflows, reduce costs, and improve tracking. The platform enhances operational efficiency and supports scalable, customer-focused delivery experiences across domestic and international markets.
THE CHALLENGE
Operating in the e-commerce and logistics sector, Starshipit requires strong security practices to ensure data protection and platform stability. The company processes large volumes of order, shipping, and customer data, making cybersecurity an absolute priority.
Under tight deadlines, which were outside of the annual testing cycle, Starshipit required penetration testing to meet the requirements of a major global online retailer. The retailer’s stipulations were vague making it difficult to know the specifics of the testing required. Close communication and guidance was essential so that if any high risk vulnerabilities were found, they could be addressed immediately.
THE SOLUTION
AMARU CREST-Approved Strike service successfully met all of Starshipit’s needs:
- AMARU were fast moving and able to start the penetration test soon after agreement sign off.
- Thanks to its collaborative methodology and real-time chat operations, AMARU maintained close communication with the team, ensuring that any potential security issues were identified and resolved.
- AMARU’S personal approach meant that a security consultant took the time to advise Starshipit on a recommended penetration testing scope which would meet the requirements of the major global retailer requesting the test.
- AMARU employed skilled penetration testers, which was evident in the high quality of their tests and reports. Being based in Auckland, their Penetration Tester was able to come to Starshipit’s site.
- Starshipit was impressed by AMARU’s collaborative work culture and client commitment. AMARU provided a structured and engaging service, keeping the team informed about each step of the process in advance.
