Razor's Edge: Cybersecurity platform case study by Rareloop

Background

Razorthorn Security is one of the UK’s leading cybersecurity consultancies and has been delivering expert digital security to organisations since 2007. As a forward thinking business with a culture of innovation, Razorthorn saw an opportunity to add additional value to their customers and reached out to us to help them bring their powerful security platform to life.

The problem

Cybersecurity and data breaches continue to be on the rise, with increasingly sophisticated attacks and vulnerabilities appearing all the time. As organisations rely more heavily on technology the risk associated with these breaches is only set to increase.

Traditional security testing services rely on periodic snapshots and will only report vulnerabilities for the exact moment in time that the test is carried out. A modern, dynamic and ongoing assessment approach is needed to ensure that digital assets are secure and resilient against threats, 24/7.

The Razor’s Edge platform

Razor’s Edge is an award winning, secure web-based platform that makes it easy for organisations to comprehensively perform, analyse and report on cybersecurity threats.

Aggregate security data from multiple sites and end points

Organisations typically have multiple websites, applications, databases and other end points that need to be monitored. Razor’s Edge brings all of this data into a single unified source, allowing customers to understand the cybersecurity risk profile across their entire portfolio.

Real-time alerts

Razor’s Edge is continuously scanning and assessing for threats across an organisation’s entire portfolio. When potential vulnerabilities are found it will immediately trigger an automated alert, ensuring you can take swift action to mitigate risks before they’re exploited.

Easy to use and understand for non-security experts

Razor’s Edge is designed to be simple to use, giving non-security experts quick access to the information they need to plan and act upon. The UI is intuitive and easily accessed via a web browser across a range of devices. It also features powerful grouping and filtering to enable focused reporting across different parts of an organisation’s portfolio.

Leverages digital scale and human expertise

A hybrid approach to security testing is built into the platform. Razor’s Edge can monitor and scan at digital scale, providing a continuous security testing approach. All identified vulnerabilities are then reviewed by experienced testers with additional findings added to the platform. This hybrid approach eliminates false positives ensuring that a customer focuses on genuine threats.

We engaged Rareloop to develop a web application concept. The project started with a comprehensive planning phase, during which Rareloop provided extensive visual aids, which really helped illustrate the project's scope. Over the following months, we worked together on implementing various features through a series of sprints. The deliverables met our admittedly high standards, and required minimal revisions. Rareloop established a robust foundation for our web application. Their service exceeded our expectations, culminating in a thorough handover to our newly appointed in-house developer. Rareloop really helped this transition by providing a detailed showcase of the platform and its architecture, ensuring our internal team was well equipped to maintain and further develop the application.

Stunning UI design

The user interface (UI) features a stunning dark-mode aesthetic which both matches the brand aesthetic but also reflects the premium value the platform offers, elevating it above similar software tools within the security industry.

Bespoke components were designed to quickly and simply communicate cybersecurity threats at scale and considerable care was taken to prioritise critical issues or draw attention to actions that were required.

Let's create something awesome together
