## About Habitat For Humanity

When [Habitat For Humanity](https://habitat.ca/en) engaged Packetlabs, their team wasn’t asking for another vulnerability report: they wanted action that went beyond checkbox findings.

Following indicators of prior exposure and the need to ensure top-of-the-line security, SaaS sprawl mitigation, and legacy system protection, their team’s aim was to understand the following: _How close are we to a material cyber incident, and what would it mean for our mission?_

## Primary Objective

The objective of the engagement was to validate whether Habitat For Humanity’s existing security posture could withstand a realistic attack without suffering operational, financial, or reputational harm.

Packetlabs's engagement sought to:

*   Determine whether identity and SaaS environments could be abused to access sensitive systems
    
*   Identify attack paths that could lead to donor data exposure, financial compromise, or ransomware
    
*   Demonstrate business impact in terms leadership could immediately understand
    
*   Enable leadership to prioritize remediation based on risk to the mission, not technical severity scores
    
*   Provide validation through a complimentary six-month retest to confirm measurable improvement
    

## Results

Packetlabs helps organizations move from reactive security to proactive risk reduction by validating real-world attack paths.

If your organization can’t clearly answer how an attacker would compromise your most critical systems, it’s time to find out before they do.

> “We’d previously used an insurance-provided service that ran an automated scan and delivered a short report. Packetlabs was on a completely different level: the depth of manual testing and the clarity around attack paths and remediation were unlike anything we’d seen."
