Habitat For Humanity: The Case Study

About Habitat For Humanity

When Habitat For Humanity 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."
