Project Summary

Codeglo Tech & Marketing was hired to perform a security audit on a global software company's website; their role expanded to include development, ongoing maintenance, and QA testing. The vendor manages server and application-level changes, uses AWS EC2 infrastructure with redundancy, Joomla CMS and MySQL, and CloudFlare for CDN and firewall. The client reports increased site metrics and values the team's responsiveness and flexibility, though sustained high task volumes have strained pace and quality at times.

Key Challenges

  • Global website required ongoing maintenance and localization
  • Site had been hacked multiple times and required a full security audit and remediation
  • Need to maintain site security, development, and QA under a high-volume task load

Project Deliverables

  • Full security audit
  • Ongoing website maintenance
  • Development and QA
  • AWS EC2 server infrastructure with redundancy and load balancers
  • Joomla CMS implementation
  • MySQL database
  • CloudFlare CDN and firewall

Project Solution

The engagement began with a full security audit, which the vendor performed and handed off recommended changes to the client's development/IT teams. Over time the vendor provided ongoing development, QA, and site maintenance. They managed server-level architecture on AWS EC2 with redundancy and load balancers, implemented the site on Joomla with a MySQL database, and used CloudFlare for CDN and firewall protection. Project communication used Jira and Slack, with a dedicated project manager coordinating weekly meetings with the client.

Project Outcome

  • Increased website metrics as measured in Google Analytics
  • Proper subdomain testing and configuration
  • Responsive and flexible support including weekend work
  • Ability to scale resources quickly under demand
  • Continued quality challenges under high task load
