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.

- 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

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.
