About Sidekick

Sidekick is a security consulting firm that focuses on developing tailored security programs that align with business objectives, enabling innovation while proactively addressing evolving threats. 

The Challenge: 

Sidekick aimed to deliver maximum value in every security assessment. While Security Design Reviews (SDRs) were essential for identifying design-level vulnerabilities, performing them manually for every assessment created several challenges:

  • Time Constraints: Manual SDRs were labor-intensive, often leading to schedule overruns in time-boxed projects.

  • Cost Risks: Extended effort increased project costs for both clients and internal teams.

  • Quality vs. Efficiency: Skipping SDRs may have saved time, but risked missing critical design flaws.

  • Client Awareness: Without SDRs, clients did not always fully recognize the importance of design-level security, reducing perceived value.

Sidekick needed a solution that balanced speed, coverage, and quality.

The Solution: Automated Security Design Reviews with Seezo

Sidekick integrated Seezo SDR assessments into all relevant customer engagements. The key benefits included:

  • Fast, Head-Start Reviews: Assessors received pre-analyzed reports in minutes, reducing days of manual work.

  • Comprehensive Risk Coverage: Every assessment included design flaw detection, ensuring 100% coverage.

  • Seamless Client Reporting: Seezo delivered all critical findings in a 1-click download, simplifying communication with clients.

  • Improved Resource Allocation: Assessors could focus on higher-impact tasks, such as in-depth remediation guidance, while Seezo automated initial reviews.

The Impact

  • 3x Faster Reviews: Security Design Reviews that previously took days of manual effort were completed in minutes, giving assessors a significant head start.

  • 100% Coverage: Design flaws were consistently detected across all assessments, ensuring no critical issues were overlooked.

  • 1-Click Reporting: All key findings were delivered in a single downloadable report, streamlining client communication and decision-making.

Why It Matters

With Seezo, Sidekick freed up security assessor resources to focus on high-impact tasks like in-depth analysis and remediation guidance, improving efficiency and delivering greater value to clients.
