Securing The Best Payment Gateway in the Philippines - Dragonpay Case Study

by AJ Dumanhug

Dragonpay is the pioneer in alternative online payments in the Philippines giving access to customers to purchase goods or services online and pay for them using cash at physical, brick-and-mortar payment counters, ATMs, mobile wallets, or through online bank debit. Today, Dragonpay has processed over 100 million online transactions for Filipinos globally.

Since its founding in 2010, Dragonpay’s mission is to provide a more secure yet easily available e-commerce payment channel for the broad market.

Currently, they want to:

  • maintain their commitment to have a secure solution
  • get tested and certified by DICT-recognized cybersecurity assessment company
  • identify if they are vulnerable to cyber attacks and exploits

After searching around for a penetration testing service provider, Dragonpay reached out to Secuna after a friend recommended its services. They talked to other local and foreign vendors but they decided to move forward with Secuna because of its reputation in the startup community and its recognition from DICT.

Secuna, a DICT-recognized cybersecurity assessment provider, helps ensure that any organization has their assets protected from potential cybersecurity issues and data breaches with service rates that are very equitable.

Secuna provided a Web Application Penetration Testing service to thoroughly assess the security of Dragonpay’s website application.

After a month of thorough penetration testing, 17 unique security vulnerabilities were reported, validated, and resolved. Three of which were found that had a severity score of higher than 7.0 in reference to Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS).

Dragonpay team is very happy with the results and they would engage with Secuna again for future cybersecurity needs.

"We're very happy with the results. The service was very friendly and helpful."
– Robertson “Dick” Chiang, Founder and COO/CTO of Dragonpay Corporation
