Security 🔐 in an HR Tech Company - When and how to start?
Security in Practice 🔐: Epix's 2025 Penetration Test Results ✅
At Paybix, we’ve always believed that security isn't a milestone—it's a mindset. As we shared in our earlier article, Security in an HR Tech Company – When and How to Start, the journey towards strong security begins early and evolves continuously.
One of the concrete steps we take each year to hold ourselves accountable is an external penetration test—an in-depth assessment by ethical hackers to simulate real-world attacks and uncover any weak spots in our system.
Last year, we were already pleased with a solid report. But we didn’t take that as a sign to relax. Instead, we took it as motivation to push our standards even higher.

This year, our dedication paid off.
An Excellent Result
The 2025 penetration test has just been finalized, and the results speak for themselves:
✅ No critical, high or medium-risk findings
✅ Only 4 minor issues discovered
This outcome reflects the daily efforts of our development and infrastructure teams, who are constantly applying best practices, monitoring proactively, and thinking three steps ahead. It’s also a clear signal that our early investments in security are maturing into real, measurable results.
Looking Ahead
We know that security is never "done." New technologies, new threats, and new expectations from customers and regulators mean we must stay alert and agile. That’s why we’re continuing to:
- Embed security checks into our CI/CD pipeline
- Maintain a secure SDLC (Software Development Lifecycle)
- Collaborate with independent experts for annual audits and tests
- Educate and empower our team with security-first thinking
- The use of Aikido security as a day to day security check
We’re proud of where we are today—but even more excited about where we’re heading. Because at Epix, security is part of the product—not a feature.
If you have any questions up front, don't hesitate to contact us.
