SOLUTIONS / PE & GROUP COMPANIES

Different companies.
A consistent standard of evidence.

Give portfolio and group companies a common way to examine application security while keeping local teams responsible for their products. Galen Security supports deeper reviews; Galen Policy helps preserve the approved boundaries afterward.

Available now: Galen Policy Beta and Managed Galen Security Audits. Self-service Galen Security is coming soon.

INTENDED BOUNDARY

Shared support access does not grant cross-company exports.

The issue to investigate

A shared support role is admitted to a company-specific export endpoint.

The application path grants a sensitive export without the required company boundary.

Conceptual example, not live Galen output. Recheck the actual implementation after a correction.

WHAT IS AT STAKE

A portfolio inherits code, assumptions, and uneven review practices.

An acquisition can bring unfamiliar applications, incomplete documentation, and access decisions made by people who have moved on. After the deal, group leadership still needs to understand where an issue affects sensitive data or an important business operation, and who will own the correction.

A single alert count cannot make unlike companies comparable. Different products, languages, release histories, and review scopes change what a result means. Use a consistent evidence standard instead: the version examined, the supported issue, the business boundary, the responsible owner, and the outcome after correction.

Due diligence
Identify important application risks within an agreed scope.
Local ownership
Let each company approve the rules its product needs.
Group discipline
Ask the same evidence questions across reviews.

GO DEEPER WITH AN AUDIT

Use deeper audits at the moments that change the exposure.

Galen Security can support an agreed application review before an acquisition, during a major integration, or ahead of a significant release. Findings tie the security question to code paths and controls, helping the company’s engineers understand the correction and its business consequence.

A Managed Security Audit adds Telhawk-led scoping and review when local capacity is limited or an independent engagement is useful. Agree the repositories, supported stack, access, and deliverables for each company. Retain company-specific evidence and share the agreed summary through your existing governance process.

CHECK WHILE YOU BUILD

Leave each company with a development practice it can own.

Galen Policy runs in a project’s repository, alongside the team’s existing coding workflow. Local developers review the recovered access behavior, resolve unsafe assumptions, and approve the intended baseline for their application.

Later checks help surface new grants, dropped guards, widened exposure, and ungoverned writes. Group leadership can encourage a common review discipline without pretending that every portfolio company has the same roles, data model, or policy.

Illustrative governance approach. Review and share each company’s materials within the agreed scope.

Before acquisitionUnfamiliar code hides important access assumptions.Agreed scope, reviewed version, supported findings, and evidence gaps.
After integrationShared identities or endpoints broaden access between companies.The relevant application paths and company-specific boundaries.
During ownershipA correction or later feature silently changes an approved rule.Recheck outcomes and subsequent changes against the local baseline.

A PRACTICAL STARTING POINT

One review discipline, applied company by company.

  1. 01

    Establish a baseline.

    Scope the application review and name the local technical and business owners.

  2. 02

    Agree the correction plan.

    Use supported findings to decide what changes, who owns it, and what evidence closes it.

  3. 03

    Preserve the boundary.

    Use Policy during development and deeper audits when the application or integration materially changes.

BUILD WITH BETTER EVIDENCE

Build an evidence standard your companies can use.

Discuss a scoped review approach with Telhawk, then pair deeper Galen Security audits with Policy in each team’s development workflow.
