Redcliffe Labs, a purpose-driven pan-India omnichannel service provider works progressively to give India its right to quality diagnostics. Its services are available in 220+ cities across India through its network of 80+ advanced labs powered by 2000+ collection centers and home collection services, serving masses in tier 1, 2, and 3 cities, and beyond. The omnichannel service provider is equipped with advanced equipment and modern technology to ensure 100% Report Correctness.

While Redcliffe Labs is focused on its application development and faster go-to-market strategies through the use of Google Cloud, they are equally concerned about data privacy, ensuring reliable consumer services. In a detailed analysis, the Searce team found that although Redcliffe Labs were taking enough initiatives to maintain data privacy and to enhance end-to-end encryption further, we identified a few more areas to improve from an overall security perspective:

• Security Monitoring and Threat Detection: Achieve real-time visibility across all cloud resources and services, correlation of threats/anomalies, ensuring continuous monitoring and rapid threat detection. Identifying and prioritizing vulnerabilities across a diverse range of cloud services and applications.
• Compliance Management: Ensuring secure configuration and maintaining compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.
• WebApplication Protection: Effectively configuring and managing the WAF to protect their web applications, protect against emerging web-based attacks, and fine-tune WAF rules to avoid false positives and false negatives.

Searce Solution

Searce utilized Google's Security Command Center (SCC) and Google Cloud Armor to provide comprehensive security by enabling real-time threat detection, continuous monitoring, and robust protection against web-based attacks. Our team of solvers empowered our client to ensure:
