Case study > Public > Application and Infrastructure Cybersecurity Readiness for Polish Development Fund
Edge One Solutions supported Polish Development Fund in adapting its applications, infrastructure, and organizational processes to growing cybersecurity regulatory requirements. The project included gap analysis, preparation for NIS2 implementation, documentation structuring, implementation of security standards, development of SSDLC processes, and strengthening Governance, Risk & Compliance.
Polish Development Fund needed to adapt its applications, infrastructure, and organizational processes to growing cybersecurity regulatory requirements. The challenge was not limited to technical system protection — it also required structuring processes, documentation, and risk management principles.
The project involved preparing the organization for requirements related to the NIS2 Directive, ISO 27001/27002, KSC, and KRI. Another important challenge was verifying the security of existing projects and ensuring compliance in the area of Governance, Risk & Compliance.
An additional area was reducing technical debt and increasing the maturity of cybersecurity processes. In practice, this required application reviews, implementation of SSDLC standards, process structuring, and preparation of mechanisms supporting business continuity and incident handling.
Edge One Solutions supported Polish Development Fund in cybersecurity, compliance, documentation, application reviews, and the preparation of processes aligned with regulatory requirements.
The scope of work included:
• cybersecurity and compliance gap analysis,
• consulting related to preparation for NIS2 implementation,
• development of a process and infrastructure adaptation plan,
• application security reviews based on OWASP and SANS,
• support for Governance, Risk & Compliance,
• development and implementation of security policies,
• preparation of incident handling procedures,
• development of business continuity and disaster recovery plans,
• implementation of a full SSDLC process,
• standardization of code review processes,
• support for application and environment hardening,
• organization of documentation in line with NIS2, ISO 27001/27002, and ISO 22301 requirements.
The Edge1S team prepared the Polish Development Fund for the implementation of the NIS2 Directive by conducting gap analyses, consulting, and developing a process and infrastructure adaptation plan.
Application and system security was enhanced through OWASP- and SANS-compliant reviews, and security policies, incident handling procedures, and business continuity plans (BCP/DRP) were implemented.
Additionally, a full SSDLC cycle was implemented, including data encryption, session protection, API security, and standardized code review and hardening processes. Documentation was structured in accordance with NIS2, ISO 27001/27002, and ISO 22301 requirements.
Public and financial organizations operate in an environment where cybersecurity is not only a technical matter, but also a regulatory, organizational, and operational requirement. Standards and regulations such as NIS2, KSC, KRI, and ISO require a consistent approach to application security, infrastructure, processes, documentation, and risk management.
In practice, this means combining technical work with Governance, Risk & Compliance. Application modernization alone is not enough if the organization lacks incident handling procedures, business continuity plans, code review standards, hardening rules, and a secure software development lifecycle.
Projects like this show that effective preparation for cybersecurity requirements requires cooperation between technology, security, compliance, and management teams. Edge One Solutions supports these areas by combining software development, infrastructure, QA, DevOps, and cybersecurity governance expertise.
