Case Studies

Real work, real outcomes

From building security programs that enable national partnerships to founding products that get acquired — here's what our engineers have done.

Case Study

From founding engineer to acquisition

Client

Breez Security

Sector

Identity security (ITDR)

Engagement

Founding engineer + security

Outcome

Acquired by JumpCloud (Oct 2025)

The Challenge

Breez Security set out to solve a hard problem in identity security: accurately tracing and attributing cloud actions to their originating parties — including cross-account scenarios. As an early-stage startup building an Identity Threat Detection, Investigation and Response (ITDR) platform, they needed engineers who could build the product from zero while simultaneously standing up the company's own security posture.

What We Did

Oblak Solutions engineers were founding team members — building the core product and managing security:

  • 1Founding engineer; led the product from inception through Seed-round funding.
  • 2Architected and built a novel identity-attribution system in AWS that links user actions to specific identities, including cross-account scenarios — the first product to accurately trace and attribute cloud actions to their originating parties.
  • 3Partnered with product and engineering to define requirements, design scalable solutions, and integrate the system; drove testing, optimization, and technical decision-making.
  • 4Managed the company's security program alongside product engineering — securing the platform while building it.

The Outcome

In October 2025, JumpCloud acquired Breez Security to accelerate its security roadmap and enhance its Identity Threat Detection and Response capabilities. JumpCloud's CTO called the Breez team "some of the most brilliant and forward-thinking minds in identity security." The identity-attribution system our engineers architected and built became a key part of the acquisition value.

Highlights

Acquired

By JumpCloud, October 2025

Founding

Engineer from inception through Seed round

First

Product to accurately attribute cross-account cloud actions to identities

Dual role

Built the product and managed the security program

Bottom line

Oblak engineers built the core product that led to a successful acquisition by JumpCloud — while simultaneously running the company's security. That's the depth of talent we embed with every client.

Case Study

From startup to national scale

Client

K-8 literacy ed-tech (nonprofit)

Sector

K-8 education technology

Engagement

3-year managed program

Team

4-engineer embedded team

The Challenge

A breakthrough digital reading tool used in pilots with 50,000 K-8 students — a population of minors whose data carries the strictest privacy obligations in the sector (FERPA, COPPA, and state laws such as SOPIPA). As a fast-moving nonprofit, the client needed an in-house security function, yet faced district procurement reviews, data-protection agreements, and the security due diligence that any serious strategic partner would demand. They needed a complete security program — not a single hire.

What We Did

Oblak Solutions embedded a four-engineer security team and ran the entire program end to end:

  • 1Application security: SAST and SCA pipelines integrated into CI/CD to catch vulnerabilities before release.
  • 2Threat modeling: systematic review of the product and data flows handling children's literacy data.
  • 3Logging & detection: centralized logging pipelines for monitoring, audit, and incident evidence.
  • 4Incident response: IR planning, runbooks, and readiness aligned to breach-notification timelines.
  • 5IT & security operations: hardened internal systems, access control, and vendor/data governance.
  • 6Compliance posture: security practices mapped to FERPA, COPPA, and state student-privacy requirements.

The Outcome

The client announced a partnership with a leading curriculum provider serving 4.8 million students — embedding their reading tool across K-8 English Language Arts. A partnership at that scale only proceeds on a foundation of demonstrable security and data-protection maturity. The program Oblak Solutions built carried the client from early pilots through national scale, with its security posture standing up to the scrutiny that comes with it.

By the numbers

3 years

Continuous engagement

4 engineers

Embedded security team

6 domains

AppSec, IR, compliance, detection, IT, architecture

4.8M students

Reached through the resulting partnership

50,000

Students in initial pilot programs

Bottom line

A full, senior security team — application security, compliance, and incident response — at a fraction of the cost of building one in-house, and a posture strong enough to win district deals and survive partner due diligence.
