From Insecure Brochure-Site to Secure, Enterprise-Grade Digital Platform for an Automotive Tier-1 Vendor

A Tier-1 automotive vendor with over ₹100 crore in revenue needed more than just a facelift — their outdated, insecure website was eroding trust with global OEMs. We rebuilt their digital presence from the ground up using Next.js, secure private infra, and a multi-tenant CMS SaaS, aligning the platform with ISO policy controls and delivering a branded, enterprise-grade experience. The result: a compliant, performant site that reinforced stakeholder confidence, improved SEO, and positioned the company as a trusted global partner.

Client Context

A Tier-1 automotive manufacturing vendor (₹100+ crore revenue) needed a modern, enterprise-grade digital presence that matched their supply-chain credibility with global OEMs. Their existing website was insecure, slow, and outdated, undercutting brand trust and compliance posture.

Challenge

  • Brand & Sales Risk: A dated, non-responsive site undermined meetings with OEM procurement and quality teams.
  • Security & Compliance Exposure: No clear alignment with ISO policies, weak access controls, missing audit trails.
  • Operational Rigidity: Static content slowed announcements (new lines, certifications, client wins), hurting SEO and stakeholder confidence.

Our Build (From Scratch, Enterprise Foundations)

Front end (Next.js):

  • Responsive UI, SEO-first structure (semantic HTML, clean URL strategy, meta & OpenGraph, sitemap, schema).
  • High-quality assets (optimized images/video), subtle animations, and custom iconography to convey engineering capability.
  • Performance budget enforced (Lighthouse/CLS/LCP), edge caching.

Secure infrastructure:

  • CDN + WAF at the edge (DDoS/bot protection, TLS), private origin servers behind reverse proxy.
  • IAM & least privilege for all admin actions; encrypted secrets; HTTPS everywhere.
  • Observability: metrics/logs for uptime, errors, and cache effectiveness.

Admin SaaS (multi-tenant ready):

  • A separate private CMS SaaS with RBAC to draft/approve/publish projects, products, and blog posts.
  • Signed/secure API calls from CMS to site; CI/CD hooks for cache invalidations.
  • Built to be multi-tenant so the same control plane could support multiple business units or brands.

Note: Client ultimately chose not to use the CMS actively; the capability remains production-ready.

Compliance alignment:

  • Site & admin workflows documented and mapped to ISO policy controls (access, change management, logging).
  • Privacy/cookie notices, data retention notes, and content ownership SOPs established.

Time Taken

2 months from conceptualization to final delivery

Outcomes

  • Brand Upgrade: The company now presents as a global-grade Tier-1 partner; visual system and copy match their manufacturing quality.
  • Trust & Compliance: Platform aligned with ISO policy expectations; hardened access and auditability improved buyer confidence.
  • Performance & UX: Faster loads, higher engagement; SEO foundations in place for sustained organic visibility.
  • Operational Leverage: Even though the CMS wasn’t adopted, the architecture supports rapid updates and campaigns without rebuilds.
  • ROI: Executive feedback highlighted improved stakeholder perception; the site is now usable in enterprise sales cycles and vendor evaluations.

We don’t build “basic websites.” We engineer secure, compliant, performant platforms that hold up in enterprise and regulated contexts. The same foundations apply to:

  • Compliance-Grade Architecture Reviews (SOC2/ISO/PCI alignment)
  • Secure SaaS workflows (RBAC, audit trails, per-tenant isolation)
  • Performance & FinOps baselines (edge caching, CI/CD rigor)
