Case Study: Carl Zeiss achieves streamlined global compliance management with Acuity Risk Management’s STREAM

Why German manufacturer Carl Zeiss AG chose STREAM to manage compliance globally across their business

Carl Zeiss AG, a global leader in optics and optoelectronics with operations in more than 40 countries, needed a better way to manage compliance and information security risk across its rapidly growing business. As the company expanded, its existing approach made it increasingly difficult to centralize risks and controls, maintain oversight across sites, and support its own in-house assessment schemes. Acuity Risk Management and its STREAM platform were brought in to help address these challenges.

Acuity Risk Management implemented STREAM as a configurable, centrally managed solution tailored to Carl Zeiss AG’s global and regional structure, with customized content, workflow, and training for users at different levels of the business. After a two-week pilot, ZEISS selected STREAM, and the company gained easier compliance reporting, automated control checks and reminders, better visibility across sites, and more efficient risk management without relying on spreadsheets. The result was faster implementation, improved monitoring and reporting, and savings in both time and money.
