Case Study: The University of Derby achieves stronger data security and risk mitigation with AppCheck

The University of Derby - Customer Case Study

The University of Derby required a robust data security and risk mitigation strategy to protect its vast array of software applications used across diverse subject areas. Their challenge was to achieve this high level of security without dedicating an overwhelming amount of internal resources. They chose AppCheck for its comprehensive vulnerability scanning service to address this need.

AppCheck provided an easy-to-use platform with UK-based support and specialized scanning templates, such as for WordPress, which simplified integrating security into daily operations. The solution delivered significant results, including maintaining Cyber Essentials Plus status and providing full transparency over vulnerabilities. The automated, repeated scans and integration with JIRA for ticketing saved considerable time, allowing the university's team to focus on fixing issues rather than finding them, ultimately securing most of their systems over a two-year period.
