Case Study: Bayer achieves continuous, data-driven third-party cyber risk management with BitSight

Bayer - Customer Case Study

Bayer, a global life‑sciences company, faced the challenge of continuously verifying and prioritising third‑party cyber risk across an expanding vendor ecosystem — questionnaires and audits proved too resource‑intensive. To gain ongoing, objective visibility into supplier security, Bayer engaged BitSight to deploy its security ratings platform.

BitSight’s platform issues daily security ratings (on a 250–900 scale) that are continuously updated, giving Bayer data‑driven, verifiable measurements of its third‑, fourth‑ and fifth‑party risk. By using BitSight’s ratings to tier vendors and focus remediation efforts, Bayer has streamlined its vendor security programme, enabled faster, more strategic cyber‑risk decisions, and begun a six‑month evaluation of measurable improvements.
