Case Study: Cabela's streamlines vendor risk management and reduces cyber risk with BitSight Security Ratings

BitSight® Enables Cabela’s Vendor Risk Management Team to Reduce Cybersecurity Risks

Cabela’s, a leading retailer of hunting, fishing and outdoor gear, needed a more efficient way to continuously monitor the cybersecurity posture of critical third‑party vendors as the company expanded. To replace time‑consuming field assessments and questionnaires, Cabela’s turned to BitSight and implemented BitSight Security Ratings for Vendor Risk Management and Event Forensics to gain a continuous, comparable view of vendor security and benchmark its own performance against other retailers.

BitSight’s Security Ratings allowed Cabela’s vendor risk team to quickly screen prospective vendors, share ratings with vendors, and monitor changes in real time—cutting assessment cycles from weeks to hours. The BitSight platform streamlined vendor conversations, enabled independent verification of vendor security claims, and provided senior leadership with cross‑functional visibility and industry benchmarking, materially improving Cabela’s vendor risk management program.
