Case Study: European HR and Payroll Services Provider achieves 160-point Security Rating increase with BitSight for Security Performance Management

European HR and Payroll Services Provider Leverages BitSight to Improve Security Performance Across Business Ecosystem

European HR and Payroll Services Provider, a 50‑year industry leader with more than 4,500 employees across 35 countries supporting 3+ million client employees (16 million payslips annually), needed to prove and improve its cybersecurity posture for clients and regulators. The organisation struggled to assess remediation gaps, report security performance over time, and benchmark against peers, so it turned to BitSight and its BitSight for Security Performance Management product for continuous visibility and measurement.

BitSight implemented continuous monitoring, broad measurement and forensic detail to prioritize remediation and report progress to executives and the Board. As a result, the European HR and Payroll Services Provider achieved a 160‑point increase in its BitSight Security Rating—including a 100‑point gain in five months—used BitSight data to guide M&A/divestment technical work, and plans to expand into BitSight for Third Party Risk Management to strengthen vendor assessments.
