Case Study: Leading Global Investment Firm achieves continuous portfolio cyber-risk visibility and rapid threat detection with BitSight Security Ratings

Leading Global Investment Firm, Manages Cyber Risk of Portfolio Investments with BitSight® Security Ratings

Leading Global Investment Firm, a major private equity investor managing a growing portfolio, faced the challenge of continuously assessing cyber risk across many portfolio companies without relying on intrusive questionnaires or point‑in‑time audits. To gain scalable, non‑intrusive visibility into security maturity, the firm chose BitSight and adopted BitSight Security Ratings for Portfolio Management.

BitSight delivered a SaaS ratings portal with daily‑updated security scores, rolling 12‑month event views, and alerts containing forensic evidence, enabling the firm to drill into industries or individual companies and prioritize remediation. BitSight immediately detected previously unidentified malware on the firm’s network, provided the data needed to mitigate incidents, and helped the firm take a more proactive, measurable approach to managing portfolio cyber risk.
