Case Study: Snam achieves stronger cybersecurity performance and EU NIS compliance with BitSight

Snam Leverages BitSight to Enhance Compliance with European Security Regulations

Snam, Europe’s leading gas utility, faced the challenge of protecting critical energy infrastructure and complying with the EU NIS Directive while improving visibility into its cybersecurity posture, reducing botnet exposure, and effectively reporting security performance to the executive team and Board. To meet these needs, Snam engaged BitSight, using BitSight for Security Performance Management (the BitSight Security Ratings Platform) to benchmark performance against peers and monitor its global digital footprint.

Snam centralized cyber responsibilities under a new Global Security & Cyber Defense unit and deployed BitSight for continuous measurement, monitoring, and prioritization of remediation efforts. BitSight enabled Snam to identify and prioritize key risks, share clear Security Ratings with executives (CEO and CSO now present the BitSight Security Rating to the Board in a single slide), and incorporate ratings into internal risk assessments; the organization has also built a workflow to monitor critical vendors and planned expansion to BitSight for Third Party Risk Management.
