Case Study: STERIS Corporation achieves objective benchmarking and improved cybersecurity risk management with BitSight Security Ratings

STERIS Adopts BitSight® Security Ratings for Benchmarking to Better Manage Cybersecurity Risk

STERIS Corporation, a global leader in infection prevention, decontamination, and surgical and critical care products, faced growing cybersecurity risk as it expanded through strategic acquisitions and needed an objective way to benchmark its security maturity against peers, assess acquisition targets, and communicate posture to executives and customers. To solve this, STERIS adopted BitSight and its BitSight Security Ratings for Benchmarking.

BitSight delivered a SaaS ratings platform with 24x7 access to daily-updated security ratings, trend graphs, alerts with forensic evidence, and peer/acquisition benchmarking. Using BitSight, STERIS can quantify and monitor risk across its primary and composite networks, get timely alerts for significant events, justify security investments to executive management, and drive fact-based remediation in acquired companies—demonstrating the primary network is measurably healthier than the composite and enabling targeted improvement.
