Case Study: Broadridge cuts open-source approval time from days to minutes with CAST Highlight (CAST)

Broadridge Manages Open Source Risk with Control Tower powered by CAST Highlight

Broadridge Financial Solutions—whose software processes millions of daily transactions worth trillions and is maintained by 5,000+ developers—needed to govern open source risk across a portfolio of 400+ applications that rely on 13,000+ unique components. Rising IP licensing, security vulnerability and obsolete-framework risks made approvals slow and laborious (hours or days), so the CIO required a fast, auditable program that gave a comprehensive view of open source exposure without slowing developers.

Broadridge formed an Open Source Review Board and deployed CAST Highlight as an open source “control tower,” onboarding all applications, automating continuous SCA in CI/CD, and creating an approved-component list. Within weeks they had portfolio- and application-level dashboards with legal, security and technology insights; approval times dropped from days to minutes, the M&A team adopted the tool for due diligence, and Broadridge is expanding automation and dependency analysis.
