Case Study: YMCA of Greater Toronto achieves enhanced security visibility and optimized defenses with Cymulate

YMCA Greater Toronto (YMCAGTA) maximizes value from their existing security architecture

The YMCA of Greater Toronto (YMCAGTA), a mid-size charity supporting community services, needed clear visibility into its security posture to protect member data, meet PIPEDA and PCI DSS obligations, and stretch a limited security budget. SVP of IT Craig Bradley deployed the Cymulate platform (with partner Secure Sense) to gain continuous, easy-to-deploy testing of controls across all attack vectors and identify gaps and misconfigurations.

Cymulate’s SaaS assessments delivered prescriptive guidance and retesting capability, producing tangible security improvements in under a month and allowing YMCAGTA to prioritize exposures, justify targeted procurements, and improve board reporting. The result was an improved security posture, validated configuration changes, and — as Craig notes — effectively doubled the productivity of the security team while enabling ongoing automation and continuous optimization.
