Case Study: Stavvy achieves rapid, unified cloud security and posture visibility during an acquisition with Datadog Cloud Security Management

How Stavvy used Datadog Cloud Security Management to monitor its security posture as it navigated a strategic acquisition

Stavvy, a Boston-based digital transaction platform for real estate professionals, needed to quickly assess and secure the infrastructure of a newly acquired company. The security team faced limited visibility from siloed monitoring tools and had to identify cloud misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and third‑party risks to align the acquisition with Stavvy’s security standards.

Stavvy deployed Datadog Cloud Security Management for centralized observability and posture checks—bringing the new environment into view within an hour. Datadog helped prioritize and remediate misconfigurations and vulnerabilities, enabled Slack alerts to avoid accidental suppression of findings, and produced a quarterly posture score for leadership. The unified approach streamlined risk prioritization, extended security influence across teams, and gave the company confidence to move fast while integrating the acquisition.
