Case Study: Centauri strengthens cybersecurity posture with ESM Cyber from ESM Software

With ESM Cyber—Centauri Now Can Make Targeted Decisions Based on Current Cybersecurity Posture and Risk Environment

Centauri, a provider of mission-critical technical services and solutions, needed to move away from a manual, ad hoc cybersecurity and compliance process built on spreadsheets, slide decks, shared drives, and tribal knowledge. The company wanted a more organized way to manage its cybersecurity program, support NIST 800-171 and CMMC compliance, and give leadership a clear view of its current security posture. Centauri turned to ESM Software’s ESM Cyber cloud application to replace its siloed approach with a centralized system.

ESM Software implemented ESM Cyber to centralize artifacts, evidence, and compliance documentation, automate framework mapping and scoring, and provide a single source of truth for cybersecurity posture and audit readiness. The results included faster assessment preparation, better visibility for executives, improved reporting and budgeting support, and more efficient responses to customer and government inquiries. Centauri’s CISO said preparation time dropped from about two months to just days, and the team gained a repeatable, trackable process for ongoing compliance and continuous improvement.
