Case Study: Michigan Catholic Conference achieves faster vulnerability remediation and a top Security GPA with Fortra

How Vulnerability Management and Pen Testing help Improve MCC's Network Security and Protect Sensitive Data

Michigan Catholic Conference (MCC), which represents the Catholic Church in Michigan and administers insurance and retirement benefits for more than 22,000 members, faced a growing cyber threat landscape and realized its existing security tools could not scale. The IT team needed better network visibility, faster prioritization and remediation of vulnerabilities, and the ability to add and segment devices while maintaining tight access controls.

MCC implemented Fortra’s Frontline VM for vulnerability management plus regular penetration testing, gaining an intuitive Network Security GPA score, role-based access, on-demand device segmentation, and unlimited scanning. The solution was quick to deploy, improved remediation speed for medium/high vulnerabilities, enabled rescan validation after fixes, and delivered cost efficiencies — earning MCC a Top 30 Business recognition for highest GPA and demonstrably lowering risk across its network.
