Case Study: US Energy Enterprise achieves enhanced IP protection and CMMI 4 readiness with Happiest Minds

Risk Assessment & Security Strategy Denition for a US Energy Enterprise

Happiest Minds partnered with a US energy enterprise that needed a comprehensive IP risk assessment and a gap analysis against CMMI to raise overall security maturity. The client faced rising exposure from increased connectivity, workforce mobility and global supply-chain dependencies, and required controls to protect information and intellectual property while managing networked and remote/mobile workers.

Happiest Minds implemented data discovery and classification, evaluated the current security posture, defined an IP protection architecture, performed preliminary risk analysis, and delivered remediation plans with a three‑year roadmap toward CMMI Level 4. The engagement produced documented visibility into data stores, owners and IP categories, clear policies and objectives for CMMI 4, improved accountability, transparent timelines and cost estimates, and increased security awareness across business and IT.
