Case Study: Northern Safety & Industrial secures its eCommerce site with Mend

Northern Safety & Industrial saves developers many hours with Mend

Northern Safety & Industrial, a subsidiary of the Würth Group that sells protective gear and operates an eCommerce site, needed to achieve PCI DSS compliance and secure its customers' payment information. The challenge was manually managing open source components for vulnerabilities, a time-consuming process that diverted developers from their primary work. They required an automated solution to scan for and remediate vulnerabilities without disrupting their development workflow.

The company implemented Mend's SaaS product, integrating it into their Azure DevOps environment. The solution automatically scans for vulnerabilities and blocks non-compliant components from entering the codebase. As a result, Northern Safety & Industrial secured its eCommerce site, prevented potential attacks, and saved many hours of developers' time. Mend provided a strong return on investment, with the applications development manager stating the tool pays for itself.
