Case Study: Leading Social Networking Company achieves streamlined information security and scalable IT risk management with MetricStream

A Leading Social Networking Company Streamlines Information Security And Risk Management To Counter Cyber-Threats

A leading global social networking company with a rapidly growing user base and thousands of servers worldwide faced rising cyber‑threats, fragmented information‑security processes, and hundreds of vendor relationships. Siloed data made correlation, reporting, and scalable risk management difficult, and the organization needed to automate control testing, vendor assessments, and compliance with standards like PCI‑DSS and ISO 27001/2.

The company implemented the MetricStream IT GRC solution — a single, integrated platform including threat & vulnerability management, risk management, vendor security assessment, compliance, and issue tracking — that integrates with existing security tools and automates workflows. The deployment centralized and correlated security data, delivered real‑time dashboards and customizable reports, streamlined vendor and remediation processes, and improved visibility and compliance, enabling more proactive protection of the organization’s global IT infrastructure.
