Case Study: Major Medical Device Manufacturer achieves 80% faster audit preparation and centralized IT risk management with NAVEX IRM (NAVEX)

Major Medical Device Manufacturer Automates IT Risk and Compliance Processes

A major medical device manufacturer faced a fractured view of IT risk and compliance: critical information was siloed in emails and spreadsheets, web app assessments, pen tests and vulnerability work were managed separately, and audit preparation was manual and time-consuming—leaving risks rarely visible to leadership and audits taking weeks to prepare.

Over an eight‑month rollout the company implemented NAVEX IRM to centralize controls, map IT risks to business risks, automate vulnerability management, consolidate two years of test results, and run audits from a single dashboard. The changes automated parts of vulnerability management in two months, reduced audit prep time by 80% (from five weeks to one), provided near‑real‑time risk visibility with alerts, and freed IT, audit and compliance staff to focus on remediation and cost‑saving initiatives.
