Case Study: Graco achieves intellectual property protection and regulatory compliance with NetSPI

Graco - Customer Case Study

Graco, Inc., a Minneapolis-based global leader in fluid handling systems, faced the challenge of protecting valuable intellectual property and managing information security risks across operations in the U.S., Europe, and Asia. To bolster its IS risk, compliance, and audit posture, Graco engaged NetSPI for independent security evaluation and ongoing security and compliance support.

NetSPI implemented a comprehensive security program assessment and review—including security program development, risk analysis, quarterly internet-based assessments, policy and architecture reviews, and network/systems/wireless testing—under a three-year contract focused on Sarbanes-Oxley and standards such as ISO 17799 and NIST. As a result of NetSPI’s work, Graco realized considerable cost savings, reduced operational risk, strengthened regulatory compliance, and improved integration between Internal Audit and IS teams, with Internal Audit leadership praising NetSPI’s practical, high-value recommendations.
