Case Study: Standard Meat Company saves 8 hours per week and strengthens cybersecurity with Netwrix Auditor (Netwrix)

Standard Meat Company Saves 8 Hours a Week and Mitigates Cyber Threats

Standard Meat Company (SMC), a long-established meat packaging supplier, needed better protection for sensitive HR and financial data and greater visibility into its IT environment—especially file servers and the Domain Admins group. Without this oversight the company faced potential data breaches, downtime and reputational damage.

By deploying Netwrix Auditor, SMC gained real-time visibility, alerts and reporting that cut log-hunting time and saved about 8 hours per week, reducing daily monitoring to 10–15 minutes. The tool exposed excessive file permissions, enabled 24/7 oversight of privileged accounts, and revealed inactive ex‑employee accounts so processes could be fixed—resulting in a smaller attack surface, stronger control over privileged users, and reduced breach risk.
