Case Study: Global Energy Management Firm achieves 84% less manual effort with Panaseer

Saving 84% of manual effort: Automating Cyber Essentials readiness

Global Energy Management Firm, an energy company with 5,000+ employees, needed a faster way to prepare for updated UK Cyber Essentials requirements. Its security team was spending six months each year on annual certification prep, with three analysts dedicating significant time to manually reconciling fragmented asset and vulnerability data across multiple tools.

To solve this, the firm implemented Panaseer’s Continuous Controls Monitoring platform. Panaseer centralized and normalized data from tools including Entra ID, Microsoft Defender, Intune, Jamf, and Jira, enabling SLA tracking, ownership mapping, and live compliance dashboards. The result was 84% less manual effort, Cyber Essentials readiness time cut from six months to three, and a 64% reduction in the average age of exploitable and patchable detections.
