Case Study: Global Media Group achieves stronger security posture and PCI DSS compliance with Protiviti

Global Media Group - Customer Case Study

Global Media Group, a rapidly growing publisher that had expanded through multiple acquisitions, faced a complex security challenge: disparate IT systems, varied application security levels and a regulatory requirement to complete a PCI DSS gap analysis. To address this, Global Media Group engaged Protiviti for a holistic risk assessment, automated network scans, manual vulnerability testing and ethical hacking/penetration testing to identify gaps across internal, external and physical controls.

Protiviti worked with the company to prioritize and remediate discovered vulnerabilities, immediately fixing most public-facing issues, meeting PCI compliance, and avoiding pending fines from an acquiring bank. Protiviti then helped implement a comprehensive vulnerability management program and improved software development lifecycle and service-provider management practices, resulting in a significantly stronger security posture and reduced exposure to real-world attacks.
