Case Study: British Heart Foundation achieves automated vulnerability management and streamlined PCI compliance with Qualys Express

Finding the Cure for Security Vulnerabilities and Strengthening Regulatory Compliance

The British Heart Foundation (BHF), the UK’s leading heart charity with about 3,000 staff, ~22,000 volunteers and over 730 charity shops, needed to protect corporate systems and a large retail network that processes card transactions. Faced with constantly evolving vulnerabilities and the need to meet PCI DSS requirements, BHF sought an effective, easy-to-deploy solution to automate vulnerability management and streamline compliance.

BHF chose the cloud-delivered Qualys Express suite for automated asset discovery, granular scanning, remediation tracking and PCI reporting without on-premises infrastructure. The solution has streamlined the vulnerability lifecycle, reduced manual effort for IT, enabled frequent automated scans across corporate and retail environments, and strengthened BHF’s security posture while helping substantiate and prepare for PCI compliance.
