Case Study: Marine Corps Community Services achieves continuous risk mitigation and regulatory compliance with QualysGuard (Qualys)

Marine Corps Community Services - Customer Case Study

Marine Corps Community Services (MCCS) provides retail, financial, and support services to U.S. Marines and operates a large, distributed IT environment (hundreds of servers, routers, IBM POS systems, and 5,500 workstations). MCCS found its open-source vulnerability scanners missed devices, produced many false positives, lacked actionable remediation guidance, and were costly to maintain—undermining global risk management and compliance efforts.

MCCS deployed QualysGuard Enterprise SaaS to enable continuous, centralized vulnerability management with accurate discovery, automated assessments, and detailed reporting integrated with WSUS. The solution reduced false positives, validated patch deployment across the estate, streamlined a Windows patch cycle managed by a five-person team, ensured monthly 100% scans and FISMA/PCI DSS compliance, saved time, and improved overall security posture.
