Case Study: OfficeMax Mexico achieves automated vulnerability management and streamlined PCI DSS compliance with Qualys

Maximizing Vulnerability Management and Regulatory Compliance

OfficeMax Mexico, part of the OfficeMax retail chain, operates dozens of stores and supports a large, complex IT environment that processes significant credit‑card volume. The security team struggled to keep systems secure and meet PCI DSS requirements because open‑source, manual vulnerability scans produced many false positives and lacked centralized reporting and control, causing slow and inconsistent remediation.

By deploying Qualys PCI, OfficeMax Mexico moved to automated, on‑demand vulnerability scanning with accurate detection, centralized management, and integrated remediation/ticketing. The solution was easy to deploy and scale, automated verification of fixes, and provided PCI‑ready reporting—resulting in faster, more efficient remediation, fewer false positives, and simpler maintenance of PCI compliance.
