Case Study: Large North American Retailing Company achieves compliance and faster remediation with Rapid7

Large North American Retail Chain Relies on Rapid7 Nexpose® and Metasploit® to Achieve Compliance, Minimize Risk, and Mitigate Threats

Large North American Retailing Company needed a faster, more effective way to manage vulnerability scanning and penetration testing across hundreds of store locations while meeting SOX, PCI, and HIPAA compliance requirements. Manual patch and vulnerability reviews were no longer practical, and the team turned to Rapid7 to go beyond compliance and better understand real security risk.

Rapid7 implemented Nexpose and Metasploit Pro, tightly integrating vulnerability scanning with exploit validation to prioritize the highest risks and automatically generate remediation reports. As a result, the retailer saved countless hours, reduced remediation time from 2–3 months to a matter of weeks, and gained more actionable security information to help secure retail transaction servers and the broader environment.
