Case Study: CPA Australia achieves consolidated, automated security and faster detection with Rapid7 Insight Cloud

Rapid7 Insight Cloud Consolidates, Orchestrates, and Enhances Security for CPA Australia

CPA Australia, a global professional accounting body serving over 164,000 members, needed to protect highly sensitive member and financial data across a hybrid multi-cloud environment while keeping security an enabler—not a blocker—for remote and flexible work. With a small security team and fragmented tooling, the organization sought to consolidate capabilities (application security, SIEM, vulnerability management, orchestration) and automate routine work to improve detection, remediation, and compliance without slowing developers.

CPA Australia adopted the Rapid7 Insight Cloud—including InsightAppSec, InsightIDR, InsightVM, InsightConnect, and the Insight Agent—to centralize testing, monitoring, and automation. Developers now self-run app scans via InsightAppSec, InsightIDR reduced mean time to detect and respond and provided executive-ready dashboards, and InsightConnect automated workflows with tools like CrowdStrike, Okta, and ServiceNow. A shared agent deployed to 95% of the estate accelerated prioritized remediation, delivering faster threat response, stronger compliance, and quicker upskilling of the security team.
