Case Study: RMS achieves improved security posture and streamlined vendor risk management with SecurityScorecard

RMS - Customer Case Study

RMS, a global catastrophe risk‑modeling firm with over 1,500 employees, faced a need to rapidly strengthen its cybersecurity posture after its SecurityScorecard rating was below expectations. CISO Dave Ruedger launched a three‑year maturity plan to remediate weaknesses, build teams across Risk & Compliance, Governance & Audit, Security Operations and Application Security, and to measure outcomes so he could secure funding and align investments.

SecurityScorecard’s ratings platform, self‑assessment tools and Board Summary reports enabled RMS to prioritize high‑impact fixes, speed vendor risk assessments, and demonstrate measurable risk burn‑down to leadership. As a result, RMS quickly improved its security score, obtained more program funding than expected, reduced time to complete vendor assessments, and integrated SecurityScorecard data into its cyber risk models—delivering time savings, stronger compliance mapping and clearer ROI across the security roadmap.
