Case Study: Master Electronics achieves ISO 27001 audit-readiness in 9 months with Vanta

Master Electronics becomes ISO 27001 audit-ready in 9 months with Vanta

Master Electronics, an electronics distributor serving security-conscious clients like NASA, faced a significant challenge with manual compliance processes. The company was inundated with security questionnaires, which pulled its cybersecurity team away from its core mission. To reduce this burden and establish credibility, it needed to achieve ISO 27001 certification, a task its previous manual approach could not scale to meet. This led them to partner with Vanta.

By implementing Vanta's platform, Master Electronics automated its compliance program with tools for evidence collection, policy management, and questionnaire automation. With Vanta, the company became internal audit-ready for over 100 ISO 27001 controls in just 9 months, a process that had previously taken 18 months for only 16 controls. The solution also allowed them to rewrite 15 policies in 3 months and significantly reduced time spent on security questionnaires, all without adding new headcount.
