Direct Marketing Solutions Case Study

The challenge

Two scanners, one spreadsheet, and no view of real impact

The team could find vulnerabilities. Measuring their impact against existing controls took manual work it had no time for.

Scores missed real risk

CVSS and CVE scores ranked findings without reflecting actual exposure.

Spreadsheet overhead

Manual spreadsheet work consumed a large share of the team's week.

Unknown control coverage

The team could not tell whether existing controls already covered a vulnerability.

Small team, heavy tooling

Two to three people were stretched across multiple VM tools.

After HivePro

Remediation decisions now take minutes

Exposure management linked each vulnerability to the controls and detections already in place.

SIEM and EDR detection logic

The team pulls detection logic for SIEM and EDR to resolve vulnerabilities faster.

Hours to minutes

Decision time per vulnerability dropped from hours to minutes.

Minimal manual assessment

Assessments run with little human intervention.

Board-ready reporting

Dashboards gave executives a direct view of risk and remediation progress.

In their words

“The impact of shifting from vulnerability to exposure management is ‘night and day.’”
