Introduction
Operative, a software development powerhouse, specializes in digital ad management and linear broadcasting systems, serving major media industry players. Despite their complex infrastructure—comprising multi-tenant and single-tenant cloud setups, along with off-the-shelf products and professional services—Operative maintains a lean and efficient central team. This team’s mission is to support their extensive operations with streamlined and robust Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) processes.
Focused on maximizing efficiency and minimizing resource strain, the Operative team is always on the lookout for high-impact solutions that enhance their operations without adding unnecessary complexity.
The Problem
Operative faced significant challenges in managing their GRC processes, particularly during audits and user access reviews (UAR). Their previous methods presented several critical issues:
The reliance on Excel spreadsheets and SharePoint folders for evidence collection and stakeholder coordination was labor-intensive and inefficient.
With 15 annual audits, the manual processes required substantial time and effort, leading to high labor hours and resource allocation.
Conducting UARs across multiple cloud systems added another layer of complexity, further increasing the manual workload and operational strain.
The combination of these challenges resulted in a need for a more efficient, automated, and reliable solution to streamline their GRC operations and reduce the burden on their team.
The Solution
Operative chose Cypago as their new Cyber GRC solution. Cypago immediately impressed them with surprisingly easy onboarding and the level of support they got from the Cypago team.
After 1 year of using Cypago, Operative benefits from:
Cypago’s automation capabilities eliminated the need for manual data entry and organization, making evidence collection more efficient and significantly reducing labor hours.
Cypago’s highly customizable platform allowed Operative to tailor data extraction and integration to their specific needs, ensuring a precise alignment with their compliance requirements and enhancing the effectiveness of their GRC processes.
The platform revolutionized the user access review process, automating tasks such as exporting spreadsheets and tickets, which increased overall productivity and operational efficiency.
“In our journey to streamline our GRC processes, we embarked on a quest to find a solution that would not only reduce labor hours but also minimize the involvement of numerous stakeholders. With Cypago, we found more than just a solution; we found a partner whose automation capabilities and unwavering support have transformed the way we work. Cypago doesn’t just meet our needs; they exceed our expectations, proving time and again their commitment to our success.”
