Wotton + Kearney Simplified Risk Management
Wotton + Kearney accelerated compliance and simplified risk management with StandardFusion, streamlining ISO certification and reducing manual effort through automation and a centralized platform.
The Challenge
Wotton + Kearney needed a tool to help with compliance, specifically ISO, and one that could help with risk analysis and third-party assessments. Mahesh Belagali, IT Security Manager, explained "In my past experience working at another company, I had completed an ISO certification using Microsoft Excel, SharePoint, and Jira, and it was very painful. When I joined Wotton + Kearney, I didn't want to go through that same painful journey with multiple, disparate tools, so we looked for a dedicated GRC tool."
"I have seen the arrival of beneficial features that were promised as coming in the pipeline. StandardFusion is adding the right features at the right time. I would definitely recommend StandardFusion."

The Solution
After conducting research and reading online reviews, W+K narrowed the selection down to three options. The team found that StandardFusion has features that meet W+K's requirements as well as their allocated budget. The other solutions W+K evaluated charged a fee for each entry made in the system or the total number of roles added to the tool. Considering this was a new initiative for the organization, they were unsure of how many entries they would make, rendering the overall pricing unknown. "Other highlights include managing controls and StandardFusion's threat library, with predefined threats and accompanying likelihood and impact. We can track all the critical assets and assign threats to each, which eliminates having to manually define them when doing the risk assessment. It's very, very helpful." - Mahesh Belagali, IT Security Manager, Wotton + Kearney
