Protecting a Global Humanitarian Mission with Unified Security Operations

Industry Descriptor: A Leading Global Humanitarian Organization.

The Challenge Following a successful governance rollout, the organization needed to bridge the gap between compliance and active defense. Their incident response process remained largely manual, making it difficult to maintain a consistent security posture across global missions. They required a way to ensure that security incidents directly informed their broader organizational risk profile, rather than existing in a silo.

The Solution The team implemented ServiceNow SecOps (SIR & VR), creating a direct link between compliance findings and security incidents.

Key implementation features included:

  • Automated Playbooks: Built response workflows that trigger based on the criticality of the specific business service involved.
  • Integrated Governance: Transformed the security operation from a reactive department into an integrated component of digital governance.
  • Risk-Based Response: Linked security incidents back to the existing IRM framework so that threats are prioritized by their impact on the mission.

The Impact

  • Integrated Defense: Security incidents now automatically inform risk scores, providing a real-time view of organizational health.
  • Consistent Response: Standardized playbooks ensure that every incident, regardless of geography, is handled according to strict organizational policy.
  • Actionable Intelligence: The integration of Threat Intelligence allows the security team to prioritize responses based on actual external risk levels.

From Reactive to Integrated: Transforming security incidents into real-time business risk intelligence.
