Challenge
Continuous M&A integration: TeamSystem acquires a large amount of companies annually, each bringing its own infrastructure, cloud architectures, and security maturity levels. The security team needed immediate visibility into newly acquired environments.
Scaling cloud complexity: Since 2022, the organization has grown from 2,500 to 5,000 employees, doubled its cloud infrastructure footprint, and expanded to 2.5 million customers across seven countries.
Traditional tool limitations: Traditional, agent based security platforms required complex coordination
Limited risk visibility: Operating across multiple European jurisdictions required fast, accurate way to quantify cyber-risk and generate evidence for regulators
Solution
Agentless cloud visibility: Wiz provided full visibility across environments within 48 hours, enabling a repeatable Day 1 security integration process for new acquisitions.
Shared visibility across engineering: An intuitive visual interface empowers 100+ developers, DevOps engineers, and engineering managers to identify and remediate risks.
Real-time detection and risk prioritization: Wiz quickly highlights critical exposures such as misconfigured storage or public cloud exposures, providing remediation guidance.
Improved risk quantification: Full-stack visibility improved the accuracy of cyber-risk reporting by 80% and accelerated compliance reporting.

Securing a Rapidly Expanding Cloud Environment
TeamSystem is Italy’s largest software company and one of Europe’s fastest-growing tech organizations, powering digital business management, HR, and ERP tools for SMEs and professionals. Over the past eight years, the organization has aggressively expanded its customer base from 800,000 to 2.5 million users.
This growth has dramatically increased the scale and complexity of its technology environment. Since 2022 alone, the company has expanded from 2,500 employees to roughly 6,000, while its cloud infrastructure has doubled in size.
Much of this hypergrowth is driven by a massive M&A strategy, with TeamSystem acquiring a large number of companies every year. Since 2022, this growth has doubled their cloud infrastructure footprint, expanding a complex, multi-cloud environment spanning AWS, GCP, Azure, and Kubernetes. Each new acquisition introduces different cloud accounts and development teams with varying security standards. For Group CISO Lorenzo Torti, the objective was to build a security program that could integrate dozens of companies annually without losing visibility or control.
Rapid Visibility Across New Acquisitions
During M&A due diligence, security teams often face tight timelines and legal barriers that prevent thorough internal scanning of a target company's infrastructure. Traditional agent-based tools required complex software deployments across newly acquired systems, slowing down integration and creating risk blind spots. TeamSystem needed an immediate, frictionless way to assess the posture of newly acquired environments.
“After 10 minutes looking at Wiz, I wanted to start the proof of concept because it was playing in another league compared to the competitors.”

Improving Risk Visibility and Compliance
Operating across seven countries requires strict adherence to multiple regulatory frameworks. Before Wiz, quantifying risk across a rapidly changing cloud estate was incredibly difficult, and generating compliance reports for certification authorities took weeks.
With Wiz's comprehensive visibility, TeamSystem improved its cyber-risk quantification accuracy by 80%.
“Wiz provides evidence in a matter of hours for reporting to regulators and certification authorities,” said Torti.
Additionally, Wiz's real-time detection acts as a continuous safety net. If a developer accidentally exposes cloud storage, such as an S3 bucket or Azure Blob, Wiz alerts the team nearly instantly, preventing common cloud mistakes from escalating into incidents.
Embedding Security Across Engineering
In modern public cloud environments, the traditional boundaries between networking, infrastructure, and application teams have merged, often making accountability for misconfigurations unclear. To solve this, TeamSystem democratized its cloud security.
Wiz is now actively utilized by approximately 100 users across the company, including developers, DevOps engineers, site reliability engineers, and security champions. Wiz's Security Graph and contextual risk insights make findings easy to understand, and the platform often provides precise remediation steps. Rather than relying entirely on a centralized security team, engineers are empowered to identify and fix issues themselves.
“Wiz helps operationalize security and gives more ownership to internal teams through democratization,” explained Torti.
Security That Scales With Growth
TeamSystem has transformed its security strategy into a true business enabler. By partnering with business unit directors and making Wiz risk metrics a standard part of bi-weekly development sprints, the organization continues to prioritize critical fixes systematically.
“Wiz was a game changer for the speed and velocity of understanding asset visibility and risk status.”
Lorenzo Torti, Group CISO, TeamSystem
The results speak for themselves: even as TeamSystem's cloud infrastructure doubled through rapid acquisitions, the company successfully increased security posture by 66%. With 48-hour visibility, automated compliance reporting, and a culture of shared responsibility, TeamSystem can confidently sustain its hypergrowth without compromising its security posture.
