319% ROI: The Total Economic Impact of Smarttech247 VisionX

Forrester Consulting interviewed a decision-maker at a €1.4 billion global food manufacturer running VisionX across Europe and Asia Pacific. The study quantifies the real financial impact over a three-year period. Key results:

  • 319% ROI with a €2 million net present value
  • Payback in under 6 months
  • €1.8 million in avoided production downtime from cyberattacks
  • €497,000 saved from retiring redundant security platforms
  • €267,000 in productivity savings from avoided additional headcount

Why the Organisation Chose Smarttech247

The manufacturer had grown through acquisition, leaving fragmented security tooling and no incident response process in place. VisionX consolidated this into 24/7 monitored coverage, deployed country-by-country starting with a two-week rollout to the first site.

  • Detected the WannaCry ransomware incident early, before it caused damage
  • Replaced ad hoc security checks with continuous monitoring
  • Gave board-level visibility into risk posture for budget decisions
