The Challenge: Navigating Complexity and Enhancing Visibility

ONNERA Group, a dynamic industrial group within the Mondragón Corporation, faces a unique challenge: managing the security across seven distinct operating companies, each with its own systems and pace. Their business lines span industrial laundry equipment manufacturing and hospitality solutions, demanding a flexible and robust security strategy.
As Iñaki Bizarro, ONNERA Group’s Head of Systems (responsible for systems, networks, and cybersecurity), noted, alignment was critical: “Each company moved at its own pace, and aligning our cybersecurity efforts across the group was a key focus.”
While regular audits offered useful, high-level snapshots, ONNERA Group’s needed a way to transform its security posture from a point-in-time assessment to a continuous improvement model. They recognized the urgent need for real-time visibility that could keep pace with their ambitious digitalization strategy.

The Solution: Continuous Risk Visibility and Prioritized Action

A strong recommendation led Bizarro to adopt XM Cyber. What immediately set the solution apart was its proactive and prescriptive approach to risk management. XM Cyber goes beyond simply flagging vulnerabilities; it maps attack paths, provides multiple remediation options, tracks progress, and ensures no critical exposure is overlooked. “XM Cyber doesn’t just show you problems – it helps you fix them, offers options, and follows up,” Bizarro noted. “That’s what made it different and valuable for us.”

The platform enabled the ONNERA Group’s team to gain real-time insights and prioritize the most critical exposures. This led to the implementation of clear, achievable remediation goals, typically set every 15 days. With continuous monitoring, the team could finally focus their limited resources on high-impact issues, systematically reducing the group’s overall cyber risk.

Recommendation and Future Outlook: Security as a Continuous Effort
ONNERA Group highly recommends XM Cyber to any organization seeking a practical and proactive approach to cybersecurity. The platform has helped their small team instill a culture where security is an ongoing, manageable process, not just a one-time fix. “XM Cyber forces us to stay engaged,” Bizarro emphasized. “It’s not like antivirus software that you install and forget. With this tool, you understand that cybersecurity is continuous – and you have support to keep moving forward.”

Looking ahead, ONNERA Group plans to continue leveraging XM Cyber to adapt to emerging threats, maintain strong cyber resilience, and confidently support its group-wide digitalization efforts.
