Case Study: University of Arizona

Learn how the University of Arizona expanded program coverage from a dozen resources to nearly 300 while achieving 1,002% return on investment with Sibylity.

The Challenge

The University of Arizona's cybersecurity team faced an impossible equation:

  • Less than 12 security plans maintained across 100+ units
  • 16-40+ hours required per security plan
  • $2.57 million theoretical cost for full coverage
  • Near-zero visibility into distributed resources

"With over 100 units, everybody trying to manage spreadsheets and very few people at the ISO driving the process, it was patchy, participation was low, and it was very difficult and time consuming."
— Steve Hicks, Principal Information Security Architect

The Journey

The Transformation

Instead of accepting blind spots or finding millions they didn't have, the University partnered with SibylSoft to completely reimagine their approach using Sibylity.


Key Innovation

Through AI-powered guidance and intelligent workflows, resource teams could now build comprehensive, NIST-compliant security plans in under one hour;  a 93.75% reduction from the previous 16-40+ hours.

The Result

Coverage

Before: <12 active security plans

After: ~300 active security plans

Participation: 100% of units engaged

Financial

Annual Value Created: $3.9 million

Direct Risk Reduction: $943,740

Efficiency Gains: $2.38 million saved

Strategic Capacity Freed: $582,120

Total Annual Program Cost: <$360,000
