Large County Government

Case Study

GOVERNMENT

ISSUE: Rising costs, limited visibility, and fragmented tools strained security and compliance efforts.

SOLUTION: UncommonX unified operations with a single platform, reducing spend and improving security, IT efficiency, and compliance reporting.

$260k in savings achieved through the elimination of third-party SIEM and storage systems, and costs avoided by using UncommonX for System Planning and Management and for Risk and Compliance.

Challenge:

A County Government client, responsible for critical public services and sensitive financial data, faced growing challenges in maintaining security, managing costs, and ensuring usability across a complex IT environment. As their team and service scope expanded, they needed to strengthen their Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Security Operations capabilities. Existing tools lacked the visibility required to fully protect their environment, prompting the search for a more comprehensive solution.

Solution:

After exploring UncommonX to support growing multi-tool log analytics needs, a County Government client quickly recognized the platform’s potential to elevate their entire security operations. They onboarded within weeks and immediately began leveraging UncommonX as a foundational element of their IT infrastructure. Post-deployment, the platform’s capabilities enabled them to retire their existing SIEM, streamline systems planning and orchestration, and strengthen risk and compliance reporting—all without incurring additional costs for tools, staff, or consultants.

Results:

After full onboarding, the client reduced costs across Security Operations, SIEM, IT planning, and compliance, eliminating redundancies and avoiding additional tool and service spend. These efficiencies improved cybersecurity posture, IT visibility, and operational performance while enhancing their ability to manage and report on risk and compliance requirements. As with many government clients, UncommonX delivered meaningful savings alongside stronger, more streamlined security operations.
