BD Emerson & Savant/GE Lighting: Steering Enterprise Security and Privacy in the IoT Era

LifeLenz operates at the intersection of workforce intelligence and advanced analytics, delivering technology that optimizes labor, compliance, and operational performance across large, distributed teams. As the platform expanded, so did the complexity of its infrastructure and the expectations of enterprise buyers.

To meet rising security demands from customers and stakeholders, LifeLenz committed to a full transformation, spanning infrastructure, application security, and governance. Rather than treating SOC 2 compliance as a checkbox exercise, LifeLenz viewed it as a catalyst to modernize its software delivery model, harden its environment, and stand apart from competitors.

Recognizing the need for deep security and compliance expertise, LifeLenz partnered with BD Emerson to design, build, and execute a transformation strategy tailored to both business needs and technical realities.

LifeLenz’s leadership approached this transformation by:

• Migrating legacy on-prem software systems to cloud-native infrastructure for speed, scalability, and security
  
  
• Implementing modern backup and disaster recovery protocols to protect customer data
  
  
• Redesigning CICD pipelines and deployment strategies to incorporate secure coding, monitoring, and log review
  
  
• Aligning on rigorous security control objectives through extensive customer benchmarking and contract analysis
  
  

From endpoint and network security to software and application hardening, BD Emerson helped orchestrate a comprehensive uplift, while simultaneously serving as LifeLenz’s external CISO to its customers.

BD Emerson worked side-by-side with LifeLenz to drive their security and compliance modernization initiative. The result: a full-stack security architecture paired with governance and operational excellence, designed to meet the demands of enterprise clients.

From day one, BD Emerson brought urgency, clarity, and a sharp understanding of what truly matters to our business — earning and keeping customer trust. They went beyond helping us meet compliance requirements; they helped build a foundation for secure, scalable growth. That kind of partnership is rare.
