Case Study: Valvoline achieves data security and governance at scale with Cyera

How Valvoline Retail Secures Data at Scale with Cyera

Valvoline Retail Services was expanding rapidly, opening two new locations each week on the way to 3,500 sites, while managing more than 1,200 locations and growing volumes of consumer data. As a retail-only business after a major divestiture, Valvoline needed better visibility into where sensitive data lived, who could access it, and how it was protected. Manual inventories, siloed tools, outdated ownership knowledge, and labor-intensive privacy and audit processes made data governance and security difficult.

Valvoline chose Cyera’s SaaS-based data security platform to automatically discover and classify data across cloud and on-prem environments, with identity context and remediation guidance built in. Cyera delivered 98% coverage and a full inventory of structured and unstructured data within 30 days, helping Valvoline replace guesswork with risk-based decisions and support a cross-functional governance program. With Cyera, Valvoline also reduced exposure from over 11 million unused records and 1,600 outdated accounts, while laying the groundwork for stronger encryption, DLP, and AI-driven protections.
