Case Study: Rimi Baltic improves security posture and speeds vendor vetting with UpGuard

UpGuard helps Rimi Baltic improve their security posture and speed up their vendor vetting process

Rimi Baltic, one of the largest retailers in the Baltic States, needed a better way to protect sensitive data, improve visibility into its external attack surface, and speed up vendor risk assessments. Its IT security team was spending significant time on manual scanning, asset discovery, and researching potential SaaS vendors, which made it difficult to keep up with its many moving parts across more than 30 domains.

Using UpGuard’s attack surface management and Vendor Risk platform, Rimi Baltic automated asset discovery, continuously monitored digital assets and vendors, and gained instant security ratings to streamline vetting. UpGuard helped the team save several man-days per month, cut initial vendor research from 1–2 hours to 5–10 minutes, improve internal reporting, and focus on previously unmanaged risks like typosquatting and employee data vulnerabilities.
