Valvoline Retail Services is accelerating expansion—opening two new locations every week on its way to 3,500 stores. But rapid growth exposed a critical issue: sensitive consumer data was sprawling across 1,200+ locations, with little clarity on ownership, usage, or protection.

Following a corporate divestiture and transition to a retail-only business, Valvoline faced:

  • Unclassified and fragmented data across cloud and on-prem systems
  • Manual, error-prone processes for privacy requests and audits
  • Outdated identities and records, with 11M+ unused data entries and 1,600 dormant accounts
  • Inefficient compliance workflows, requiring six separate tools

All of this created unnecessary costs, increased risk, and slowed the company’s ability to build a strong zero-trust and compliance posture at the scale their growth demanded.

Valvoline turned to Cyera for a modern, scalable approach to data security and governance. Unlike legacy tools that required heavy infrastructure, Cyera’s SaaS-based platform deployed in minutes, providing 98% coverage across structured and unstructured data environments.

Key capabilities included:

  • Automated discovery and classification of sensitive data across the enterprise
  • Identity context integration, surfacing risks like orphaned accounts and excessive access
  • Prescriptive remediation guidance, supporting encryption, data minimization, and governance
  • Open ecosystem integrations with Microsoft Purview, Abnormal AI, and DLP tools

Corey Kaemming, Senior Director & CISO, puts it simply:

“Cyera helped us move from ‘we think’ to risk-based decisions. Now the board sees facts, not guesses.”

Within just 30 days, Valvoline had a complete inventory of its data, enabling Security, Privacy, Data Engineering, and Legal teams to collaborate around a single source of truth.

With Cyera, Valvoline has transformed data governance and security into a competitive advantage:

  • Deployment in 10 minutes once access was granted
  • Full data visibility within 30 days across structured and unstructured environments
  • Faster, fact-based decision-making, strengthening board confidence
  • Cross-functional alignment through a new data governance steering committee
  • Proactive compliance and risk management, eliminating stale data and unused accounts
  • Future-proof security posture, with Cyera intelligence powering AI workflows and real-time DLP controls

As Valvoline scales to 3,500+ locations, Cyera continues to be a core pillar of its “yes-with-guardrails” security culture - delivering the clarity and confidence needed to fuel growth at speed.
