Challenge
Discount Tire, a leading national retailer of tires and wheels, initially engaged Zaviant to address a cybersecurity incident. The company then requested assistance with meeting the procedural requirements of its cyber insurance policy, which included developing a cyber incident response plan and holding regular table top exercises to prepare executives for emergency situations.
Solution
Zaviant quickly addressed Discount Tire’s cybersecurity incident, preventing the issue from escalating into a critical threat. Zaviant then developed a comprehensive cyber incident response plan, outlining clear steps for stakeholders and executives to take in the event of a breach. Finally, Zaviant began organizing and holding regular table top exercises based on realistic scenarios to help prepare company leadership for potential emergencies.
Later, Discount Tire realized it needed to implement a third-party risk management program, so Zaviant built one from the ground up. This included implementing ZenGRC, an industry-leading governance, risk, and compliance management platform, and vetting hundreds of vendors based on risk profile.
