How an $8B unicorn fostered a culture of data protection among key company stakeholders while experiencing a 338% growth .

Project overview

From the start, ServiceTitan appealed to the home and commercial service industries as a disruptor to an industry traditionally underserved by software.

But like most startups experiencing rapid adoption, ServiceTitan found it necessary to match their growth with a brand promise of security and privacy. Without enterprise-grade security, ServiceTitan would put at risk the thousands of small business owners that find their platform mission-critical for their day-to-day success.

Our client knew that having a best-in-class security team would not be enough to achieve their goal, and set forward to create a culture of cybersecurity that included every department in the company, not just technology

PROBLEM

From the start, our client appealed to the home and commercial service industries as a disruptor to an industry traditionally underserved by software.

But like most startups experiencing rapid adoption, ServiceTitan found it necessary to match their growth with a brand promise of security and privacy. Without enterprise-grade security, ServiceTitan would put at risk the thousands of small business owners that find their platform mission-critical for their day-to-day success.

Our client knew that having a best-in-class security team would not be enough to achieve their goal, and set forward to create a culture of cybersecurity that included every department in the company, not just technology

SOLUTION

Our client chose VioletX to collaborate as they embarked to solidify trust in their brand, self-audit across teams and identify holes in their processes and procedures that could put their customer data at stake in 2019 and again in 2020.

The cybersecurity team, with full-support of our client's founders, created a cybersecurity culture to match the quality of the platform.

VioletX helped our client to bring together leaders across the company to self-audit through a simulated incident response exercise. VioletX provided departmental-specific recommendations and action items that ServiceTitan could immediately implement as an integrated team, all while improving cybersecurity.

Project results

Executive-level support and buy-in has allowed our client to be an innovator in every aspect of their business and experience 338% growth. Cybersecurity is an example of the execution of quality that has led to their success.

Our client has been able to quickly achieve an actively engaged cybersecurity culture that spans over 900 employees at both a macro and micro-level of operation.

The security leadership team is able to work in the role of an ally to business leaders across the company. The result of this is a deeper understanding of the importance of each team member in protecting ServiceTitan as a product and community.

Cybersecurity has, and will continue to be, an important part of ServiceTitan's offering to new and existing customers. Their comprehensive investment into cybersecurity and data protection allows them to realize their brand promise.

Policies, procedures, programs and tools have been built across numerous departments of the company, creating a continuously-improving protection to both internal and external customers.

Security exercises have proven to reinforce the internal culture as it drives towards a shared vision and goal. Additionally, they allow ServiceTitan to move forward with educated confidence and continuous insights into opportunities for preparedness.

I’ve worked with VioletX across 2 companies now and they’ve provided thorough guidance, documentation and training that has allowed us improve our security policies and process. In healthcare, security is such an important component and VioletX helped us to get a deep, nuanced understanding so we could know where we’re at today and how to enhance our system as our business grows.

Service Titan

An incident response plan is critical for any business to continue operations in the event of an emergency, especially in the case of a cybersecurity attack. Using realistic scenarios, VioletX's insights helped ServiceTitan staff to understand the nuances that result in a successful incident response. One that reduces downtime, maintains public trust, and follows regulatory compliance.

Working with VioletX is a great experience. They are responsive, collaborative and knowledgeable during all stages of our engagement. I am very grateful for their willingness to educate not only me but my entire company on the importance of cybersecurity. Ten out of ten would recommend to others!

VioletX does not try to force fit us into a rigid philosophy. When we found them, we had turned down many vendors. They were the first to say, "We are going to build something that fits you."

My leadership team told me that we were
passively shopping to be acquired. Things moved fast and I needed backup.  VioletX professionalized our program in month.

Working with a Virtual CISO has given me the opportunity to take on cyber for my company. Vx fills in the blanks of information I don't know and I can take it from there.

I like to approve of every legal agreement that leaves our company. That said, hiring VioletX has been a huge weight off. I trust them to navigate customer closes for me.
