Case studies

Representative examples of the identity challenges we solve and the outcomes we help our clients achieve. Client names are withheld to respect confidentiality.

Manufacturing

Streamlining access certification for a global manufacturer

Challenge
Quarterly access reviews took weeks of manual effort across spreadsheets, and auditors struggled to validate segregation-of-duties controls.
Solution
We deployed an identity governance platform with automated recertification and fine-grained segregation-of-duties policies, integrated with the client's HR and ERP systems.
Results
  • Cut the manual effort behind quarterly access reviews
  • Enabled internal audit to validate controls far more quickly
  • Eliminated orphaned accounts left behind by role and HR changes
Healthcare

Reducing phishing-related compromises for a healthcare network

Challenge
Clinicians faced repeated logins and password fatigue, while phishing attacks led to frequent account compromises.
Solution
We implemented single sign-on and adaptive MFA that steps up authentication only when risk signals warrant it, preserving clinician productivity.
Results
  • Sharply reduced phishing-related account compromises
  • Removed the repeated logins that frustrated clinical staff
  • Strengthened security posture without slowing patient care
Energy and Utilities

Curbing standing privileged access for a utilities operator

Challenge
Administrators held broad, permanent access to critical systems, with little visibility into privileged session activity.
Solution
We introduced credential vaulting, just-in-time elevation, and full session recording for administrative access.
Results
  • Significantly reduced standing privileged access
  • Brought administrative access under continuous monitoring
  • Accelerated the path to compliance
Retail

Consolidating fragmented identity systems for a global retailer

Challenge
Fragmented identity systems acquired through growth and acquisitions blocked omnichannel initiatives and inflated operating costs.
Solution
Following a focused assessment, we delivered a multi-year roadmap and led the consolidation of identity stores onto a unified platform.
Results
  • Consolidated fragmented identity stores onto a unified platform
  • Lowered ongoing IAM operating costs
  • Unblocked omnichannel customer initiatives
Financial Services

Making audit preparation repeatable for a fintech

Challenge
Preparing for PCI DSS and SOC 2 audits required weeks of manual evidence gathering and last-minute remediation.
Solution
We implemented a continuous compliance dashboard that maps controls to identity data and collects evidence automatically.
Results
  • Reduced the back-and-forth cycles with auditors
  • Eliminated last-minute remediation before audits
  • Lowered ongoing compliance effort for the security team
Life Sciences

Accelerating partner onboarding for a pharmaceutical firm

Challenge
Onboarding research partners across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud took weeks and risked inconsistent, over-provisioned access.
Solution
We implemented identity federation and automated role-based provisioning across all three cloud providers.
Results
  • Dramatically accelerated partner onboarding across clouds
  • Enforced least-privilege access consistently across clouds
  • Met GxP compliance requirements
Education

Automating student and staff identity for a university

Challenge
Each term, manually creating and disabling accounts for large populations of students and staff delayed access and left dormant accounts active long after enrollment ended.
Solution
We implemented automated, policy-driven identity lifecycle management integrated with the student information and HR systems, with single sign-on across campus applications.
Results
  • Automated account provisioning at the start of each term
  • Automatically disabled dormant accounts at the end of enrollment
  • Gave students and staff single sign-on across campus systems
