It effectively streamlined our user access management processes, serving as a central hub within our enterprise ecosystem. With various credentialing IdentityIQ access management solutions in place across the organization, SailPoint integrated seamlessly with these systems. It ingested events from these sources, generated reports, and initiated outgoing events and triggers to facilitate appropriate actions based on user and supervisor actions.

The policy management and risk-scoring capabilities of SailPoint IdentityIQ greatly benefited our organization. While we primarily focused on policy enforcement based on written guidelines for identity lifecycle management, we didn't extensively utilize a risk-based approach, as that fell under a separate area of resource management. However, within the policy feature set, SailPoint provided robust options. We were able to categorize users into different groups, such as office users, retail channel users, and backend users. Additionally, we could apply role-based access controls and differentiate between temporary and permanent employees, full-time and part-time staff, and those with specific time-based access requirements or temporary assignments within the organization.

The implementation of IdentityIQ significantly impacted our IT audit and compliance activities. SailPoint was introduced in response to an audit observation, as no prior system was in place and everything relied on manual processes. This lack of automation resulted in gaps and oversights. Implementing SailPoint IdentityIQ for attestation and governance effectively addressed this audit observation and closed the compliance gap.

It played a crucial role in addressing a complex identity management challenge within our company, particularly in the area of credential cleanup. Given the large user population, a dedicated team within the IAM pillar focused on this task. Before SailPoint, it was common to encounter instances where user identities remained active even after individuals had moved roles or left the company. For example, credentials associated with finance or treasury functions would still be accessible, even if the user had transitioned to a different department. Similarly, sensitive data access, such as payroll and HR systems, posed risks if not appropriately managed post-employee departure. SailPoint streamlined the process of managing these identities, effectively identifying and addressing instances where inactive accounts lingered, sometimes for extended periods, thus enhancing overall security and compliance efforts.

We’ve used IdentityIQ to help customers update their ‘paper and spreadsheet’ based user access review processes. This has helped customers increase the efficiency of access reviews, reduce workload, increase oversight of access remediation as well as start to fulfill regulatory and audit compliance requirements that where previously unattainable.

We’ve seen organisations go from detecting and reviewing high-severity SOD Policy violations once or twice a year to being able to detect and remediate SOD violations in the same day. IdentityIQ provides the detection, enforcement and traceability to take the manual, paper-based policies into real automated rules.

Many of our customers have also used IdentityIQ to replace homegrown and out dated access request solutions (some even manual and paper based), as well as migrate away from expensive and difficult-to-implement provisioning systems. Implementing IdentityIQ has allowed customers to reduce the cost of on-boarding applications into enterprise access review and access request processes as well as tightly integrate access request and remediation with approval workflows and back-end provisioning.

Previously, when someone came on board, it took them almost a week or two to get access, to settle in, to be able to become productive. Now, with SailPoint, we can get all of that done within a few hours. It has decreased the onboarding process and increased productivity.
