The High Stakes of Digital Identity in a Hyper-Connected World

In today's borderless digital ecosystem, identity is the new perimeter. Managing who has access to what, when, and why is no longer just an IT task—it's a critical business function that directly impacts your security, compliance, and bottom line. Getting it wrong is not an option.

Escalating Security Threats

80% of data breaches involve compromised credentials. Sophisticated phishing, insider threats, and attacks on cloud infrastructure make legacy security models obsolete. A single weak password can be catastrophic.

Crushing Compliance Burdens

Navigating the alphabet soup of regulations (GDPR, HIPAA, SOX, PCI DSS) is a nightmare. Manual access reviews are slow, error-prone, and can result in multi-million dollar fines and reputational damage.

Operational & UX Friction

Password fatigue, slow employee onboarding/offboarding, and clunky login experiences kill productivity and frustrate users. Your identity system should be an enabler, not a roadblock to business agility.

Real-World Results: Our IAM Solutions in Action

Securing Patient Data and Streamlining Clinician Access for a Regional Hospital Network

Client Overview: A mid-sized healthcare provider with 15 hospitals and over 100 clinics, struggling with HIPAA compliance and inefficient access management for its 10,000+ clinicians and staff.

The Problem: Their manual, ticket-based system for granting access to Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and other clinical applications was slow, error-prone, and created significant audit risks. Onboarding a new physician could take up to a week, hindering patient care.

Key Challenges:

  • Ensuring strict, role-based access to Protected Health Information (PHI).
  • Providing fast, secure access for physicians and nurses from any device.
  • Generating accurate audit reports for HIPAA compliance.
  • Reducing the burden on the IT helpdesk for password resets.

Our Solution:

CIS designed and deployed a holistic, AI-enabled IAM platform tailored for the healthcare environment:

  • Implemented SSO and contextual MFA for secure, one-click access to the EMR and other key applications.
  • Deployed an IGA solution to automate role-based provisioning based on data from their HR system.
  • Established automated access certification campaigns, requiring managers to review their team's access quarterly.
  • Integrated identity analytics to monitor for anomalous access to sensitive patient data.

Positive Outcomes:

95% Reduction in Access-Related Audit Findings
72% Faster Clinician Onboarding (from 5 days to 1)
60% Decrease in Password-Related Helpdesk Tickets

"CIS transformed our security and compliance posture. Our clinicians are happier, our data is more secure, and we can finally prove compliance with confidence."

Jenna ClayCISO, Regional Healthcare Provider

Mitigating Insider Threats at a Global Investment Bank with Privileged Access Management

Client Overview: A large financial services firm with over $500 billion in assets under management. Their IT infrastructure spanned multiple data centers and public clouds, managed by a global team of system administrators, database admins, and DevOps engineers.

The Problem: The firm faced immense pressure to comply with SOX and other financial regulations. Their biggest security gap was the lack of control and visibility over privileged accounts, which posed a significant risk of insider threats and catastrophic data breaches.

Key Challenges:

  • Eliminating shared administrator passwords.
  • Monitoring and recording all privileged sessions for forensic analysis.
  • Enforcing least privilege for DevOps teams in the cloud.
  • Securing third-party vendor access to critical systems.

Our Solution:

CIS implemented a comprehensive Privileged Access Management (PAM) program built on a leading platform:

  • Onboarded thousands of critical systems into a secure credential vault, enforcing automated password rotation.
  • Deployed a privileged session manager to record and audit all administrative activities in real-time.
  • Implemented just-in-time (JIT) access controls for cloud environments, granting temporary elevated privileges.
  • Created a secure remote access solution for vendors that isolated their sessions and limited their access.

Positive Outcomes:

80% Reduction in Privileged Access Standing Risk
100% Visibility into Privileged Sessions for Audits
4x Faster Forensic Investigations

"The control and visibility we now have over our most critical accounts is night and day. CIS's expertise in PAM was instrumental in getting this complex project done right."

Marcus DyerHead of IT Security, Global Investment Bank

Building a Scalable CIAM Platform to Reduce Churn for a High-Growth SaaS Company

Client Overview: A B2B SaaS startup providing marketing automation software. After a successful funding round, they were experiencing explosive user growth, but their homegrown authentication system was unreliable and causing customer frustration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Think of it as layers of security. **IAM (Identity and Access Management)** is the foundation, focusing on authentication (who you are - e.g., SSO, MFA) and authorization (what you can access). **IGA (Identity Governance and Administration)** adds a layer of control and automation on top, managing the identity lifecycle (onboarding/offboarding) and answering the "why" of access through reviews and certifications. **PAM (Privileged Access Management)** is a specialized control for your most powerful accounts (admins, root), securing their credentials and monitoring their high-risk activities.

The timeline varies based on complexity, but we follow a phased approach to deliver value quickly. A foundational project, like implementing SSO for a set of core applications, can take as little as 4-6 weeks. A comprehensive IGA or PAM implementation can range from 3 to 9 months. Our initial roadmap engagement provides a detailed, realistic timeline tailored to your specific goals.

We are platform-agnostic, which is a key advantage for our clients. We maintain deep, certified expertise across all major platforms, including Microsoft (Entra ID), Okta, Ping Identity, CyberArk, SailPoint, and ForgeRock, as well as open-source solutions. This allows us to recommend and implement the technology that is genuinely the best fit for your technical and business requirements, without vendor bias.

Our AI models add a predictive layer that traditional, rule-based systems lack. They establish a baseline of normal behavior for each user and entity. When deviations occur—like a user logging in from an unusual location at an odd time and trying to access sensitive files—the AI flags it as high-risk in real-time. This allows us to automate responses, such as triggering step-up MFA or notifying security teams, to stop potential breaches before they happen.

Absolutely. Legacy IAM modernization is one of our core competencies. We have a proven methodology for migrating from platforms like Oracle Access Manager, CA SiteMinder, and IBM Tivoli to modern, cloud-native solutions. Our process includes automated policy and application discovery, phased user migration, and co-existence strategies to ensure a smooth, zero-downtime transition.
