"Businesses that are concerned with compliance mandates and ensuring the security and integrity of their IT systems cannot afford 12 to 18 month deployments. With IdentityIQ, organizations can gain immediate payback from automating key governance processes to better address business risk." Kevin Cunningham, Co-Founder and President, SailPoint
"As a publicly-traded company and financial services provider, we are subject to a variety of regulations including FISMA, SOX, PCI, and SAS 70. To meet these requirements, we are standardizing and automating our compliance processes for identity management, so that we can centrally control who gets access to sensitive resources and maintain compliance as the organization changes over time. This centralized and automated approach allows us to proactively address risk and more efficiently maintain a compliant, secure environment." Jerry Archer, Chief Security Officer, Sallie Mae |
PricewaterhouseCoopers and SailPoint Team to Help Companies Solve Identity Governance, Risk Management and Compliance ChallengesAUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 5, 2007 – Identity risk management software pioneer SailPoint Technologies, Inc. and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP today announced they will team to deliver comprehensive identity risk management solutions across the enterprise. PricewaterhouseCoopers identity and risk management experience, combined with Sailpoint's Compliance IQ technology will help address the needs of a growing market of organizations seeking to reduce the complexity, costs and risks associated with controlling and managing user access to sensitive applications and data. In a recent global security report from PricewaterhouseCoopers [1], 78 percent of surveyed organizations state they do not continuously classify data and information assets by risk level; and in a similar study commissioned by SailPoint, 82 percent of surveyed organizations acknowledged a risk-based approach to identity management would be more effective [2]. "Organizations who focus on a risk-based approach to solving the identity management challenge will realize greater value overall," said Jerry Lewis, principal and national identity management leader, PricewaterhouseCoopers. "It's time to trade today's costly ‘boil the ocean' identity management approach that treats all users and resources equally for a fresh, cost-effective yet risk-mitigating approach that focuses efforts on those users and resources that represent the greatest business risk." The first single software product to create a 360-degree view of users, SailPoint's Compliance IQ correlates user activity to user access privileges and computes user risk scores to make it easy for organizations to identify, measure, and reduce the risk of fraud, theft or misuse of data. The concept of risk scoring is unique to SailPoint and helps organizations – no matter what level of identity governance maturity they have achieved – focus on and allocate controls and monitoring based on business risk. "We see a clear disconnect between what companies think they should do to effectively control and manage access and what they are doing," said SailPoint CEO Mark McClain. "Firms clearly appreciate the value of controlling access on a risk basis but don't view it as an attainable goal right now. That's why our relationship with PricewaterhouseCoopers is so important – together we are showing companies they can begin managing identity risk today, and we're giving them the tools they need to get there."
