Healthcare
We’re experts at helping healthcare organizations achieve compliance and keep patient’s data safe
Healthcare organizations by their very nature are complex and require massive technology to deliver good patient outcomes. Workforce identity in healthcare is often a mixture of different affiliations and legal relationships that require mature solutions to manage and automate the systems and processes while ensuring policy enforcement across all systems. A mixture of high regulation, a wide range of technology requirements, and the sensitive nature of the data that must be protected all call for a strong partner to help navigate the IAM journey. We can help your healthcare organization:
⦿ Identify risks and develop an IAM strategy
⦿ Add multiple layers of security with MFA and SSO
⦿ Centralize employee identities to simplify lifecycle management
⦿ Improve user/patient experience through automation
⦿ Protect patient data from ransomware attacks
⦿ Replace legacy IAM tools when appropriate

Industries
Energy / Utilities
We have extensive experience helping the Energy space create effective IAM programs
Energy and Utility companies have to balance the needs of information technology with a highly regulated and complex operational technology infrastructure. This requires the ability to flex IAM tools to enforce policy and automate process, while at the same time enforcing security controls across multiple environments.
Integral Partners has helped many utility and energy companies with this balancing act. Implementing IAM so that both IT and OT is provided services it needs to effectively enforce policy, while also increasing efficiency of identity and access tasks. We can also help replace aging technology that now struggles to meet the demands of the business.
⦿ Map out IT-controlled technology and NERC-CIP regulated segments of the business
⦿ Tie policy, processes, and controls, to IAM objectives
⦿ Replace legacy IAM tools when appropriate
⦿ Ensure compliance with NERC, PCI, NIST, and other regulations
⦿ Be prepared for government and private sector audits for IAM
⦿ Protect high value assets with better management of privileged access
⦿ Enforce user privacy and organizational policy

Industries
Banking / Finance
We’ve got experience helping protect valuable intellectual property and building complaint IAM programs
Banking and Finance have long been on the forefront of many technical innovations. This is driven by the competitive advantage of velocity as well as the highly regulated nature of finance that requires strict auditing and reporting. As all industries have moved into modern IAM and away from legacy monolithic systems, many banking and finance organizations have struggled to best implement an approach to IAM that is different than the legacy models used to manage huge user sets and entitlements.
Integral Partners is well versed in the best approaches to implement modern IAM in these environments. We can develop a strategy that complies to regulatory needs, improves operations, and introduces new capabilities to improve user experience.
⦿ Identify how IAM is currently managed to understand maturity
⦿ Enforce user privacy and organizational policy
⦿ Legacy systems: Map use cases supported and gaps
⦿ Replace legacy IAM tools with modern solutions
⦿ Ensure compliance with SOX, NIST, and other regulations
⦿ Be prepared for government and private sector audits for IAM
⦿ Implement/refresh PAM to protect high value assets
⦿ Improve the customer experience
Industries
Insurance
We understand how to create IAM programs in this complex and highly regulated space
The industry by its very nature is massively complex, with financial and insurance instruments being managed across organizations and technology built for significant relational requirements as well as SOX, privacy, NIST, and other industry frameworks that require tight controls throughout these use cases.
In addition, the insurance industry has very active M&A activities. The changing organization must keep a handle on the operations and practical needs of the merged or separated businesses, all the while still enforcing necessary security and policy.
Integral Partners has helped insurance clients navigate these waters to determine the best approach to not only deal with current challenges by maturing IAM, but also prepare for organizational changes that inevitably impact identity and access in very significant ways.
Industries
Manufacturing
Integral Partners can build an IAM program that caters to the unique needs of manufacturing infrastructure
Manufacturing companies must balance the needs of information technology with a complex operational technology infrastructure. This highly regulated field has required the ability to flex IAM tools to enforce policy and automate process, while at the same time enforcing security controls across multiple environments. In addition, user and identity needs in each environment are very different and require specific strategies to best support IAM needs in each.
Integral Partners has helped many manufacturing companies with this balancing act. Implementing IAM so that both IT and OT is provided services it needs to effectively enforce policy, while also increasing efficiency of identity and access tasks. The application of IAM to OT and SCADA equipment can be a challenge, due to the unique user needs for manufacturing infrastructure as previously mentioned, as well as the variety of devices and systems that manufacturing relies upon.
Integral Partners can help develop a plan that takes this into account and can provide guidance on how to address unique use cases this industry has to manage.
Industries
Higher Education
Leverage our experience in addressing the unique challenges that higher education places on their IAM programs
Higher Education is experiencing massive transformation on many fronts. The sudden shift to online learning, the changing treatment of students as customers in order to improve the critical need for improved user experience as a competitive advantage, as well as an often-sprawling technology landscape with massively varied technology needs across the campus. The decentralized nature of higher education across schools and colleges can present a challenge when centralizing and application of consistent policy is a priority. Integral Partners can help navigate these challenges.
⦿ Strategic systems migration support
⦿ Replace open-sourced legacy tools with modern solutions
⦿ CIAM solutions that treat students as “customers”
⦿ Support regulatory compliance (FERPA, HIPAA, SEVIS, etc.)
⦿ Managing non-workforce relationships (affiliates, vendors, etc.)
Case Study:
Creating an IAM program at Southern New Hampshire University
The Integral Partners team delivered a detailed diagram of SNHU’s system architecture, a prioritized roadmap, and best-fit solution recommendations. Our Advisory team demonstrated how two applications — Sailpoint’s IdentityNow (for students) and IdentityIQ (for staff) — would best manage the lifecycle requirements and active directory needs of the university’s diverse populations.
At the crux of this solution is an intelligent architecture for how all the applications — Colleague, Banner, SalesForce, IdentityNow, ServiceNow, and more — work together.
Industries
Retail
Integral Partners can build an IAM program that supports the many use cases that Retail presents
The retail industry manages a complex web of corporate shared services and distributed locations, with unique use cases to support financial transactions, inventory, customer needs, and delivering profits to the business. This environment requires an innovative approach to engage with each business segment and build an IAM program that supports each unique set of requirements.
In addition to functional differences across technology, user needs are very different from one segment of retail business to the next. Integral Partners can help you understand what those needs are, build a strategy to meet those needs – improving operations and reducing risk.
Having IAM in place to support diverse needs such as supply chain, customer identity, compliance, and security is critical to staying competitive and reducing overhead.
Industries
Logistics / Transportation
Building compliant IAM programs that increase operational efficiency and reduce risk
Very few fields have grown in importance in our modern age as much as logistics have. A well-coordinated and orchestrated logistics operation is the heartbeat of the economy, making sure all other industries can continue in their business of delivering to clients and customers.
Modern logistics uses advanced technologies and complex data models to optimize business. IAM needs to be implemented in a way that accelerates this approach, rather than hamper the velocity the work must be delivered at. In addition, IAM needs to offer significant operational gains to stay competitive with other companies and remain at the forefront of their industry.
Integral Partners has assisted logistics companies in understanding IAM across their use case needs and developing a strategy to support increased efficiency while still reducing risk and complying with regulatory requirements.
