Access governance for a Fortune 500 distributor
SailPoint Identity Security Cloud streamlining access management and strengthening identity governance controls for a Fortune 500 distribution organisation.
The brief
A Fortune 500 distribution organisation needed to streamline access management and strengthen identity governance across a large, complex application estate. Onboarding users was slow, and governance controls were inconsistent.
They turned to SailPoint Identity Security Cloud to bring provisioning, certifications and role-based access under one governed platform — with HR systems as the authoritative source of identity.
- Onboard enterprise applications into a single governance platform.
- Stand up access certifications across the organisation.
- Implement role-based access control.
- Configure reliable provisioning workflows.
- Manage identity profiles consistently.
- Integrate cleanly with HR and directory sources.
Our approach
Our consultants contributed to the ISC implementation — onboarding enterprise applications, configuring provisioning workflows, and standing up RBAC and access certifications, with Workday and Oracle HRMS feeding authoritative identity data via SCIM 2.0 and REST.
Identity profile management and integration support tied the estate together so access stayed accurate as people joined, moved and left.
What we delivered
Enterprise application onboarding
Applications integrated into ISC for centralised governance.
Access certification setup
Periodic reviews to attest and right-size access.
RBAC implementation
Access granted by role for consistency and control.
Provisioning workflow configuration
Reliable, automated provisioning and de-provisioning.
Identity profile management
Consistent identity data across sources.
Integration support
HR and directory sources connected as authoritative inputs.
How we built it
We integrated authoritative HR sources (Workday, Oracle HRMS) and directories first, using SCIM 2.0 and REST so identity data was trustworthy before provisioning automation went live.
Provisioning workflows, RBAC and certification campaigns were configured and rolled out in phases, with integration support throughout to keep the estate consistent.
How it works
Source
HR systems feed authoritative identity data.
Onboard
Applications are integrated into ISC.
Provision
Workflows grant and revoke access by role.
Certify
Access certifications attest entitlements.
Sustain
Integration support keeps profiles accurate.
Anchoring identity to authoritative HR sources is what makes onboarding fast and governance trustworthy — access derives from role and employment status rather than ad-hoc requests. RBAC and certifications then keep entitlements right over time.
SCIM 2.0 and REST integration kept provisioning clean across a large, heterogeneous application estate.
The impact
User onboarding became faster and more consistent.
Governance controls strengthened across the estate.
Operational overhead in access management dropped.
Compliance visibility increased.
