Transitioning an Insurance Provider from On-Premises to SaaS-based Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) Platform

Overview

 

Adopting a Cloud-First Strategy
 

A leading insurance services provider was heavily utilizing an on-premise identity governance and administration (IGA) platform to manage and secure identities within their complex environment. Driven by an enterprise-wide cloud-first strategy, the client wanted to transition into a SaaS-based IGA platform.


The requirement was to upgrade their on-premise infrastructure and operational needs into a modern IGA platform with the latest and greatest Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) capabilities.


Since the client needed a trusted advisor with proven expertise in IGA and migrating to a cloud-based identity security solution, they turned to Optiv. Optiv was already involved in helping the client with their on-premise IGA platform and well-acquainted with their environment.

 

 

How Optiv Helped

 

Collaborating with SailPoint for Identity-Centric Security
 

Optiv played a pivotal role in migrating the client’s existing capabilities from SailPoint IdentityIQ (IIQ) to Identity Security Cloud (ISC) and identifying areas of enhancements in their IGA processes and identity data.


The team refined and simplified the processes and identity data by migrating the existing features, infrastructure, configurations and workflows from SailPoint IIQ to ISC, while cleaning up identity data such as roles, profiles and more.


To accelerate the migration, Optiv experts established an operating model for leveraging the toolsets available with SailPoint and led the way with setting up roles and responsibilities and an operating model to utilize the toolsets and build efficiencies into the process.
