Case Study: Leading US Financial Institution streamlines access approvals and compliance with Authomize

Automated Life Cycle Management and Streamlined Compliance for US Financial Institution

Leading US Financial Institution, a North American Nasdaq-traded financial services company with about 3,000 employees and dozens of branches worldwide, was relying on manual user access management that slowed provisioning to an average of 11 days. The IT and security team needed a faster, more scalable way to manage permissions across Microsoft Office 365, AWS, Okta, Salesforce, and an internal payment system, while improving compliance and audit readiness. Authomize’s identity and access management automation was selected to help streamline these lifecycle workflows.

Authomize automated the company’s Joiner, Mover, Leaver processes, integrated with Jira Service Desk and key cloud applications, and added data-driven approval recommendations plus lightweight recertification for ongoing compliance. As a result, the financial institution cut access approval time from 11 days to 3 days, automated 30% of the permissions management effort, and saved roughly 1 FTE on the IT ops team. Authomize also helped the company pass an access audit more smoothly with less manual effort.
