Case Study: Leading HR Software Company protects 93% of employees from phishing with Beyond Identity Secure Workforce

HR software startup protects 93% of employees from phishing attacks with Secure Workforce

Leading HR Software Company, a growing HR software startup of about 700 employees (roughly 90% remote/hybrid), faced rising risk from phishing, rapid headcount growth, and widespread use of non‑corporate devices. The Senior Director of IT and Security sought a scalable, user‑friendly way to remove passwords, meet compliance and testing goals, and enforce device policies without intrusive MDM — and evaluated Beyond Identity’s passwordless solution, Beyond Identity Secure Workforce.

Beyond Identity implemented Secure Workforce via a proof‑of‑concept and aggressive rollout integrated with Okta and Jamf, enabling phishing‑resistant, passwordless authentication tied to device posture. The deployment enrolled 93% of employees within three weeks (700 users on passwordless auth), allowed the company to disable browser password managers, and enforce corporate‑device only access and posture checks (encryption, antivirus, OS updates) — substantially reducing phishing exposure and shrinking the potential breach blast radius.
