Case Study: General Communications, Inc. achieves SOX compliance and centralized access management with BeyondTrust PowerBroker Identity Services

GCI Stays Ahead of the Compliance Curve with PowerBroker Identity Services

General Communications, Inc. (GCI), a leading Alaska-based telecommunications provider, faced a compliance and security challenge as its IT environment grew from under 500 to 2,600 users. With large teams using generic admin accounts, GCI could not tie changes to individuals, creating SOX Section 404 audit risk and the need for scalable, auditable control over privileged access.

GCI deployed PowerBroker Identity Services integrated with Active Directory to centralize user and privilege management, enforce granular policies, and produce auditor-ready logs and reports. The solution automated server onboarding and access mapping, sped up system builds for DevOps, and enabled GCI to demonstrate SOX (and later PCI-DSS) compliance reliably while improving IT productivity and scalability.
