Case Study: University of California San Francisco achieves modern, secure identity access with Bravura Security

University of California San Francisco Modernizes Secure Access

The University of California San Francisco faced replacing a decades‑old, mainframe‑based identity system that was deeply entangled with core university and hospital processes. Complex, cyclical onboarding and deactivations, unreliable data from multiple sources, a concurrent HR system migration requiring new identifiers, remote/distance learning risks, and constrained budgets made modernizing identity and access management a high‑stakes challenge. The university selected Bravura Security’s Bravura Identity solution to address these needs.

Bravura Security deployed Bravura Identity with password management, Active Directory and 100+ connectors, group and lifecycle management, access governance, Shibboleth federation and MFA, plus professional services and a phased testing approach. The single identity system enabled near‑time processing and automated provisioning/deprovisioning, improved attestation, self‑service and delegated administration, and campus adoption across nine departments—delivering notable time savings, reduced security risk, and “significantly improved flexibility, efficiency and governance” for the University of California San Francisco.
