Case Study: PriceSmart streamlines access reviews and improves audit readiness with C1 Partners

PriceSmart cuts access reviews from 3 months to 2-3 weeks with C1 Partners

PriceSmart, a retail company operating membership warehouse clubs across 13 countries, needed a better way to manage access governance across a hybrid environment spanning legacy systems like JD Edwards on IBM iSeries and modern cloud platforms such as AWS and Azure. Before working with C1 Partners, access reviews were handled manually with spreadsheets, emails, and PDF reports, making quarterly reviews slow, reactive, and difficult to audit.

C1 Partners implemented its identity governance solution to connect legacy and cloud systems in one streamlined review process. The result was a dramatic improvement: quarterly access reviews dropped from about three months to two to three weeks, manager review time fell from multiple hours to less than 30 minutes, and PriceSmart gained better visibility into access risks, stronger audit readiness, and a more proactive security posture.
