Case Study: a multi-state, international IDN achieves stronger privileged access control with Impact Advisors' Privileged Access Management program

a multi-state, international IDN eliminates shadow admin access with Impact Advisors

Impact Advisors assisted a multi-state, international integrated delivery network that faced a critical security gap due to thousands of unmanaged privileged accounts across its complex IT environment. The organization lacked a formal Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution and relied on manual processes for systems like Epic, creating significant cyber risk and regulatory pressure.

Impact Advisors established an enterprise PAM program, beginning with a full identity discovery and a phased deployment focused on high-risk accounts. The solution provided complete visibility, eliminated shadow access, and implemented credential vaulting and just-in-time access. This resulted in a measurable reduction of the identity-related attack surface and automated governance workflows for executive reporting.
