Case Study: WM Gruppe fortifies server admin accounts and saves hours with One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Passwords

WM Gruppe fortifies server admin accounts while saving hours of work using Safeguard

WM Gruppe, a Germany-based financial-services media company, needed to strengthen privileged account management to protect its API-connected systems and meet tightening regulatory expectations. Facing manual PAM across roughly 800 applications that caused delayed password changes, poor reporting and security risk, WM Gruppe selected One Identity and its One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Passwords to close those gaps.

Working with One Identity (and partner Patecco for deployment), WM Gruppe automated PAM workflows, introduced privileged session recording, enforced approval workflows and set overnight password rotations. The One Identity solution automated about 80% of PAM tasks, delivered a reported 100% improvement in PAM discipline and governance, saved hours of manual work and gave the company significantly greater transparency and control.
