Case Study: Husson University achieves automated batch account updates and stronger initial‑login security with PortalGuard

Husson University - Customer Case Study

Husson University, a small higher-education institution in Bangor, ME (700–1,000 users), faced insecure onboarding and stale account data. New accounts were issued formulaic initial passwords with no expiration and personal fields (address, phone, etc.) didn’t update automatically, forcing manual IT updates and complicating integration with their CAMS/Active Directory workflows.

Husson deployed PortalGuard on premises to require forced enrollment with mandatory knowledge-based authentication and to enforce a customizable password policy, eliminating lingering weak starter passwords. PortalGuard’s automated batch import (CSV) and scheduled synchronization integrated with their CAMS/AD setup to keep user attributes current, resulting in stronger initial login security, up-to-date account records, and reduced administrative overhead.
