Case Study: Currys achieves reduced identity risk and faster access automation with SailPoint Technologies

Currys reduces its risk profile and automates identity security with SailPoint

Currys, the London-based retailer with more than 28,000 employees across eight countries, struggled with slow, manual identity and access management processes, including provisioning, de-provisioning, mover changes, and auditing. Before SailPoint Technologies, the company relied on Excel files and duplicated accounts, which created delays, overprovisioned access, and difficulty proving access risk and compliance.

Currys implemented SailPoint Technologies’ Access Risk Management, Provisioning, Separation of Duties, and Access Certification capabilities, integrating with SAP, ServiceNow, and other systems. The result was faster, more accurate access changes in minutes instead of days, stronger audit trails, and better visibility into user privileges; Currys also reported saving 210 hours of manual effort annually across four applications and reducing not-executed risk by over 78%.
