Case Study: Ingevity achieves compliance and automates emergency access management with SailPoint Technologies

Ingevity Achieves Compliance by Automating Emergency Access Management

Ingevity, a South Carolina–based supplier of specialty chemicals and activated carbon with 1,750 employees across 25 locations, needed to implement a governance, risk and compliance (GRC) solution from scratch to meet Sarbanes‑Oxley requirements. As a cloud‑first, newly public company, they sought a SaaS platform that minimized reimplementation cost and time to deploy while reducing the burden on a one‑person SAP security team for managing elevated access risks.

Ingevity selected SailPoint’s cloud identity platform to automate emergency access lifecycles—requesting, approving, granting, auditing and automatic revocation—providing detailed audit trails and granular change visibility. The SaaS deployment delivered rapid time‑to‑value (results in under a month), supported over 600 compliant emergency account checkouts, enabled removal of more than 3,000 conflicting, unused roles, and lowered total cost of ownership while meeting compliance goals.
