Case Study: Sanofi achieves automated onboarding for 100,000 employees and global identity security with SailPoint Technologies

Sanofi Secures Users Across the Globe

Sanofi, a Paris‑based healthcare company with more than 100,000 employees operating in 170 countries, faced scalability and security risks from manual identity processes. Slow, manual onboarding and offboarding created delays and inefficiencies for IT and end users, and inadequate governance threatened compliance in a highly regulated industry.

Sanofi partnered with SailPoint to harmonize and automate access lifecycle management, secure employee access to applications, and meet regulatory requirements. The program now automates onboarding and offboarding for 100,000 employees, enabling a scalable identity governance framework and stronger compliance across the enterprise.
