Case Study: University Of Leeds achieves automated identity security and onboarding/offboarding with SailPoint Technologies

The University of Leeds makes a difference with identity security

The University of Leeds needed a stronger identity security strategy to protect sensitive data, improve compliance, and reduce cybersecurity risk, but its homegrown identity and access management system had become complex and lacked a single source of identity. The university also struggled with manual joiner, mover, and leaver processes and wanted to move toward role-based access, prompting it to modernize with SailPoint Technologies.

SailPoint Technologies provided a SaaS identity security solution that gave the University of Leeds a single source of identity and helped automate onboarding and offboarding. The new platform reduced manual work, improved control and auditability, and is helping the university streamline processes, eliminate errors, and strengthen compliance, with additional capabilities like role-based access and recertification now being evaluated.
