Case Study: a major United States energy provider achieves NERC CIP compliance with Simeio's centralized identity solution

a major United States energy provider migrates 11,000 identities with Simeio

A major United States energy provider faced significant challenges in meeting strict NERC CIP regulatory compliance due to a manual, non-scalable identity and access management (IAM) program. Their complex infrastructure, further complicated by a recent merger, lacked centralized governance and automated controls. To address this, they partnered with vendor Simeio to modernize their IAM and achieve audit readiness.

Simeio implemented a comprehensive solution by expanding the client's SailPoint identity governance platform and integrating CyberArk’s Privilege Cloud for centralized privileged access management. This involved migrating over 11,000 identities and onboarding 120+ applications. The solution delivered transformative results, including the definition of over 700 roles for access control, dramatically improved audit readiness, and a secure, scalable IAM program that significantly reduced operational risk for the energy provider.
