PlainID Announces Strategic Alliance with PwC

PlainID, also known as “The Authorization Company,” a provider of authorization and policy-based access solutions, announced a strategic partnership with PwC, a professional services firm focusing on environmental, social and governance (ESG) professional services.

The Amsterdam-based PwC firm operates as the “IAM Center Of Excellence” within the EMEA region for digital identity services. When companies work with PwC’s Digital Identity team, they gain access to profession-leading digital identity solutions and practices in strategy, operational transformation, governance and insights, process, control and reporting.

Adding PlainID to its fold will allow PwC to extend the IAM portfolio into the policy-based digital identity domain, recognizing that PlainID is a core component of zero trust architecture.

PlainID, which recently announced its Authorization-as-a-Service, SaaS-enabled Authorization Platform, helps businesses advance and modernize by simply and securely connecting people with the digital assets they need to do their jobs, accomplish tasks at scale, and conduct digital commerce. By making authorization decisions simple, smart, granular, and dynamic, PlainID helps enterprises control who can access what, when, and how on whose authority.

“Zero trust is becoming the de-facto security model for securing the enterprise organization and authorization management and control is a crucial part of the zero-trust architecture,” said Gal Helemski, CTO and co-founder, PlainID. “Working together with PwC enables us to define how to best build authorizations as part of the zero-trust initiative. PwC brings experience, knowledge and professionalism to security and IAM practices.”
