Saviynt Partners with EY to Bolster Third-Party Identity Management

Saviynt, a cloud-native identity and governance platform solutions provider, entered into a collaboration with Ernst & Young (EY) to help better manage third-party identities and streamline administration of external staff throughout the identity lifecycle.

“The ability for an organization to interface with a third-party entity is important for many of our clients,” said Sam Tang, EY digital identity leader. “They rely on external workers to provide supplies, services and other functions critical to our client’s business. We believe the combination of Saviynt’s Identity Cloud technical solution and EY’s experience will help clients meet their identity and access management (IAM) needs. It will also potentially reduce cost, simplify and streamline operations and turn IAM into a true business enabler.”

EY’s IAM consulting experience provides understanding of client needs and strategies with IAM solution design. Saviynt’s technology is posed to solve those challenges, keeping the future in mind while developing solutions that can flex to accommodate future requirements and industry innovations.

The collaboration will allow clients to simplify onboarding and administration of external workforce, suppliers and other user relationships while also improving the user experience and risk management of the organizations that implement this solution.

It will also provide:

  • A delegated onboarding workflow
  • Integration with online identity-proofing vendors
  • Control over external users and their access
  • Incorporation of identity and organizational risk into access decisions
  • Insight into offboarding of external users

“The industry has historically lacked effective tools to manage external users and their access and many suboptimal homegrown solutions have been created in the process,” said Paul Zolfaghari, Saviynt president. “Saviynt’s answer for managing these external identities will greatly improve the administration of this critical user community throughout its entire lifecycle.”
