Case Study Information

  • Company Name : Leading Global Retail Chain
  • Challenge: The company operated thousands of stores worldwide with a mix of in-store employees, corporate staff, and third-party vendors accessing different systems. Weak IAM policies led to unauthorized access to point-of-sale (POS) systems, increasing the risk of fraud and data breaches.
  • Solution: The retailer implemented Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) to automate access provisioning and deprovisioning. They introduced Privileged Access Management (PAM) for critical systems and integrated MFA across all platforms.
Outcome:
  • Reduced fraud incidents by 45%
  • Improved efficiency in onboarding and offboarding employees
  • Strengthened compliance with PCI-DSS

Strengthening IAM in a Retail Enterprise

By overhauling its Identity and Access Management (IAM) framework with advanced IGA and PAM solutions, the leading global retail chain significantly mitigated security risks and streamlined internal processes. The integration of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) across platforms ensured an added layer of security, drastically reducing fraud and unauthorized access. This transformation not only enhanced operational efficiency but also reinforced the retailer’s compliance posture, setting a strong foundation for secure and scalable growth in a complex, multi-user environment.
