The challenge
Sensitive research data, regulated manufacturing systems, and an external partner network each had separate access controls. Auditors needed a complete trail across borders, while different countries imposed distinct data-protection rules. Over-provisioned, long-lived accounts were a constant compliance and breach risk.
The solution
- A single identity platform spanning internal researchers, manufacturing operators, and external partners.
- Fine-grained access control with least-privilege roles per study, site, and partner organization.
- Immutable audit logging of every access event to satisfy regulators across each jurisdiction.
- SIEM and threat mitigation to detect anomalous access to research and supply-chain systems.

Results
Regulators receive a complete, exportable audit trail of who accessed what, when, and from where.
Standing privileges fell sharply as access became role-scoped and time-bound.
Partner organizations onboard through self-service with tightly scoped, revocable access.
Security teams detect and contain suspicious access to sensitive systems in real time.
“Identity used to be the slowest part of every partnership and audit. Now access is scoped, logged, and reversible by default — across every country we operate in.”
