Identity Security That Pays Off: Saviynt Customers Achieve 269% ROI

The world today is more complex than ever. Technology keeps evolving. The number and types of identities we must govern grow exponentially. Meanwhile, disparate environments and manual processes make most organizations’ identity security programs unnecessarily complicated.

And now, with AI part of, well, everything, the rules have been completely rewritten. AI cannot be secured or governed in the same way as traditional identities, and organizations must fundamentally reimagine their approach to identity security. Faced with a bar that is raised at every turn, properly securing an entire organization seems a nigh-impossible task.

But we at Saviynt know how transformational identity security can be. We see it countless times with our customers. But the true value and impact of a robust, innovative identity security program — and the platform that underpins it — is often hidden or misunderstood.

Today, we’re excited to release The Total Value & Impact of the Saviynt Identity Platform report to quantify our platform’s impact and help others understand the challenges it addresses and the benefits organizations reap. Let’s take a closer look at the findings from this report.

Key Findings

• Saviynt customers achieve 269% ROI with payback in under nine months, according to The Total Value & Impact of the Saviynt Identity Platform report.
• The platform delivers $29.5M in total benefits and $18.3M in net present value over three years.
• Customers save 577,000 hours by automating joiner/mover/leaver workflows and access reviews across human, non-human, and AI identities.
• Revoking 1,954 overprovisioned licenses cuts direct software spend and reduces standing access risk.
• Consolidating point solutions onto a single platform eliminates tool sprawl and shrinks identity blind spots.

The Total Value & Impact of the Saviynt Identity Platform

The Saviynt Identity Platform delivers a 269% return on investment with payback in under nine months. Over three years, customers realize $29.5M in total benefits, $18.3M in net present value, 577,000 hours saved, and 1,954 overprovisioned licenses revoked across productivity, compliance, cost, and security.

•    Overall benefits: $29,500,000
•    Net Present Value: $18,300,000
•    Return on Investment: 269%
•    Payback: <9 months
•    Hours saved: 577,000
•    Overprovisioned licenses revoked: 1,954

Benefit breakdown (three-year term)

Of course, these numbers don’t recognize all the unquantifiable benefits of implementing the Saviynt Identity Platform. Improved processes and automation certainly save users hours (and frustration). But they also drastically lower organizational risk and empower the business to accomplish even more. Below are just some of the benefits our customers enjoy:

•    Faster, more secure AI adoption
•    Increase identity security posture
•    Lower organizational risk
•    Continuous compliance
•    Reduced tool sprawl
•    Better data analysis

Where does identity security ROI actually come from?

Identity security ROI comes from four categories: enterprise productivity gains from automated joiner/mover/leaver workflows, audit and compliance readiness through streamlined access reviews, cost optimization from consolidating point solutions, and a stronger security posture from unified visibility across every identity — human, non-human, and AI.

The key benefits of the Saviynt Identity Platform

Understanding the true impact of a Saviynt-empowered identity security program requires diving into each of these four main categories.

How Saviynt accelerates enterprise productivity

The benefits of improved productivity are the easiest to understand and quantify: hours saved, monetary value, and key milestones (such as day one productivity) are all easily tracked and compared. But regardless of how easily these metrics are gathered, what’s important to understand is their impact.

For instance, when every identity — human, non-human, or AI — and application is onboarded quickly, easily, and at scale through AI-powered workflows into the Saviynt Identity Platform, bottlenecks are eliminated, and users become productive sooner. Plus, streamlined joiner/mover/leaver (JML) processes ensure that identities’ access is granted and, more importantly, removed as their roles change within the organization.

From the very start, Saviynt brought flexibility and responsiveness. Their team [came] up with solutions that made it faster and easier to onboard users across a complex environment that included a large number of seasonal workers,” said one Advisory Managing Director for Cyber Security Services.

Staying audit-ready without the manual grind

To be truly ready for audits and compliance mandates, organizations must have the processes — especially automated ones — to make their endeavors efficient. When audit preparation (including evidence collection) and access review cycles are streamlined for every identity in your organization (including AI), audit cycles are no longer the months-long headache that bogs down your entire team.

The Saviynt Identity Platform helps you take out the middleman and eliminate manual processes. Our intelligent identity security platform uses your identity data to understand what is and isn’t risky, allowing your business users to auto-approve low- or no-risk requests. This reduces rubberstamping and paves the way for quicker, more accurate certification cycles.

Cutting costs by consolidating your identity stack

Enterprise complexity isn’t just a problem that arose from inefficient processes; it’s also one that occurs from a bloated tech stack. After years of adopting point solutions and specialized tools that only solve one problem, organizations today are often left with jumbled messes of multiple interfaces, poor data hygiene, complicated processes to accommodate systems that may no longer be in use, different data models, and more.

What Saviynt provides, instead, is a centralized, end-to-end platform that allows enterprises to streamline their tech stack and lower existing costs (while avoiding future ones). “Saviynt's cloud-native solution [...] saved our team significant time and costs during implementation,” said an Identity and Access Manager. Meanwhile, organizations improve data quality, reduce overprovisioning, and enforce least-privilege principles, thereby optimizing costs and lowering risk.

Closing blind spots across every identity

As organizations grow, achieving complete governance becomes more difficult. Each new system that organizations bring on to help the problem instead hinders it, creating more blind spots that only increase risk. Too many solutions mean identity and app coverage deteriorate, and visibility becomes limited, at best. With only a partial view of their domain, organizations cannot hope to see or protect everything within it.

The Saviynt Identity Platform enables holistic identity security across the entire enterprise — all identities, apps, systems, secrets, and more. Every identity, every app. "Saviynt helped us create a centralized identity repository of all users' access," said one Cybersecurity Director, Identity & Access Management. With Saviynt, they’re discovered and onboarded in mere hours (not weeks or months) through AI-empowered workflows. And, with everything in one location, business users enjoy improved reporting and data analysis, getting exactly the data they need to make smarter, more secure decisions.
