Identity Governance & Critical Infrastructure
Identity Governance Built for Public Sector & Critical Infrastructure
NIS2, ISO 27001, and FedRAMP-aligned identity governance. Protect government systems from nation-state threats, enforce strict access controls, and meet rising regulatory accountability demands.
The Identity Challenges Facing Public Sector Organizations
Nation-state threats, complex workforce structures, and rising NIS2 obligations make identity governance a strategic security priority for government and critical infrastructure.
Nation-State Identity Attacks
Government agencies and critical infrastructure operators are primary targets for state-sponsored attacks. Credential compromise is behind the majority of significant public sector breaches — and the attack surface is growing.
Complex Workforce Access
Civil servants, elected officials, contractors, secondees, and volunteers all require different levels of access to classified and sensitive systems. Manual management creates access creep and accountability gaps that regulators will find.
NIS2 Critical Infrastructure Mandates
NIS2 imposes specific cybersecurity requirements on 18 categories of critical infrastructure — energy, transport, water, health, and digital infrastructure. Identity governance is foundational to meeting these mandatory controls.
Supply Chain Compromise Risk
Government ICT supply chains are increasingly targeted as an indirect route to sensitive systems. Vendor and contractor access to government networks requires granular, auditable governance that most organizations lack.
