SecZetta Delivers Strong First Quarter with Record Customer Wins and New Strategic Partnerships

SecZetta, the leading provider of third-party identity risk solutions, today shared its business growth highlights for the first quarter of its 2023 fiscal year ending in April 2022. The company delivered strong first quarter results building on the momentum coming out of 2021, underscoring its continued leadership in addressing third-party identity risk and enabling organizations to better manage the identity risk and lifecycle management needs of their growing third-party populations. Key to driving growth in the quarter was increasing diligence by global organizations around gathering the contextual data needed for their third-party non-employee workforce to ensure compliance which requires visibility into third-party access at the organization and identity-level.

“This past quarter reflects a growing movement toward the use of an identity authority as a critical component to providing more control and auditability of processes for collecting, using and tracking third-party user information”

In addition to compliance drivers, the scale of many organizations’ utilization of third parties as part of their regular business practices has increased exponentially, putting additional strain on existing manual processes and increasing their risk exposure. During a merger or acquisition, thousands of employees and third-party users may need to be added to the parent company’s digital identity management system. Organizations need the ability to quickly and efficiently onboard people into the new company while having an auditable trail of what was done and who approved it. Without automation, it can take hundreds of hours to determine which of these employees, and third-party users are valid, if duplicates exist, and then to migrate the workforce records from the acquired organization systems. More importantly, organizations need the ability to manage the relationships with these identities across their lifecycles and ensure timely termination of access when no longer required.

“This past quarter reflects a growing movement toward the use of an identity authority as a critical component to providing more control and auditability of processes for collecting, using and tracking third-party user information,” said David Pignolet, founder and CEO, SecZetta. “Moving forward, this will become increasingly important as organizations strengthen collaboration with partners and suppliers, shifting responsibility for business processes of managing and delegating tasks to non-employees and partners.”

Proprietary Research Findings

SecZetta, in partnership with ESG, an IT analyst, research, validation, and strategy firm division of TechTarget, conducted new research “Securing the Identity Perimeter with Defense in Depth” that demonstrates a clear misalignment between the strategies organizations currently use and what is actually required to protect them from cyberattacks due to third-party vulnerabilities. The complexities of identity management require increased investment in the right tools and services, like third-party identity lifecycle management, to improve the operational efficiencies and reduce the cost and risk of managing the dynamic, higher-risk relationships with third-party individuals and organizations.
