NCC Group is expanding its identity security capabilities through a collaboration with SailPoint to help organizations govern access, reduce risk and strengthen resilience across cloud, hybrid and AI-enabled environments.

The collaboration will use SailPoint’s AI-powered identity security platform to support NCC Group’s delivery and management of advanced identity security services globally. The platform provides visibility, governance and control across human, machine and AI-driven identities.

Through the collaboration, NCC Group will offer end-to-end identity services including Managed Identity Governance and Administration (IGA), Identity Security Advisory & Implementation and AI Agent Security.

Managed IGA will provide continuous monitoring, governance and optimization of identity environments with the goal of reducing operational burden and improving security outcomes. Identity Security Advisory & Implementation will focus on the design, deployment and optimization of identity and access governance aligned with business risk and regulatory requirements.

The AI Agent Security offering will provide identity-centric security controls to support the adoption of AI, automation and data-driven technologies while maintaining appropriate access, accountability and governance.

NCC Group said the capabilities will help organizations address privilege sprawl, insider risk, compliance complexity and AI-driven attack surfaces as part of a broader cyber resilience strategy.

“Identity is the backbone of cyber resilience, not just for people, but for machines,” said Derek Gordon, Digital Identity Practice Lead at NCC Group. “AI agents and automated processes are increasingly running critical processes at an enterprise scale.”

Gordon added that the combination of SailPoint’s identity platform and NCC Group’s experience securing complex and regulated environments will help customers regain control of human and non-human identities, reduce access risk and adopt emerging technologies with governance built in.

Remco Postma, AVP Partners and Alliances EMEA at SailPoint, said the collaboration brings together SailPoint’s technology with NCC Group’s identity expertise and global delivery capabilities.

“As enterprises grapple with the explosion of non-human identities and AI-driven access risk, having a partner that understands both the technology and the real-world security challenges is critical,” Postma said.

The collaboration represents another step in NCC Group’s effort to help organizations anticipate, withstand and recover from cyber threats in an increasingly identity-driven environment.
