Identity security provider Saviynt has entered into a strategic partnership with cybersecurity solutions company Saint Fox to expand its go-to-market operations in India and help enterprises strengthen identity governance, privileged access controls and Zero Trust security.
The partnership combines Saviynt’s cloud-native identity security platform with Saint Fox’s cybersecurity expertise and local delivery capabilities. The companies plan to target enterprises across banking, healthcare, manufacturing and technology, where digital transformation and regulatory requirements are increasing the need for stronger identity and access controls.
The joint offering will cover Identity Governance and Administration (IGA), Privileged Access Management (PAM), Just-in-Time Access (JITA) and Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM). The companies aim to help organisations manage access across employee lifecycles, address compliance requirements and apply Zero Trust principles across hybrid IT environments.
Nitin Varma, managing director for India and SAARC at Saviynt, said the partnership would support the company’s efforts to build a scalable partner ecosystem in the country.
“As we shape our India GTM strategy, building the right ecosystem becomes imperative. We are investing in a scalable, trusted partner ecosystem built on the foundational pillars of enablement, loyalty, and profitability — aligned solely to create meaningful outcomes for our customers,” Varma said.
He added that the collaboration would help enterprises rethink how they manage privilege, access and trust, moving away from static perimeter-based security towards controls centred on dynamic identities.
Identity security beyond authentication
The partnership comes as enterprises contend with growing identity-related security risks across cloud platforms, applications and distributed IT environments. Traditional access management measures, including single sign-on (SSO) and multi-factor authentication (MFA), remain important, but organisations also need to govern permissions, monitor privileged access and maintain visibility into identity-related risks.
Sunil Tak, co-founder and CEO of Saint Fox, said identity had become a critical component of enterprise security, while rising compliance and reporting requirements were adding to the complexity of access management.
“To address these challenges for our customers, we are proud to partner with industry leader Saviynt, a true cloud-native, identity-centric platform that converges IGA, PAM, JITA, and ISPM requirements into a single, unified platform,” Tak said.
By combining identity governance with privileged access management and identity security posture capabilities, the companies intend to help enterprises establish more consistent controls over who — or what — can access business systems and sensitive information.
Expanding regional reach and delivery capabilities
Saint Fox will support Saviynt’s regional expansion and delivery capacity in India, while the two companies pursue joint go-to-market initiatives across priority industries.
The partnership is also intended to help organisations align identity controls with sector-specific compliance requirements and improve the implementation of Zero Trust security strategies.
For Saviynt, the alliance forms part of its partner-led approach to expanding in India. For Saint Fox, it adds Saviynt’s identity security platform to its portfolio of cloud-first security and engineering services, which includes identity and access management, cloud infrastructure security, AI-safe environments, data governance and threat detection.
The companies said the collaboration would focus on building the market coverage, delivery capacity and technical capabilities required to support enterprise adoption of unified identity security. Neither company disclosed financial terms or specific deployment timelines for the partnership.
