RSM US Enhances Cybersecurity with SailPoint's Innovative Identity Solutions

RSM US Boosts Cyber Defense with SailPoint Identity Integration

On November 10, 2025, RSM US LLP publicly announced a significant enhancement to its managed security services platform, RSM Defense. This improvement comes through the integration of SailPoint’s Identity Security Cloud, a move that seeks to better tackle identity challenges faced by middle-market businesses. RSM, recognized for its excellence in assurance, tax, and consulting services, is dedicated to bringing accessible cybersecurity solutions to its clients.

RSM's initiative comes at a time when many businesses struggle to adopt advanced identity security measures. Challenges such as the need for specialized resources and expertise can hinder these organizations from implementing effective cybersecurity frameworks. By introducing this integrated managed service, RSM aims to streamline the deployment of security measures for its clients. Tauseef Ghazi, national leader of risk consulting at RSM stated, "Our goal is to close that gap by providing scalable solutions that simplify complexity and deliver real protection without overburdening internal teams."

The collaboration with SailPoint, a global front-runner in identity security, introduces advanced governance capabilities into RSM Defense’s active security operations. This synergy will enable RSM to enforce stringent access controls, automate labor-intensive security tasks, and shift security measures from a reactive posture to a proactive strategy. RSM clients can expect a comprehensive security capability that safeguards their businesses while allowing their internal teams to focus on core operations and generate measurable benefits.

Dave Schwartz, SVP of Global Partners at SailPoint, expressed, "Organizations need identity security solutions that are intelligent, adaptive, and easy to manage. Together, with RSM, we're delivering the tools and insights businesses need to protect their critical assets and confidently embrace innovation."

The expansion of RSM’s service offering is particularly timely given the latest findings from the RSM US Middle Market Business Index Special Report on Cybersecurity 2025. The report reveals alarming statistics, noting that nearly 18% of middle-market companies reported experiencing a data breach within the past year, despite 97% of executives believing their current security measures were sufficient. Effective identity management remains paramount in reinforcing an organization's security framework.

RSM's commitment to empowering middle-market companies extends beyond just enhanced cybersecurity measures. The firm is actively addressing the challenges these organizations face while navigating digital transformations, advocating for solutions that bolster security maturity and resilience.

As the cyber threat landscape continues to evolve, RSM's integration with SailPoint signifies a forward-thinking approach in security service delivery. This partnership is set to provide businesses with more accessible avenues to implement sophisticated identity security measures that keep pace with technological advancements.

For RSM, it’s not just about managing risks; it’s about enabling their clients to thrive amid change. By integrating SailPoint’s intelligence-driven identity solutions, RSM is ensuring that its clients are not merely reactive to threats but are well-equipped to prevent and respond to them strategically, thereby safeguarding their future in an increasingly complex digital environment.

In summary, RSM US LLP is paving the way for middle-market businesses to enhance their cybersecurity frameworks while simplifying the implementation process through strategic partnerships and advanced technology integration, proving that effective security solutions are vital in this new age of digital transformation.
