SailPoint & HCLTech forge AI-driven identity security alliance
SailPoint and HCLTech have commenced a partnership to deliver identity security solutions tailored for enterprise environments increasingly defined by artificial intelligence.
The collaboration brings together SailPoint Identity Security Cloud, which is delivered via its AI-driven identity platform Atlas, with HCLTech's global cybersecurity practice and its managed services framework, MiDaaS. The joint offering is designed to help large organisations address the increasing scale and complexity associated with managing digital identities, as well as to automate lifecycle access controls, monitor access risk, and enforce policy across diverse environments including hybrid, multicloud and AI-centric systems.
Key elements
The partnership aims to provide three main benefits to organisations. Firstly, it looks to accelerate identity transformation by assisting companies in moving from older, fragmented systems to a modern platform, supported by HCLTech's international delivery teams and certified consultants. Secondly, it enables continuous risk-aware governance of digital identities, with real-time analytics from Atlas and governance support from HCLTech to manage policy enforcement, access certification, and detect irregular access patterns. Thirdly, as generative AI applications and agents proliferate within the enterprise, the alliance is positioned to support zero-trust aligned controls for identity governance in real time.
HCLTech has also achieved the status of SailPoint Global Delivery Admiral Partner. This is the highest level of partner recognition that SailPoint awards and is given to partners who meet high standards in areas such as customer satisfaction, deployment scale, and certified expertise.
AI and security
SailPoint and HCLTech both highlighted the growing importance of identity as a core component of enterprise security in the era of AI. As organisations rely more heavily on both human and digital identities, the need for robust, intelligent governance mechanisms has grown.
"In the AI era, identities, including agents, are the new perimeter and must be intelligently governed and secured," said Matt Mills, President of SailPoint. "Our partnership with HCLTech enables more customers to build identity security programs at scale to secure AI agents and other identities - programs that are policy‐driven, risk‐aware, and resilient to fast‐moving digital threats."
Jagadeshwar Gattu, President of Digital Foundation Services at HCLTech, commented on the partnership's approach to zero-trust models and the digital future. He stated, "A zero-trust operating model requires an Identity-first approach, which in turn can also serve as a strong digital foundation for an AI-powered future. By embedding SailPoint Atlas into our unified IAM and managed services ecosystem, we empower enterprises to manage identity risk proactively and with confidence."
Gattu also noted HCLTech's broader strategy with partner relationships, explaining that the company invests in alliances that go beyond technology to deliver business outcomes, simplify customer environments, and add long-term programme value.
Industry reach
HCLTech, which employs more than 223,000 people across 60 countries, provides digital, engineering, cloud and AI solutions for clients in sectors such as financial services, manufacturing, life sciences, healthcare, high tech, telecoms, media, retail and the public sector. Its reported revenues for the twelve months to June 2025 totalled USD $14.0 billion.
The alliance with SailPoint is intended to support these organisations as they increasingly adopt and rely on artificial intelligence in their business processes. Both partners emphasise the necessity for intelligent, automated, and adaptive controls that align with zero-trust strategies as businesses experience greater digital transformation.
