RSM US LLP, a leading provider of assurance, tax, and consulting services, has enhanced its RSM Defense managed security platform by integrating the SailPoint Identity Security Cloud. The move is designed to deliver scalable, automated identity protection with minimal demand on internal IT teams.

SailPoint’s identity governance and intelligence capabilities will serve as a cornerstone of RSM Defense, enabling proactive enforcement of least-privilege access, streamlined compliance, and automation of complex security tasks.

“Organizations today need identity security solutions that are intelligent, adaptive, and easy to manage,” said Dave Schwartz, SVP of Global Partners at SailPoint. “Together with RSM, we’re delivering tools and insights to protect critical assets while supporting innovation.”

Tauseef Ghazi, RSM US National Leader for Risk Consulting, emphasized the importance of accessibility for growing companies. “Identity security has become foundational to modern risk management, but it’s rarely simple or accessible for the middle market,” he said. “Our goal is to close that gap by simplifying complexity and helping clients focus on real business value.”

According to RSM’s 10th Annual Middle Market Business Index Cybersecurity Report (2025), 18% of middle market companies experienced data breaches in the past year, despite 97% of executives expressing confidence in their current protections—a gap RSM and SailPoint aim to close with this integration.
