Frequently Asked Questions

Why is identity security for higher education so important?

Securing higher education identities can be complex, bringing together thousands of identities of many different types every year. Putting a central identity management platform in place can help keep identities and related data safe, while enabling better user experiences and easier sign-on processes at the same time.

Is identity security for higher education available as a managed service?

Yes. ProofID can host and manage your identity security solution end-to end. This not only means that you’re in the capable hands of leading expertise and proven technology, but it also saves your in-house teams time and resources that they can put to better use elsewhere in your organisation.

Can a new identity security approach save my institution money?

Definitely. Our identity security solutions allow you to provision and control access in accordance with your role-based access control policies. This minimises the risk of unnecessarily high SaaS licence fees, caused by more people being granted access than is required.
