DNV Cyber awarded EMEA Partner of the Year by Saviynt, as companies increase focus on digital identity management

DNV Cyber has been presented with two awards – EMEA Delivery Partner and EMEA Channel Partner of the Year for 2024 by Saviynt, a leading provider of cloud-native identity and governance platform solutions. These awards recognize the success of DNV Cyber as a cybersecurity services provider supporting customers to implement Saviynt’s solutions.  

Saviynt presents awards each year to recognize the efforts of its partners who have demonstrated innovation and excellence related to Saviynt’s Identity Cloud. DNV Cyber operates a Saviynt academy to train its people to deliver end-to-end implementation of the platform and now has more than 20 certified Saviynt professionals. The latest recognition on 23 January marked the third time that DNV Cyber has won Saviynt awards.

“DNV Cyber has exemplified excellence in dual roles, achieving outstanding success as both a delivery and channel partner,” said Steve Williams, VP Partners EMEA at Saviynt. “Their contributions in 2024 set a new benchmark, delivering the highest dollar value among our EMEA channel partners while simultaneously managing multiple complex delivery projects. Their ability to drive new initiatives, secure new logos, and successfully lead projects to go-live showcases their commitment to innovation and customer success. We are proud to recognize DNV Cyber with this award for their exceptional impact and dedication to our shared vision.” 

"As a preferred partner to an identity security market leader, we are at the forefront of enabling organizations across various industries, including critical infrastructure, to implement efficient and compliant identity and access management solutions, thereby enhancing security in sectors such as manufacturing, retail, pharmaceuticals, banking, and finance," says Marek Rejmer, Director of Identity and Access Management, DNV Cyber. 

DNV Cyber’s latest Cyber Priority research reveals that three-quarters (75%) of professionals working in critical infrastructure industries are moderately or highly concerned about the cybersecurity threat from unintentional actors, such as accidents and mistakes by employees leading to security incidents. Some 59% are concerned about the threat from malicious insiders, as worries rise about threats such as employees and third parties selling access on the dark web. 

For organizations to remain resilient, the workforce must be a strong link in their cybersecurity. This requires effective training and fostering a security culture, but crucially, it also requires secure gateways to critical systems and data enabled by IAM solutions. In addition to looking at the usability and efficiency of implemented solutions, companies need to securely manage digital identities to protect sensitive data, ensure compliance, and maintain customer trust.  

In Gartner’s 2024 Voice of the Customer Report, providing insights for IT decision makers, Saviynt was named as Customers' Choice for Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) for the fourth consecutive year, based on customer reviews. DNV Cyber was the first in the European market to partner with Saviynt, having established the nearly decade-long strategic partnership in 2017. With as many as 20 complex, multi-year implementations completed or underway during the past eight years, DNV Cyber is among the most experienced in implementing Saviynt’s technology.  

“Successful IAM implementations strike an optimal balance between security and privacy on the one hand and convenience and ease-of-use on the other. Together with Saviynt, we have proven it is possible to deliver this balance as we help organizations modernize their systems,” adds Rejmer.
