Some sectors can’t afford identity mistakes.

No one is immune to identity risk — but in these industries, cloud access gaps come with outsized consequences.

Whether it’s meeting audit requirements, securing critical infrastructure, or reducing privilege sprawl — P0 gives teams the visibility, control and automation they need to move securely at cloud speed.

Financial Services: protecting sensitive data while moving at market speed.

Key challenges

  • Strict regulatory frameworks: SOX, PCI-DSS, SOC 2
  • Rapid shift to hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructure
  • Internal separation of duties and privileged access constraints

Risks in the wild

  • Over-permissioned identities in production and trading systems
  • Standing access to sensitive environments that should be time-bound
  • Missed privilege creep during manual access reviews

How P0 helps

P0 gives financial organizations the ability to enforce least privilege in real time. With a unified identity graph, automated access reviews and just-in-time elevation for sensitive systems, security and compliance teams can meet regulatory requirements without blocking the business.

Public Sector: modernizing access control for critical infrastructure.

Key challenges

  • Legacy IAM systems and bureaucratic approval workflows
  • Rigid compliance standards (FedRAMP, CMMC, NIST 800-53)
  • Shared access across agencies, contractors and cloud providers

Risks in the wild

  • Broad admin access not scoped to job function
  • Lack of visibility across cloud and legacy environments
  • Delayed audits due to missing access logs or policy gaps

How P0 helps

P0 brings modern, policy-based identity governance to public sector organizations. Agentless and cloud-native, P0 provides live visibility into permissions and automated reviews that scale across departments — all while aligning to federal frameworks.

P0 use cases

Healthcare: safeguarding patient data and research integrity.

Key challenges

  • HIPAA, HITRUST and other patient privacy mandates
  • Complex IT environments: on-prem EHR systems + cloud analytics
  • Third-party collaborators (research sites, trial vendors, healthcare networks)

Risks in the wild

  • Long-lived credentials tied to sensitive health data
  • Policy drift between cloud and on-premise systems
  • Inconsistent controls for non-human identities in research workflows

How P0 Helps

P0 secures both human and machine identities in complex, hybrid environments. Healthcare orgs can automate access policies, enforce identity boundaries and generate audit-ready logs that meet privacy and compliance standards — without disrupting care delivery or research velocity.

Technology and SaaS: Fast teams, complex environments, constant identity risk.

Key challenges

  • Fast-growing teams with frequent onboarding/offboarding
  • DevOps-driven environments with CI/CD, IaaC and automation everywhere
  • Explosive growth in machine identities across tools, services and environments

Risks in the wild

  • Developers with broad, persistent access to production systems
  • CI jobs running with full cloud admin roles
  • Hardcoded secrets or access tokens in Git repositories

How P0 helps

P0 is built for engineering at cloud pace. SaaS companies use it to replace static roles and patchwork access flows with just-in-time orchestration, scoped automation and continuous posture monitoring — all without slowing down engineering teams or platform releases.

P0 use cases

Retail and commerce: managing complex access across customers, vendors and systems.

Key challenges

  • High volume of dynamic users (seasonal workers, contractors, support teams)
  • Third-party integrations across cloud and SaaS environments
  • Growing use of automation for fulfillment, inventory and personalization

Risks in the wild

  • Vendors retaining unnecessary access to production environments
  • Credential reuse across systems like POS, inventory and CRM
  • Weak or inconsistent policies across cloud accounts and regions

How P0 helps

P0 gives retailers a centralized way to govern identity access across hybrid infrastructures and third-party systems. With automated deprovisioning, access reviews and credential hygiene, P0 helps retail orgs reduce risk while scaling access for distributed teams and partners.

Energy and critical infrastructure: protecting systems that power everything else.

Key challenges

  • Converged IT/OT environments with strict security boundaries
  • Regulatory frameworks like NERC CIP, ISO 27001 and national standards
  • High reliance on automation, telemetry and remote operations

Risks in the wild

  • Machine identities with persistent access to critical control systems
  • No centralized visibility into who (or what) can access sensitive workloads
  • Legacy tooling that doesn’t align with modern cloud infrastructure

How P0 helps

P0 secures human and machine access in high-sensitivity environments — enabling real-time visibility, scoped policies and audit-friendly governance across cloud, hybrid and edge systems. It’s modern access control for infrastructure that can’t afford failure.
