Startups to Enterprises: How Akku Meets Different Business Needs

Small, mid-sized, and large enterprises face different challenges with access management. From limited resources to scaling complexities to sprawling organizational structures, the differing needs of businesses at each phase of growth call for a tailored solution.

In this blog, let’s explore how Akku empowers businesses of every size.

For Startups: Easy Setup, Powerful Security

The Challenge

As a startup or small-scale business, you may not have a large IT team or the technical skills to manage a complicated security system. But just like larger enterprises, your business too faces cyber risks. That’s why you need a security solution that’s simple, effective, and helps keep you safe while you focus on growing your business – without the need for technical expertise.

How Akku Helps

• Quick IAM Setup with Minimal Technical Complexity: Akku simplifies the onboarding process, ensuring startups can get started without advanced technical know-how. Akku’s 500+ pre-built app connectors, user-friendly interface, and ease of setup allow small businesses to implement a robust IAM faster.
  
• High Value-for-Money IAM Solutions: Budget constraints are a fact of life for small businesses. Akku offers plans that offer tremendous value and help you keep data security strong without breaking the bank.
• Strong Foundational Security Measures: Akku helps you streamline access management and implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) – these are vital tools to build a strong security foundation at your business.

For Mid-Size Businesses: Security balanced with Efficiency

The Challenge

As businesses grow bigger, operations become more complex. In addition to the concerns of smaller businesses, your mid-sized business needs to balance the need for stronger security with the importance of maintaining operational efficiency. The right IAM will support your growth while keeping operations secure and efficient.

How Akku Helps

• Robust Authentication Security: Akku helps you enforce MFA as well as strong employee password policies, keeping the login process secure across the board for your growing time. And the option of passwordless authentication goes even further towards eliminating the risk of password misuse/abuse.
• Efficient Application Access: As your business scales, the number of applications your teams use tends to rise exponentially. The result is significant friction in the user access process. With Akku’s robust single sign-on (SSO), access to applications is a matter of a single click, enabling increased productivity for users and administrators.
• Improved Flexibility through Modular IAM Solutions: With evolving business priorities, Akku’s modular IAM solutions give you the flexibility to invest in the tools you need now, and add on functionalities as the business grows.
  

  For Enterprises: Streamlining Access & Reducing IT Admin Workloads

  The Challenge

  Thousands of employees across multiple departments, and numerous roles and designations are key characteristics of large enterprises that give rise to unique IAM challenges. These dynamics place a heavy load on your IT admin team, and make managing access time-consuming and prone to error. At the same time, the business also needs to comply with strict security policies and regulations.

  How Akku Helps

• Automated Provisioning and Deprovisioning: By automating provisioning and deprovisioning, Akku massively reduces the workload for IT administrators and ensures no risk of human error. Employees are granted access to the systems and data they require promptly, improving productivity, while former employees lose access with a single stroke, securing systems.
  
• Increased Productivity with Self-Service Password Management: Password recovery requests can overwhelm the IT function as your team sizes increase. Akku’s self-service password management system allows users to generate and update their own passwords, in compliance with custom policies. This improves productivity by cutting out wait time, while IT administrators save a significant amount of time.
• Streamlined Data and Analytics for Audit: Akku offers a centralized platform to manage access across the organization, which also means it is a centralized point of data collection. Akku’s advanced reporting and analytics tools use this data to provide single-window visibility into access patterns, enabling informed decision-making. This also provides verifiable proof of compliance with security and data privacy regulations.
