Narayana Health Adopts Saviynt to Strengthen Identity Security

Saviynt, a global leader in AI-driven identity security and governance, has announced that Narayana Health—one of India’s largest and most trusted healthcare networks—has successfully implemented the Saviynt Identity Cloud to strengthen identity governance, enhance security controls, and streamline compliance across its nationwide operations.

Founded by Dr. Devi Shetty, Narayana Health operates 21 hospitals, five heart centres, and 19 primary-care facilities serving millions of patients each year. Managing secure access for over 18,000 identities across multiple Active Directory domains and 17 key applications, including its proprietary ATHMA EHR system, presented a significant operational and security challenge.

With Saviynt’s healthcare-focused Identity Cloud, Narayana Health has:

● Automated user provisioning and deprovisioning to ensure rapid and secure clinician access.

● Enforced Separation of Duties (SoD) and automated governance workflows to strengthen audit readiness.

● Seamlessly integrated with the ATHMA EHR platform to accelerate provider onboarding.

● Reduced operational costs through a scalable, cloud-first identity model delivering faster ROI.

“In healthcare, protecting patient data is as critical as delivering quality clinical care,” said Kumar K V, CISO, Narayana Health. “Saviynt Identity Cloud has enabled a modern, automated security framework that reduces risk and ensures end-to-end compliance.”

“This partnership demonstrates how identity security can directly support healthcare delivery,” added Karthik Satish Kumar, VP – Customer Office, APJ, Saviynt. “By simplifying governance and access management, healthcare professionals can focus fully on patient care.”

Saviynt reports that its platform can reduce application onboarding time by up to 70% and deliver a 240% ROI over three years. Narayana Health achieved its first deployment milestone in just three months, highlighting quick time-to-value in a regulated industry.
