Firms that achieve SSA certification include consultancy/advisory organizations, managed service providers, and tooling providers. SSA allows them to provide evidence of their SIAM expertise to current or potential customers. In order to achieve certification, a rigorous assessment must confirm the organization’s services and performance, including governance and risk management, continual improvement, innovation and much more. Recognizing that there is no one ‘true’ way to adopt SIAM, Scopism has built an accreditation that focuses on the outcomes that an organization has delivered for its clients. Integris Applied‘s role will be to identify and/or perform assessments for providers in the Americas region, including companies across North and South America.
