The Identity Frontier

The Enterprise Attack Surface
Has Shifted to Machines.

For every human identity in your environment, there are 10–45 non-human identities — service accounts, API keys, OAuth tokens, AI agents, bots, and machine workloads. Most organizations have zero visibility, zero governance, and zero rotation strategy for them. That's the breach waiting to happen.

Who We Are

The IAM Specialist.
Human & Non-Human.

SPS, Inc. has been exclusively focused on IBM Identity & Access Management since 1998. Now we bring that same specialist depth to the next frontier: Non-Human Identity, Agentic AI security, and HashiCorp Vault — because the machines outnumber the people, and someone has to govern them.

We are not a large consulting firm with an IAM practice. We are the IAM firm — period. That specialization is what our clients hire us for, and what 25 years of track record proves.

Why Vault Is Mission-Critical
for the Agentic AI Era

As AI agents proliferate and machines outnumber humans in your identity estate, static credentials become catastrophic liabilities. Vault eliminates them — and SPS makes it real.

01

Dynamic Secrets — No More Static Keys

Vault generates short-lived, just-in-time credentials for every workload and AI agent — credentials that expire automatically, eliminating the #1 cause of credential-based breaches.

02
🤖

Agentic AI Identity Enforcement

Every AI agent, LLM pipeline, and autonomous workflow gets a verified identity with scoped permissions, audit trails, and automatic revocation — so your AI fleet can't go rogue or be impersonated.

03
🔄

Zero-Touch Secret Rotation

Automated rotation for database passwords, API keys, cloud credentials, and certificates — across every environment, on every schedule, with zero application downtime.

04
🏛️

Compliance-Ready Audit Trails

Every secret access, every token issuance, every agent authentication — logged, signed, and ready for SOC 2, FedRAMP, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA compliance reporting.

05
🌐

Multi-Cloud Secrets Federation

A single Vault deployment governs secrets across AWS, Azure, GCP, on-prem, and hybrid — with centralized policy, unified audit, and cloud-agnostic enforcement.

IBM Verify + Vault: Better Together
