Customer Background
For Holidu, a dynamically growing scale-up that is reshaping the holiday rental industry, the security of its customers', employees' and partners' data is a key asset.

Holidu needed a robust solution to control identity sprawl and effectively manage user permissions across their cloud-based operations.

With a rapidly expanding team and high data sensitivity, maintaining security and compliance were top priorities for Holidu.
