SafePaaS and Sikich Join Forces to Deliver Advanced Access Governance 

Partnership Brings Enterprise-Grade Access Control and Risk Automation to Growing Organizations Facing Cyber Risk and Compliance Complexity

CHICAGO – July 16, 2025 – Sikich, a Chicago-based leading global technology-enabled professional services company, today announced a strategic partnership with SafePaaS, a leader in policy-based access governance and advanced controls automation. The collaboration aims to deliver powerful, enterprise-grade access governance solutions to mid-market and enterprise organizations.  

As cyber threats intensify and compliance demands accelerate, traditional access control methods, such as static roles, manual reviews and reactive audits, are proving to no longer scale, leaving valuable time and trust on the line. 

Together, Sikich and SafePaaS empower business and IT leaders to move beyond reactive, checkbox-driven compliance and embrace a proactive, risk-intelligent approach. By leveraging intelligent automation, deep analytics and built-in policy enforcement, organizations can gain precise control over who has access to what, when and why. 

“This partnership is a critical step in helping clients transition from reactive compliance toward proactive, risk-intelligent operations,” said Sikich Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) Principal, Jamey Loupe. “By combining SafePaaS’ powerful access governance platform with our deep Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and risk expertise at Sikich, we’re enabling organizations to strengthen security, simplify compliance and accelerate performance. This collaboration is a win for Sikich, SafePaaS and most importantly, our clients. We’re especially grateful for the pivotal leadership role Andrew Yacynowych has played in establishing this partnership. He will continue to serve as the primary liaison for the Sikich Risk team, ensuring the ongoing development and success of our relationship with SafePaaS.” 

“Automated access governance goes beyond reducing risk,” says Jane Jones, Global Alliance Director at SafePaaS. “It’s a catalyst for smarter, faster and more resilient operations. With the right controls in place, teams can move with confidence, decisions are made with clarity and risk is contained without slowing down the business.” 

This partnership brings access governance to the forefront of business operations enabling agility without chaos, compliance without delay and growth without exposure. It’s a shift from a defensive posture to strategic advantage, where every control enforced, every risk surfaced and every manual task automated accelerates the journey toward operational excellence.
