Lead with the audit
For financial institutions, data centers and data collection companies, open with the evidence the auditor or the customer asks for: who has access to what, reviewed and certified, and reports ready on request.

Sath Buyer Map
Marcel Bondarowicz | Sath | November 2026
As of 04 Nov 2026
On our call on November 2 you named the buyer: CISOs, CIOs and heads of HR at larger corporate entities, director level and above, in financial institutions, logistics firms, data centers and data collection companies, anywhere in the United States.
This page maps those four groups, roughly how many organizations sit in each, who usually signs, and ten named people to start with.
Where your buyers sit
The four groups you named. Larger means mid-market and up, so the two right-hand columns are the ones to read. Counts are United States firms, banded.
| Group | Organizations in the US | Under 20 staff | 20 to 99 | 100 to 499 | 500 or more |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Financial institutions: banks, credit unions and savings institutions | about 9,300 | about 3,600 | about 3,500 | about 1,800 | about 500 |
| Logistics firms: trucking, freight arrangement, couriers and warehousing | about 190,000 | about 170,000 | about 15,000 | about 3,600 | about 2,300 |
| Data centers, hosting and data processing | about 11,000 | about 8,900 | about 1,300 | about 650 | about 570 |
| Data collection companies: consumer data, credit data and research firms | no clean public count |
US firm counts by industry code, banded deliberately.
Who signs in each group
An identity and access purchase is usually raised by the team that runs access day to day and signed by the person who answers for it to auditors, regulators or customers.
| Group | Raises the need | Signs |
|---|---|---|
| Financial institutions | Information security officer, identity and access manager, IT audit | Chief information security officer or chief information officer, with risk and compliance agreeing |
| Logistics firms | IT security manager, IT operations director | Chief information security officer or chief information officer, with the head of HR on onboarding and offboarding |
| Data centers | Security and compliance manager, IT director | Chief information security officer, often alongside the chief information officer |
| Data collection companies | Security engineering lead, governance and privacy lead | Chief information security officer, with the chief information officer |
Why HR belongs in the conversation
Every joiner, mover and leaver starts as an HR record. Your site describes IDHub automating onboarding, role changes and offboarding, and FlowHub moving data between HR systems, IT service desks and cloud directories.
That gives the head of HR a direct stake. When a person leaves and their access stays open, the gap begins in an HR process. At larger firms with many people joining, moving and leaving, the head of HR and the CISO often sign the change together.
What each group has to show
Financial institutions answer to examiners and auditors, who ask for proof that access is reviewed and removed on time. Access certifications and audit-ready reports speak to that.
Data centers and data collection companies hold other organizations' data, so their own customers ask for SOC 2 and ISO evidence. SecHub's continuous evidence tracking against SOC 2 and ISO is the point to lead with.
Logistics firms run large, changing workforces across many sites. Fast onboarding and clean offboarding across every application is the case there.
Ten people to start with

Where to start
Put HR and security in one thread
Write to the CISO and the head of HR at the same firm about joiners, movers and leavers. It is the one problem both of them own, and it starts in the HR system your platform already connects to.
Logistics: access that keeps pace with people
For trucking, freight and warehousing firms, the message is access granted on day one and removed on the last day, across every site and application, without waiting on IT tickets.
Built from public federal registries and the company's own website, counts banded deliberately.
