Billions in fines: how NHI failures put organizations at risk

Managing Non-Human Identities (NHIs) — including service accounts, APIs, and machine credentials — is a critical enterprise security challenge. Machine identities outnumber human identities by 144:1, and unmanaged secrets in code, pipelines, and infrastructure have caused costly breaches, with penalties in the billions.

This white paper explores how frameworks address NHI risks, including:

• Governance requirements in ISO 27001, NIST CSF, PCI DSS, GDPR, DORA, and SOC 2
• Breach cases showing regulatory and financial impacts of poor secrets management
• Controls for managing the NHI lifecycle, from discovery to revocation
