Mott MacDonald Standardizes Access Control on Wiz
Mott MacDonald, an industrials organization in the United Kingdom, uses Wiz Defend from Wiz to support identity operations for IAM and helpdesk.
IAM and helpdesk at Mott MacDonald review access control in Wiz Defend rather than in personal files.
“Mott MacDonald is based in the United Kingdom and runs industrials operations at a scale where access control cannot live in side channels.”
“IAM and helpdesk were reconciling competing copies of the same work, which slowed identity operations and hid who owned the next step.”

Story
Mott MacDonald is based in the United Kingdom and runs industrials operations at a scale where access control cannot live in side channels. IAM and helpdesk were reconciling competing copies of the same work, which slowed identity operations and hid who owned the next step.
The company runs identity operations on Wiz, with Wiz Defend as the product IAM and helpdesk actually open. Wiz is a cloud native application protection platform that maps cloud risk across identities, configurations, and workloads. For Mott MacDonald, that means IAM and helpdesk can open one workflow, see access control, and let neighboring teams join without inventing a parallel stack.
Public materials confirm the companies and products. They do not always publish a single verified KPI for this pairing, so the outcome here is operational: clearer ownership, fewer stalled handoffs, and a shared record for access control.
