Pathlock and mindsquare announce strategic partnership to deliver ai-native access governance and GRC capabilities in the DACH region. August 19, 2026 The partnership combines Pathlock's innovative technology with mindsquare's SAP expertise and local market knowledge to help organizations across the DACH region modernize access governance and GRC processes. Pathlock, the global leader in Converged Identity Governance, ERP Cross-Application Security and GRC Controls Automation for the Agentic Era, today announced a strategic partnership with mindsquare AG, an established technology consulting firm with deep SAP expertise and a strong presence in the DACH market. The partnership aims to expand access to Pathlock's modern, cross-application access governance and GRC capabilities for enterprises in the DACH region. Organizations increasingly operate heterogeneous technology environments spanning multiple ERP platforms, business applications, cloud services, and legacy systems - all of which must be governed consistently and securely. At the same time, the approaching end of maintenance for key applications and modules, combined with accelerated cloud migration and AI adoption, is prompting organizations to reassess whether their current access governance and GRC technology can support their evolving application landscapes.

Thanks to Pathlock Cloud, customers can confidently undergo digital transformation with their ERP landscape while maintaining a consistent governance layer across existing, new, and future applications.
