Digital Turbine Inc. Automates Users Access Reviews and Cuts Audit Time by 80%

The Opportunity

Digital Turbine, the world's leading independent growth and monetization platform, is reshaping the mobile advertising ecosystem by creating a unified and neutral marketplace for advertisers, publishers, operators, and OEMs. With global operations and broad ecosystem integrations, the company supports a massive global footprint that demands strong governance and secure access controls.

Despite their scale, Digital Turbine was performing User Access Reviews (UAR) through high-touch processes that required time-consuming stakeholder coordination across multiple departments. Digital Turbine sought to standardize and scale its user access review program across a diverse application portfolio, with a focus on improving consistency, efficiency, and evidence quality to support internal governance and external assurance needs.

The Solution

Digital Turbine selected BalkanlD to modernize and automate their User Access Review (UAR) program across critical Cloud, SaaS, Database, and Internal systems.

What once required significant time and manual effort was replaced by a unified, automated, and scalable workflow built for enterprise governance. BalkanlD built integrated data sources from connected and disconnected applications into a unified access review workflow.

BalkanID improved the reviewer experience and strengthened decision quality by providing centralized visibility, workflow automation, and contextual information that helps reviewers focus attention where it matters, while maintaining consistent, audit-friendly reporting.

According to the Digital Turbine team:

BalkanID enabled us to automate our user access reviews program and manage all our identities as part of our ongoing compliance initiatives. What once took weeks of manual effort is now efficient and automated. The audit-ready reports have significantly accelerated our compliance assessments and reduced post-campaign work.

Today, Digital Turbine leverages BalkanlD as a core part of their continuous compliance monitoring strategy. With a single platform to manage all identities and access reviews, Digital Turbine is able to:

• Standardize user access reviews across a diverse application environment
• Reduce manual coordination and improved operational efficiency
• Improve evidence quality and consistency to support audit and assurance needs
• Improve reviewer productivity with contextualized insights during reviews

By leveraging BalkanlD, Digital Turbine transformed a complex, multi-touchpoint manual process into a modern, automated, and high-efficiency access governance program, improving operational efficiency and evidence quality

Outcomes we've achieved

• 80% reduction in audit preparation time, with stronger consistency and completeness of supporting evidence.‍
• Audit-ready documentation as a standard output, enabling us to demonstrate access governance as part of ongoing operations rather than a periodic effort.‍
• More contextual and risk-informed reviews, with clear change visibility between cycles so decisions are informed, consistent, and efficient.
