What Fischer Identity does

Fischer Identity, operating as Fischer International Identity, LLC, is a privately held US-based Identity and Access Management (IAM) software vendor headquartered in Naples, Florida. The company was founded circa 2005 (with some firmographic data indicating 1982 origins) and self-identifies as the inventor of Identity as a Service (IaaS®) since 2007. It sells a converged cloud-built IAM platform hosted on AWS that unifies four core modules: Identity Governance and Administration (IGA), Access Management (including MFA and SSO), Password Management, and Compliance (continuous access certifications and audit-ready reporting). The platform is differentiated by a no-code, configuration-driven architecture anchored on a proprietary Workflow Studio, fixed-fee implementation pricing, and 100+ pre-built integrations spanning Microsoft Entra, Active Directory, Google Workspace, Workday, Ellucian (Banner/Colleague/Ethos), Oracle (PeopleSoft, HCM Cloud, OID), SAP (GRC, SuccessFactors), ServiceNow, Salesforce, Cisco Duo, Zoom, and Have I Been Pwned.

The business model is enterprise subscription SaaS with optional Managed Identity Services (24/7/365 support, health monitoring, professional services hours) and Strategic IAM Advisory Services sold as add-ons. The go-to-market is primarily direct enterprise field sales with a consultative selling motion, supplemented by a partner ecosystem (technology partners, SIs, resellers) and AWS Marketplace distribution. The company is vertically specialized, with higher education as its primary segment — evidenced by deployments at the University of Virginia (180,000+ active users, ~2M identities managed), Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (143,000+ identities), Baylor, Shenandoah, Southern Illinois Carbondale, Norwich, and Montgomery College — and a secondary footprint in financial services (UW Credit Union), healthcare (VITAS Healthcare), and manufacturing (Davey Tree Expert Company). In February 2026 Fischer announced a partnership with 1Kosmos to distribute biometric identity proofing and passwordless authentication into higher education, addressing synthetic identity and financial aid fraud. The company has 101-250 employees, no disclosed funding rounds (consistent with a bootstrapped or cash-flow-positive operator), and was named a Commander in the Tambellini Group StarChart 2025 for IAM Platforms.
