Automating user lifecycle processes is essential for boosting operational efficiency, enhancing user experience, and strengthening security, all while minimizing risk and reducing operational costs.
Our in-depth assessment and implementation services are built around key program attributes that shape your organization’s IGA requirements, enabling the creation of an identity governance and administration (IGA) capability that delivers value to key stakeholders across your enterprise.
What Business Security Issues Do IGA Services Address?
Effective policies for on-premises and cloud-based IGA solutions are foundational to strong security. IGA services play a crucial role in mitigating risks such as supply-chain attacks and ransomware. Many businesses face identity-related breaches due to weak IAM processes, but robust IGA policies—whether for on-premises or cloud environments—can prevent unauthorized privilege escalation and access to sensitive systems.
A strong IGA system ensures that businesses can promptly remove user access to applications and systems that are no longer needed, reducing the risk of unnecessary breaches and strengthening overall security.
Identity Governance & Administration (IGA) impacts various aspects of your organization and must be managed in a way that addresses the needs of all stakeholders. Here are five essential considerations for a successful IGA program:
By focusing on these considerations, you can build an IGA program that is effective, scalable, and aligned with your business objectives.
Our Identity Governance & Administration (IGA) Assessment and Strategy service evaluates your organization’s current IAM landscape using a set of key attributes. We focus on the critical value drivers related to your business, architecture, compliance, operations, and users, considering the What, Why, How, Who, When, and Where of your IGA environment. This comprehensive approach allows us to provide a holistic view of your IGA program and recommend a scalable future state that aligns with your business objectives.
Our Assessment and Strategy deliverables include:
This service helps you strengthen your IGA capabilities, ensuring they are aligned with your strategic objectives while supporting growth and scalability.
Our Identity Governance & Administration (IGA) implementation services follow a structured approach with clear phases: Plan, Design, Build, Test, and Rollout. We combine both waterfall and agile methodologies to deliver IGA capabilities incrementally, ensuring a smooth rollout. Initially, we focus on foundational capabilities such as authoritative source integration, birthright provisioning, and access certification. In subsequent phases, we expand these capabilities by integrating additional systems and applications.
We also collaborate closely with your Organizational Change Management (OCM) team to engage stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle, ensuring successful user adoption. We provide training for your operational teams, including help desk personnel, so they can effectively support the new IGA solution. Our governance framework ensures continuous stakeholder engagement and feedback, ensuring the solution aligns with your organizational goals and delivers long-term value.
Managing user permissions across various environments and locations can be complex. Identity Governance & Administration (IGA) simplifies this process by securing user access, managing permissions, and ensuring compliance. Below are some of the key benefits IGA provides:
Role Management and Duty Segregation
By segregating duties and managing user roles, organizations can balance security with business needs, reducing security risks and complexity. IGA solutions, such as role-based access control, lower compliance costs, improve risk management, and establish repeatable practices for easier access certification and auditing processes.
Sophisticated Auditing, Integration, and Intelligence
IGA empowers stakeholders with valuable intelligence and data from transaction records, supported by ad-hoc reporting. It facilitates broader integrations and helps implement end-to-end governance while enabling custom development for more tailored solutions.
Eliminate Waste-Related Business Impacts
IGA solutions help mitigate security risks and eliminate waste-related impacts by instituting remediation and provisioning strategies. With a clear architectural plan and detailed roadmap, businesses can seamlessly transition to more advanced governance tools.
Adapt to Organizational Changes
IGA enables businesses to quickly adapt to organizational changes, such as expansions or restructuring. By automating adjustments to user access permissions and roles, IGA significantly reduces the time it takes for companies to respond to changes at both the user and enterprise levels.
More Reliable Application Onboarding
With IGA, organizations can speed up application deployment by creating a repeatable, reliable onboarding process. This model not only streamlines application onboarding but also improves data access and demonstrates better application functionality.
By implementing IGA, businesses can streamline operations, improve security, and more effectively manage access, all while reducing operational costs and ensuring compliance.
We evaluate your current cybersecurity posture and architecture to identify gaps and vulnerabilities that could compromise your security. Our process ensures compatibility by eliminating solutions that fail to integrate effectively, providing a streamlined and secure system tailored to your needs.
We ensure your policies and controls meet regulatory compliance standards and follow identity and access management best practices. Our approach also focuses on aligning solutions with your organization’s existing capabilities, enhancing both compliance and operational efficiency.
We thoroughly review, analyze, and compare current and emerging technologies to recommend the best products and controls that reduce risk. Our team ensures seamless integration and optimization of solutions, tailored to meet the specific needs of your organization and environment.
