Identity and Access Management (IAM) Implementation
Implementing an IAM/IGA system is essential for protecting organisational assets, providing a better end-user experience, and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. We follow a structured approach and adhere to best practices for IAM/IDAM implementation so that organisations can effectively manage identities and control access to their resources.
Components of IAM Implementation
Identity Management
User Identification: Assign unique identifiers to users.
Authentication: Verify user identity using passwords, biometrics, or multi-factor authentication (MFA).
Access Management
Authorization: Determine what resources a user can access based on roles and policies.
Access Control: Enforce policies to grant or deny access to resources.
Directory Services
User Directories: Centralized repositories to store and manage user identities.
Synchronization: Consistency across multiple directories.
Governance and Compliance
Policy Management: Create and manage IAM policies.
Auditing and Reporting: Monitor access and generate reports for compliance.
