Start with your priorities
What’s your
IAM challenge?
Choose the situation closest to yours to see where we can help. Every engagement starts with understanding your organisation.
What we do
Move your IAM programme
from plans to progress.
Bring in an individual specialist or support across your project: project and programme managers, subject matter experts (SMEs), business analysts and technical architects, working from discovery through to live service.
Identity governance
Design joiner, mover and leaver processes, access reviews and role models that give people appropriate access with clear accountability.
Privileged access management
Strengthen control over administrative access through privileged identity management, approval processes and defined operating procedures.
Project & programme delivery
Project and programme managers to plan delivery, coordinate teams and suppliers, manage risks and dependencies, and drive implementation through to handover.
Business analysis & requirements
Business analysts to lead discovery workshops, map processes and capture business, functional and non-functional requirements, with traceability and clear acceptance criteria.
IAM subject matter experts
Specialist SMEs to advise on identity governance, privileged access and lifecycle controls, resolve delivery questions and support informed decisions across your programme.
Procurement & vendor selection
Support market evaluation, RFI and RFP requirements, supplier demonstrations and scoring. Compare proposals against your business needs and support procurement decisions.
Solution & technical architecture
Technical architects to translate requirements into solution designs, integration patterns, security controls and implementation guidance that fit your wider environment.
Integration, testing & assurance
Support application onboarding, lifecycle automation, testing and audit remediation. Define control ownership, document solutions and prepare teams for live service.
Identity in motion
A new role should
mean new access.
Follow a fictional employee from Finance to Marketing, then through leaving the organisation. Select each stage to see their permissions change.
At the Move stage, switch on “Miss the old-access removal” to see how access accumulates.
A simplified illustration. Actual access depends on approved responsibilities, policy and application design.
