Identity Governance & Administration Services
Our comprehensive assessment and implementation services are based on a set of key program attributes that help shape the requirements and create an IGA capability that delivers value to key stakeholders within your enterprise.
What Business Security Issues Do IGA Services Cover?
Robust policies for on-premises or cloud-based identity governance solutions are a mainstay of strong security. But why are identity governance and administration important? IGA policies can mitigate risks like supply-chain hacks and ransomware. It’s unfortunately common for the majority of businesses to experience identity-related breaches due to weak IAM processes – on-premises and cloud identity governance and administration policies can keep unauthorized privilege escalation and unauthorized system access-related security breaches at bay. A strong identity governance and administration system goes a long way toward helping businesses know when to remove user access to applications and systems that is no longer necessary.
5 Key Considerations for a Successful IGA Program
Identity Governance & Administration, sometimes referred to as identity security, touches many parts of your organization and needs to be managed in a manner that addresses key requirements for various stakeholders. The top five key considerations for an IGA program are:
- Stakeholder alignment to make sure key requirements from various stakeholders are documented
- Breaking down the overall scope to multiple phases to allow for the delivery of incremental features/capabilities – ultimately improving time to market for high-priority items
- Governance and organizational change management to engage with stakeholders and report on the progress of implementation of key requirements
- Process standardization to help reduce total cost of ownership
- Training for operational staff, users, and help-desk personnel to drive solution adoption and operational efficiency
IGA Implementation Services
Our implementation services are delivered in Plan, Design, Build, Test, and Rollout phases for your Identity Governance and Administration solution. Our delivery methodology is based on a blend of waterfall and agile approaches to incrementally roll out IGA capabilities. This approach helps in rolling out capabilities in phases, typically delivering foundational capabilities such as authoritative source integration and birthright provisioning, access certification during the initial phase, and expanding the foundational capability in subsequent phases to integrate additional systems and applications.
We also work with your Organizational Change Management (OCM) team to communicate with various stakeholders through the project lifecycle to drive user adoption and help train your operational teams including the help desk to enable them to effectively support the new identity governance solution. We leverage our governance framework to engage various stakeholders through the lifecycle of the project to obtain ongoing guidance and feedback aimed at delivering IGA capabilities that align with your organizational goals.
