Identity & Access Management
Single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, joiner-mover-leaver automation, privileged access control and access reviews that make sure the right people have the right access, and no more.
Capability overview
What identity & access management involves
Stolen or misused credentials sit behind a large share of breaches, so identity has become the main security perimeter. Identity and access management makes sign-in both safer and simpler: one identity per person, strong authentication, and access that changes automatically when roles change.
Work typically centres on an identity provider such as Microsoft Entra ID, Okta or Google Workspace, connected to HR records for joiners, movers and leavers, with privileged accounts separated and time-limited. Protocols such as SAML, OpenID Connect and SCIM connect applications.
What is included
Core components
Single sign-on
Business applications connected to one identity provider through SAML or OpenID Connect, removing separate passwords for each system.
Multi-factor authentication
MFA enforced for all users with conditional access rules, moving administrators and high-risk roles to phishing-resistant methods such as FIDO2 keys or passkeys.
Lifecycle automation
Accounts created, changed and disabled from HR system events, with SCIM provisioning into SaaS applications so leavers lose access on their last day.
Privileged access management
Admin rights granted just in time with approval and recording, and shared administrator passwords moved into a vault.
How we work
How we deliver identity & access management
Identity discovery
Directories, applications and local accounts inventoried, including orphaned accounts belonging to people who have left.
Target design
Authoritative source of identity, role model, authentication policy and application onboarding priority agreed.
MFA and SSO rollout
Users enrolled in waves with communication and helpdesk scripts, starting with email and remote access.
Lifecycle integration
HR system connected, provisioning rules built and tested with real joiner, mover and leaver scenarios.
Access certification
Quarterly reviews set up so managers confirm who should still have access to sensitive applications.

Questions & answers
Questions about Identity & Access Management
Cannot find what you need? Our team responds to technical and commercial questions within one business day.
Ask a questionMost engagements use Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Google Workspace or Keycloak. We usually build on the platform you already license rather than introducing a new one.
Often yes, through application proxies, header-based authentication or password vaulting. Where none of those work, the application is flagged for modernisation.
MFA and SSO for core applications can be live in four to eight weeks. Full lifecycle automation and privileged access usually follow over the next two to three months.
Workforce IAM is the focus of this service. Customer identity, such as sign-up, social login and consent for your own users, is designed separately because its scale, privacy and user experience needs are different.
