Identity & Access Management (IAM)
The right person, the right access, the right moment — and nothing more.
Identity & Access Management is zero-trust identity across your workforce, your customers, and your machines: single sign-on, phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication, least-privilege access, and lifecycle automation that revokes access the day a role ends rather than the quarter after.
What it does
Almost every serious breach now begins with an identity. A password reused from a leaked site, a multi-factor prompt approved by a tired employee, a contractor whose access was never removed, a service account with a key from 2019 and permissions nobody remembers granting. Firewalls and encryption do not help when the attacker is logging in with valid credentials, and most organisations have far more of those credentials than they know about.
We make identity the control plane it should be. Every application authenticates against one identity provider, so there is one place to enforce policy and one place to revoke. Multi-factor authentication is upgraded to methods that cannot be phished. Access is granted by role and attribute, reviewed on a schedule, and removed automatically when someone moves or leaves. Privileged access is brokered and recorded. And the identities that are not people — services, workloads, pipelines — are given the same discipline, because attackers do not distinguish.
Capabilities
Single sign-on and federation
Every application — SaaS, internal, legacy — authenticates through one identity provider. Users get one login; you get one place to enforce policy, watch sessions, and pull the plug.
Phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication
Hardware keys and platform passkeys replace one-time codes and push prompts that attackers have learned to defeat. Enforced for everyone, with a recovery path that does not become the new weakest link.
Role and attribute-based access design
Access is modelled from job function and context rather than copied from whoever sat in the chair before. Entitlements are reviewed on a cycle, and every grant has a documented owner and reason.
Joiner, mover, leaver automation
Accounts and entitlements are created, changed, and removed from the HR system of record. A departure at 5pm is a revoked login at 5pm — across every connected application, without a ticket.
Privileged access management
Administrative access is requested for a purpose, granted for a window, brokered through a recorded session, and expires on its own. Standing admin rights become the exception that needs a justification.
Machine and service identity
Workloads, pipelines, and integrations authenticate with short-lived credentials issued on demand rather than long-lived keys in config files. Rotation is automatic and revocation is immediate.
Frameworks we work against
Identity is built on open protocols so it works with what you already run and does not lock you into a single vendor's directory.
- SAML 2.0
- Federated single sign-on for the enterprise applications that still speak it, integrated alongside modern protocols.
- OIDC / OAuth 2.1
- Modern authentication and delegated authorisation for web, mobile, and API access, with current best-practice profiles.
- FIDO2 / WebAuthn
- The standards behind passkeys and hardware security keys — authentication that cannot be phished or replayed.
- SCIM
- Automated user and group provisioning into applications, so lifecycle changes propagate without manual admin work.
- NIST SP 800-63
- Digital identity guidelines for identity proofing, authenticator assurance, and federation assurance levels.
- NIST SP 800-207
- Zero-trust architecture, with identity as the primary policy decision point for every access request.
Why teams bring us in
— Access expires when the role does
Lifecycle automation means there is no gap between someone leaving and their access leaving with them — and no quarterly clean-up of accounts that should have been closed months ago.
— Passwords stop being the weakest link
With passkeys and hardware keys enforced, a leaked password or a convincing phishing page gets an attacker nothing. The most common breach path is closed, not mitigated.
— Every grant has an owner and a reason
Access reviews stop being a rubber stamp because each entitlement is tied to a role, a business justification, and a person accountable for it. Auditors get answers; you get a smaller attack surface.
