Identity & Access Management
Identity and access management (IAM) is how your organisation verifies who someone is and controls what they can reach. Done well, it improves security and makes work easier.
One secure sign-in for many applications. Users remember fewer passwords, and your team can switch access on or off from one place.
Business scenario · example
A company uses 30 cloud apps, each with its own password. Staff reuse passwords and IT resets several each week. With SSO, people sign in once, and access can be removed centrally when someone leaves.
A second proof of identity — such as an authenticator app or security key — so a stolen password alone is not enough.
Business scenario · example
A finance team member receives a convincing phishing email and enters their password. Phishing-resistant MFA blocks the attacker from signing in, even with the correct password.
A repeatable process that grants, changes and removes access as people join, change roles or leave — ideally triggered by HR records.
Business scenario · example
An employee moves from sales to marketing but keeps access to the customer pricing system. A mover process removes old access automatically when the role changes.
Periodic checks where managers or application owners confirm who still needs access, with decisions recorded for audit.
Business scenario · example
Ahead of an audit, a business cannot show who approved access to its payroll system. Quarterly reviews with recorded decisions provide that evidence.
Everyone gets the minimum access they need to do their job, for only as long as they need it.
Business scenario · example
Developers have permanent administrator rights to production. Moving to role-based access with temporary elevation reduces the impact if one account is compromised.
Extra controls for admin and service accounts: vaulted credentials, approval, time-limited elevation and session oversight.
Business scenario · example
Several IT staff share one domain admin password stored in a spreadsheet. A privileged access approach replaces it with individual, approved, time-limited access.
New starter receives the access their role needs from day one — approved, not copied from a colleague.
When someone changes role, new access is added and access they no longer need is removed.
Access is revoked promptly across all systems when someone leaves, including shared and admin accounts.
Owners regularly confirm who still needs access, and exceptions are recorded and resolved.
