IAM solutions

We implement identity and access management so the right people reach the right resources at the right time. Every access decision is traceable and provable.

  • Role-based access control
  • Access logs for GDPR and ISO 27001

The problem IAM solves

Who can access what, and who decided that

Without proper identity management, years of unused accounts, unreviewed permissions and shared passwords pile up. Nobody dares change them, because nobody knows what breaks.

The most common concrete case is a departed employee whose account stays active, because accounts live in a dozen separate services and no single list exists. The second is a growing company where setting up each new hire takes days, because no step has been described.

Tidying access is part of a bigger picture. If you do not yet have an overview of the whole environment, start with IT management or order IT consulting.

What the client gets

An access setup you can show at an audit

The result is a system you can run day to day without us, and defend when someone asks who had access and why.

Single sign-on (SSO)

One unified login for all company applications, with user instructions included.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA)

An additional protection layer that significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access.

Role-based access control

A role model where each user holds only the permissions the job requires, exceptions need approval.

User lifecycle management

Joining, role change and leaving described and, where possible, automated end to end.

Access logs and compliance

Complete access history and reports for GDPR and ISO 27001 requirements.

Privileged access management

PAM for admin accounts and critical systems, so the highest-risk access gets the closest control.

How we work

We start from a list, not a product

The first question is which systems exist and who exists in them today. Everything else is built on that list.

  1. 01
    Inventory of accounts and permissionsAcross all relevant systems, including the ones bought on a department budget.
  2. 02
    Role definitionWhich rights come with a job, and what counts as an exception needing approval.
  3. 03
    SSO and MFA rolloutWherever the systems support it, so users sign in once and reach every connected application.
  4. 04
    Employee lifecycle processJoining, role change and leaving described and, where possible, automated.
  5. 05
    Logging and periodic reviewSo permissions do not quietly grow back after they are cleaned up.

Who it suits

Regular staff turnover, or access you must be able to prove

IAM suits companies running more than a handful of cloud services with regular staff turnover, and organisations with compliance requirements from client contracts or regulation that must evidence who accessed data. It matters most when you plan remote work, allow personal devices, or give external partners limited access to your systems.

IAM and protective layers work together: see also IT security solutions and, for devices and licences, SaaS management.

Questions

What clients ask before starting an IAM project

What is IAM in plain language.

IAM means the organised management of user identities and access rights. In practice it is three things: who the user is, what they are allowed to access and how that is proven. It covers single sign-on, multi-factor authentication and role-based permissions.

Does MFA make daily work more annoying.

Configured correctly, MFA reduces the number of logins rather than increasing it. When MFA is paired with single sign-on, a user signs in once in the morning and then reaches every connected application. It becomes annoying only when each system prompts separately, which is exactly what we avoid.

Does IAM work with our existing systems.

In most cases yes, if the systems support standard protocols such as SAML or OpenID Connect. During the inventory we flag older or niche systems that cannot join single sign-on and agree how to manage them safely.

How quickly can a leaver's access be closed.

In a tidy environment access closes within the same working day, often within minutes. That assumes accounts are tied to one identity source and the offboarding process is described, which is usually among the first results of the project.

Does IAM help with GDPR.

Yes, on the technical side. IAM provides an evidenced overview of who accessed personal data and when, and lets you limit rights to the necessary minimum. This is one of the most repeated questions in audits and in the security annexes of client contracts.
