Identity & Access Management
Identity and access management (IAM) is a core element of modern IT security. It ensures that only authorized users and devices gain access to the right data and resources at the right time. IAM protects against data misuse and unauthorized access and provides the basis for data protection and auditability.
IAM also enables zero trust: identities are verified, access is authenticated and authorized, and the principle “never trust, always verify” is applied. This reduces the attack surface and protects data on an ongoing basis.
Typical challenges
The introduction or optimisation of IAM systems is challenging. The reasons for this are often:
-
legacy and heterogeneous IT landscapes
- multiple identity sources and target systems
- complex, non-transparent authorization structures
- high requirements for security and audit trails
Our experience and approach
We have extensive experience in user lifecycle management, from HR source systems through IAM platforms to Active Directory, Entra ID, and other target systems.
We do not treat IAM as an isolated tool but as part of the overall IT and business architecture. We analyze system landscapes, identify interfaces and dependencies, and design processes that meet both security and business requirements.
Our focus is on a consistent identity and permission lifecycle: automated creation of user accounts, role- and policy-based assignment of rights, approval workflows, self-services and audit-compliant deprovisioning. This relieves IT, reduces risks, and increases transparency. At the same time, we ensure compliance with ISO 27001, NIS 2 and sector-specific rules.
What sets us apart
We combine deep IAM technology expertise with process and architecture competence. We understand how systems interact and what users actually experience. This makes IAM workable in practice, secure in operation and sustainable in the organisation.
