Identity and Access Management (IAM)

Identity and access management (IAM) is the set of processes and tools that decides who can access what in your organisation. With remote work and dozens of cloud applications, a firewall is no longer enough. According to the Verizon DBIR 2025, credential abuse is the most common way attackers get in. We design and implement IAM so that only authorised people reach your resources, from any location and device.

Executive summary: We implement a central identity system (Microsoft Entra ID or Okta) with single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA) and automated access provisioning and revocation synchronised with your HR system. Microsoft research (2023) shows that MFA cuts account compromise risk by 99.22%. For a manufacturing client with over 500 employees we cut access provisioning from 3 days to 15 minutes. A simple SSO and MFA rollout takes 3–4 weeks.

Identity Is The New Security Perimeter of the Enterprise

In a world of remote work and dozens of cloud applications, traditional firewalls are no longer sufficient. Over 68% of security incidents begin with a compromised account. We design and implement IAM systems that ensure only authorized individuals have access to the appropriate resources, from any location and device.

Challenges

Challenges in Digital Identity Management

Organizations without a centralized IAM system face chaos that often remains invisible until it is too late.

A Stolen Password Opens All Doors

According to the Verizon DBIR 2025, credential abuse accounts for 22% of breaches and is the most common initial access vector. If an employee reuses one password across several systems, a single successful phishing attempt gives the attacker access to all of them.

Former Employees Still Have Active Accounts

Manual onboarding and offboarding processes are inefficient and create real security gaps. Every forgotten account is an open door that no one remembers.

No One Knows Who Has Access to What

Without a centralized IAM system, there is no unified view of permissions. Access audits take days, and answering the question “does a former employee still have access to the CRM?” requires manually checking multiple systems.

MFA Exists, But Not Everywhere

Enforcing MFA on selected systems only is a partial safeguard. Attackers go for the systems without a second factor, while Microsoft research (2023) shows that MFA reduces the risk of account compromise by 99.22%.

See How It Works in Practice

Client:

Manufacturing company, over 500 employees.

Challenge:

Manual onboarding and offboarding processes and chaotic access management across dozens of applications generated risk and delayed new employee onboarding.

Solution:

We implemented Microsoft Entra ID as the central identity system, integrated it with the HR system to automate the account lifecycle, and deployed SSO and mandatory MFA for all users.

Results:

Reduction of access provisioning time from 3 days to 15 minutes.

100% automation of the permission revocation process during offboarding.

70% reduction in helpdesk tickets related to passwords.

Your organization can also achieve this level of automation and security.

Our service

Control Over Who Has Access To What

We implement IAM systems so that identity management ceases to be a problem and becomes an advantage. Every project begins with an analysis of your processes, not with software installation.

IAM Platform Audit and Implementation

We analyze your processes, then implement and configure a centralized platform such as Microsoft Entra ID or Okta, tailored to the specifics of your organization.

SSO and MFA Implementation

We integrate your applications with the platform, enabling secure single sign-on and enforcing multi-factor authentication wherever sensitive data is present.

Identity Lifecycle Automation

We connect your IAM system to the HR system, so access is granted and revoked automatically with every personnel change. No manual tickets and no forgotten accounts after someone leaves.

Privileged Access Management

We protect administrator accounts and access to critical systems (PAM): just-in-time access, session recording and auditing, and separate credentials for privileged accounts.

Our process

Your Path to Organized Identities

We execute every implementation in four stages, so you know what is happening at each step.

1.

Analysis and Planning

Workshops with your team, mapping of current processes and access, architecture design.

2.

Pilot Implementation

We deploy the solution for a selected group of users to quickly demonstrate value and identify any issues.

3.

Full Implementation

We extend the system to the entire organization and all key applications.

4.

Training and Handover

We train your team and provide documentation so that system administration is simple and independent.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is a mechanism that allows employees to log in once and gain access to all authorized applications without re-entering passwords. Fewer passwords, fewer helpdesk tickets, higher security.

Modern MFA is usually a single confirmation in a phone app, and trusted devices do not need to be verified at every sign-in. Microsoft research (2023) shows that MFA reduces the risk of account compromise by 99.22%, so the small inconvenience is well worth it.

Active Directory works well on premises. With cloud applications and remote work you need a platform such as Microsoft Entra ID that extends identity management beyond the corporate network. Both can work together through account synchronisation.

Yes. Some clients begin with offboarding automation, as it represents the greatest risk. We expand the scope in subsequent phases.

A simple SSO and MFA rollout takes 3–4 weeks. Full identity lifecycle automation with HR integration usually takes 6–10 weeks, depending on the number of systems.

IAM covers all users: sign-in, permissions and the account lifecycle. PAM (Privileged Access Management) is the part dedicated to the most powerful accounts, such as administrators and access to critical systems. PAM adds just-in-time access and session recording.

We most often implement Microsoft Entra ID and Okta. We choose the platform after reviewing your applications, licences and HR system, so you do not pay twice for tools you already have.
