Identity is the new perimeter. We implement enterprise IAM from IdP consolidation and phishing-resistant MFA to CyberArk PAM, SailPoint IGA, and zero standing privileges, so every access decision is explicit, verified, and audited.
Over 80% of breaches involve compromised credentials, and most organizations give attackers everything they need once they have a valid account: standing Domain Admin access, no session recording, and no anomaly detection on privileged activity. IAM is the most high-leverage security investment available.
We implement IAM from the identity foundation up, covering Entra ID/Okta SSO with SAML 2.0/OIDC and SCIM provisioning across 200+ app connectors, FIDO2/WebAuthn phishing-resistant MFA that eliminates credential phishing entirely, CyberArk Privilege Cloud for PAM with vault rotation and session recording, and SailPoint IdentityNow for IGA with automated access reviews and Separation of Duties enforcement.
Key differentiator: We implement Zero Standing Privileges as the end state. No admin account has permanent privileged access. All elevation is JIT (Just-in-Time) via PIM or CyberArk, time-limited, requires justification, and is fully session-recorded. The time window for attacker abuse of compromised privileged credentials collapses from unlimited to hours.
The specific IAM capabilities and tools we deploy to make identity your strongest security control.
Entra ID (Azure AD) and Okta/Ping Identity deployment with SSO for all applications, using SAML 2.0 for legacy apps and OIDC for modern cloud apps. SCIM automated provisioning and deprovisioning across 200+ pre-built connectors. B2B federation for partner organizations and B2C for external users. Hybrid on-premise integration via Entra Connect Sync with password hash synchronization. Unified identity for cloud and on-premise resources with seamless SSO.
FIDO2/WebAuthn hardware security keys (YubiKey 5 series, Google Titan) for privileged users, phishing-resistant by cryptographic design with no interception possible. Microsoft Authenticator with number matching and additional context for standard users, eliminating MFA fatigue attacks. Conditional Access risk-based step-up authentication means users see MFA only when risk signals indicate unusual activity. Passwordless Phone Sign-in for frictionless daily use with strong security.
CyberArk Privilege Cloud for enterprise PAM, with password vault automatic rotation (service accounts, local admin, database credentials), session recording with full video replay, and a privileged session manager that eliminates direct access to target systems. BeyondTrust PAM for mixed environments. JIT access provisioning: admins request access, receive time-limited credentials, and the session auto-terminates. Break-glass procedures for emergency access with mandatory post-use justification and audit review.
SailPoint IdentityNow and Saviynt for enterprise IGA, with automated access reviews on quarterly/annual cadence and manager certification workflow. Role mining to identify actual access patterns vs. assigned roles. Separation of Duties (SoD) policy enforcement detects and remediates conflicting access rights across financial and compliance-sensitive applications. Automated provisioning/deprovisioning across 200+ app connectors: joiners provisioned in minutes, leavers deprovisioned instantly on HR termination trigger.
Microsoft Entra Conditional Access with 47 named locations, sign-in risk policies (medium-risk = MFA required, high-risk = block), user risk policies (leaked credentials = password reset forced), device compliance requirement for sensitive applications, and app-enforced restrictions for unmanaged devices. Okta FastPass continuous authentication, re-evaluates user and device health continuously without prompting users. Session token lifetime policies reducing persistent session abuse.
Azure AD Privileged Identity Management (PIM) for all Azure role assignments, Global Admin, Subscription Owner, Key Vault Administrator all require JIT activation with business justification, MFA, and time-limited assignment (1-8 hours). Time-limited group memberships for on-premise admin groups. CyberArk workflow for privileged server access. Break-glass accounts in sealed envelopes with monitored credential use. SailPoint access reviews verifying no permanent high-privilege roles remain in steady state.
IAM transformation touches every user, every application, and every privileged account in the organization. We sequence the work to maximize security impact while minimizing user disruption: security wins first, end-user friction last.
Our IAM architects hold Entra ID, Okta Certified Professional, CyberArk Defender, and SailPoint IdentityNow Engineer certifications. We have deployed IAM programs from 500-user nonprofits to 50,000-user federal agencies.
Inventory all identity stores (AD forests, LDAP directories, local accounts, service accounts), privileged accounts, and application SSO status. Identify accounts with permanent admin rights, never-expire passwords, stale accounts, and shared credentials. Assess current MFA coverage and authentication method quality. Deliverable: identity risk report with prioritized remediation backlog, which often exposes immediate critical risks addressable in 30 days.
Consolidate fragmented identity stores into Entra ID or Okta as the single IdP. Migrate application authentication from local credentials to SSO, SAML 2.0 for legacy apps, OIDC for modern apps. Configure SCIM provisioning for automated lifecycle management. Establish identity federation for B2B partners. Priority: high-value applications first (financial systems, HR, email), then long tail.
Phase 1: Enforce MFA for all users using Microsoft Authenticator with number matching (30 days to deploy 5,000 users). Phase 2: Deploy FIDO2 hardware keys for all privileged users and executives (phishing-resistant). Phase 3: Enable Passwordless Phone Sign-in for general users, eliminates password as attack vector. Conditional Access policies require MFA for all apps, enforce phishing-resistant MFA for privileged roles.
Deploy CyberArk Privilege Cloud, onboard all privileged accounts (domain admin, local admin, service accounts, database credentials) to the vault. Configure automatic password rotation schedules. Deploy Privileged Session Manager to eliminate direct admin access to servers. Enable session recording for all privileged sessions. Activate JIT access workflow, admins request, approve, receive time-limited credentials. Full deployment across 500 privileged accounts in 60 days.
SailPoint IdentityNow deployment: connect all authoritative sources (HR, AD, cloud apps), configure role model from role mining results, launch first quarterly access review campaign. Configure SoD detection rules for compliance-sensitive applications. Automate joiner/mover/leaver workflows, new hire access provisioned in minutes, terminations deprovisioned in real-time on HR notification. Ongoing quarterly access review cadence with exception tracking.
How IAM programs are eliminating credential-based threats and achieving compliance across sectors.
Deployed Microsoft Authenticator passwordless sign-in with FIDO2 hardware keys for executives and privileged users across a 10,000-user financial services firm. Rollout completed in 8 weeks using phased department-by-department approach. Post-deployment: zero successful phishing attacks on enrolled users (12 months), password reset help desk tickets down 73%, user satisfaction with authentication improved to 4.4/5 from 2.8/5.
Zero phishing attacks on enrolled usersDeployed CyberArk Privilege Cloud for a healthcare organization with 1,200 privileged accounts, domain admins, service accounts, database credentials, network device credentials. 100% vaulted and rotating within 90 days. Session recording enabled for all privileged access. Discovery scan found 340 previously unknown privileged accounts (shadow admin accounts). JIT access eliminated standing admin rights, attacker window for privilege abuse reduced from permanent to 1-8 hours.
340 shadow admin accounts discovered and vaultedImplemented SailPoint IdentityNow for a publicly traded company requiring SOX-compliant access controls. Role model built from 18 months of access log analysis, 340 business roles created from 1,200+ unique access combinations. Quarterly SOX access review campaigns automated: what previously required 6 weeks of manual spreadsheet management now completes in 4 days via manager self-service portal. Zero audit findings in three consecutive SOX audits post-implementation.
