Identity and access

Identity and access management consulting for Okta and Entra ID

Attackers increasingly log in instead of breaking in. We assess how identities are created, authenticated and retired across your organization, then design and implement single sign-on, MFA, privileged access and lifecycle controls that close the gaps.

Why it matters

Identity is now the front door

With people working from anywhere and most applications in the cloud, the account is what stands between an attacker and your data. Stolen passwords, reused credentials, MFA fatigue attacks and forgotten accounts from former staff are common starting points for breaches.

Identity and access management brings order to that. It decides who gets access to what, proves they are who they say they are and removes access when it is no longer needed. Our IAM services cover the strategy, the configuration and the evidence your auditors want to see.

What our identity and access management consulting covers

IAM assessment

A review of directories, authentication, access rights, admin accounts and joiner-mover-leaver processes, with a risk-ranked roadmap.

Single sign-on and MFA

SSO for cloud and on-premises applications and phishing-resistant MFA, rolled out in phases your users can follow.

Conditional access

Policies that weigh user, device, location and risk before granting access to sensitive applications.

Privileged access management services

Separate admin accounts, just-in-time elevation, vaulting and monitoring for the accounts that can do the most damage.

Identity lifecycle

Automated provisioning and deprovisioning tied to HR events, plus periodic access reviews for managers and application owners.

Identity threat detection

Monitoring for risky sign-ins and compromised accounts through our managed detection and response service.

How it works

From IAM assessment to a working identity program

1

Assess

We map your identity sources, applications, admin accounts and processes, and score them against good practice and your compliance needs.

2

Design

We design the target identity architecture in Okta, Microsoft Entra ID or both, with policies and a phased rollout plan.

3

Implement

Our engineers configure SSO, MFA, conditional access and privileged access, testing with pilot groups before wider rollout.

4

Operate and monitor

We document the setup, train your team and can feed identity alerts into 24/7 monitoring.

FAQ

Identity and access management questions

IAM consulting covers the assessment, design and implementation of how users and systems authenticate and what they can access. It typically includes single sign-on, MFA, conditional access, privileged access controls, lifecycle automation and access reviews.

An IAM assessment reviews your directories, authentication methods, access rights, admin accounts and joiner-mover-leaver processes. You get a list of risks ranked by impact and a roadmap to fix them.

Privileged access management controls the accounts that can change systems, such as domain and cloud administrators. It separates those accounts from everyday use, limits when they are active and records what they do.

Both are capable identity platforms. Organizations centered on Microsoft 365 often use Entra ID, while others use Okta for its broad application integrations. Many run both, and we help you decide which should be the primary source of identity.

Cost depends on the number of users and applications, how many identity sources you have, the complexity of your admin accounts and how much implementation you want us to do. We scope an assessment first and give you a proposal for each phase.

Strong identity is the foundation of zero trust. Every access decision starts with verifying the user and device, so most zero trust programs begin with IAM work.
