WHAT WE DO

Achieve Total Control With Identity Governance and Administration Solutions

Managing user identities and access rights is a critical challenge for organisations. Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) solutions offer a powerful way to address this issue, providing comprehensive control over user access across complex IT environments.

What is Identity Governance and Administration?

Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) is a comprehensive approach to managing digital identities and access rights within an organisation. As a framework within Identity and Access Management, it combines identity management and access governance to ensure proper controls over user access to sensitive data and systems.

IGA solutions address the complexity of modern IT environments by automating user provisioning, access requests, and separation of duties. These tools serve as a compass, guiding organisations through the intricate landscape of identity management and compliance requirements.

Key features of Identity Governance and Administration solutions

Identity Governance and Administration solutions offer key features that enable organisations to achieve total control over privileged access and streamline business processes. These solutions incorporate automated access reviews, centralised identity management, and role-based access control to enhance security and compliance.

Key components of IGA include:

Identity lifecycle management
Access recertification
Role-based access control
Access request and approval
Segregation of duties
Service desk integration

The challenges businesses face that IGA can solve

Primarily, Identity Governance and Administration is there to protect your business from data breaches and cybersecurity incidents by only allowing system access for the users you permit at any given time.

With systems and applications spread across many technologies and providers, the manual effort required to keep these up to date and correct is huge, as well as prone to error.

Managing countless identities, including those moving within the business, joining as new starters, and leavers. This is incredibly time consuming to be done manually, as well as prone to human error.

Technology is continually evolving. Your business is growing. This means more users and more variety in the devices across your network to track and protect. The types of threats are changing daily.

You now have to deal with the growing need to maintain regulatory compliance across on-premises and cloud-based infrastructure. This is whilst balancing industry standards and government policies.

Data breaches are targeting accounts within your business that are left orphaned and unused. This often leads to a costly recovery and a damaged company reputation, which is hard to come back from.

Organisations face increasing security vulnerabilities in hybrid environments. Well implemented IGA tools can analyse behaviour patterns across your networks, flagging suspicious activity.

Why does your business need IGA?

IGA is vital for business operations. Why? To answer this, we need to consider three important questions for any organisation who are considering their IGA position:

- How does IGA link to improved business performance?
- What are the risks of not having good IGA controls in place?
- What are the options for implementing an IGA solution?

IGA might seem abstract and hard to grasp. Check out our blog for a clear, concise overview of the essentials!

Advanced RBAC systems incorporate machine learning to analyse user behaviour patterns. This means organisations can refine access policies dynamically, improving security posture while maintaining operational efficiency.

Understanding the importance of regulatory compliance

Regulatory compliance is crucial for organisations implementing Identity Governance and Administration solutions. This section explores navigating complex regulatory frameworks, ensuring audit readiness through comprehensive reporting, and building stakeholder trust.

It examines how IGA solutions, incorporating robotic process automation and artificial intelligence, help manage credentials and interfaces while adhering to regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation.
