WHAT WE DO

Achieve Total Control With Identity Governance and Administration Solutions

Managing user identities and access rights remains one of the most critical challenges for modern organisations. Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) solutions provide a robust framework to address this challenge delivering comprehensive control over user access across increasingly complex and hybrid IT environments.

What is Identity Governance and Administration?

Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) is a strategic approach to managing digital identities and access rights within an organisation. As a vital component of Identity and Access Management (IAM), IGA combines identity management with access governance to enforce strict controls over who can access sensitive data and critical systems.

IGA solutions are designed to tackle the complexity of modern IT landscapes by automating user provisioning, access requests, and enforcing separation of duties. These tools act as a strategic compass, guiding organisations through the intricate landscape of identity management security policies, and compliance mandates. Importantly, modern IGA programmes extend beyond human users to include non-human identities such as service accounts, workloads, and machine credentials, ensuring comprehensive coverage across all identity types.

86 %

of users have excessive access rights, increasing security risks (BeyondTrust)

65 %

of companies maintain over 1,000 stale user accounts, posing compliance challenges (Varonis)

80 %

of data breaches in 2019 were attributed to password compromise, highlighting the need for robust identity controls (IDAgent)

Key Features of Identity Governance and Administration Solutions

Identity Governance and Administration solutions provide essential features that empower organisations to maintain strict control over privileged access while streamlining business processes. These solutions integrate automated access reviews, centralised identity management, and role-based access control (RBAC) to enhance security posture and ensure regulatory compliance.

Key components of IGA include:

Identity lifecycle management - automating onboarding, role changes, and offboarding
Access recertification - periodic review and validation of user access rights
Role-based access control - assigning permissions based on job functions
Access request and approval workflows - ensuring proper authorisation
Segregation of duties - preventing conflicting access rights
Service desk integration - streamlining support and incident management

Challenges Businesses Face That IGA Can Solve

At its core, Identity Governance and Administration protects your business from data breaches and cybersecurity incidents by ensuring that only authorised users have access to systems at any given time.

With IT systems and applications distributed across multiple technologies and cloud providers, the manual effort to maintain accurate and up-to-date access rights is substantial and prone to human 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 indispensable for secure and efficient business operations. To understand its importance, consider these key questions:

Benefits of Identity Governance and Administration

Deploying an Identity Governance and Administration solution delivers substantial benefits, including risk reduction related to identity mismanagement, enhanced visibility into access entitlements, and improved business agility through rapid user provisioning. By enforcing the principle of least privilege and facilitating comprehensive internal audits, IGA solutions strengthen security across various platforms and environments.

Manage Access with Ease

IGA solutions efficiently manage access rights and identities for internal employees, external partners, customers, and contractors, ensuring appropriate permissions at all times.

Automated User Lifecycle Management

Automate provisioning, modification, and deprovisioning of user access throughout the entire lifecycle, reducing administrative overhead and accelerating time to value.

Simplify Compliance

Streamline access requests, approvals, and recertification processes while automating audit reporting to meet regulatory requirements with confidence.

Reduce Operational Costs

Eliminate manual tasks and minimise human error through automated IGA workflows, resulting in significant cost savings and improved efficiency.

Accelerate Time-to-Value

Implement IGA solutions using a phased, fixed-scope approach tailored to your organisation’s size, industry, and IT maturity, delivering fast and measurable results.

Mitigate Risks of Failure

Leverage proven methodologies, best practices, and Intragen’s extensive experience from hundreds of successful IGA projects to avoid costly mistakes and ensure world-class implementation.

The IGA solutions we provide

One Identity

One Identity offers a comprehensive cybersecurity platform and unified identity security solution designed to protect your people, applications, and data effectively.

Okta

Okta is a leader in the Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS) market, known for its comprehensive features, excellent customer support, broad market adoption, and Enterprise Mobility Management capabilities.

SailPoint

SailPoint is a leading vendor specialising in Identity Governance and Administration solutions, offering platforms with compliance reporting, password management, and user provisioning functionalities.

Role-based Access Control to Enhance Security

Role-based access control (RBAC) strengthens security by assigning permissions strictly based on job functions, adhering to the principle of least privilege. This approach integrates seamlessly with data governance frameworks, ensuring users access only the resources necessary for their roles.

Advanced RBAC systems now incorporate machine learning to analyse user behaviour patterns, enabling organisations to dynamically refine access policies. This enhances security posture while maintaining operational efficiency and user productivity.

Understanding the Importance of Regulatory Compliance

Regulatory compliance is a cornerstone for organisations implementing Identity Governance and Administration solutions. Navigating complex regulatory frameworks requires comprehensive audit readiness, transparent reporting, and building trust with stakeholders.

IGA solutions increasingly incorporate robotic process automation (RPA) and artificial intelligence (AI) to manage credentials and system interfaces efficiently, ensuring adherence to regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other industry-specific standards.
