Identity & Access Management (IAM)

Least privilege that survives contact with reality, plus the joiner-mover-leaver process to keep it that way.

Overview

Identity is where most real incidents begin, and access reviews are the task organisations most reliably postpone. Permissions accumulate: someone covers a role for a fortnight, changes team, or leaves and keeps a service account alive that nobody can safely disable.

We clean up what exists, design a role model that matches how your organisation actually works, and implement the lifecycle process that stops the problem returning within a year.

What you get

Least privilege in practice

Roles built from observed access patterns rather than from an idealised org chart nobody follows.

Privileged access controlled

Just-in-time elevation and approval for administrative rights, with a complete audit trail.

Lifecycle automated

Joiner, mover and leaver processes wired to your HR system so access changes when people do.

Secrets and keys managed

Long-lived credentials replaced with short-lived tokens and workload identity wherever the platform allows.

How we work

  1. 01

    Discover

    Every identity, role and permission catalogued, including service accounts and external access.

  2. 02

    Rationalise

    Unused access removed and a role model designed around genuine job functions.

  3. 03

    Implement

    Roles, conditional access, MFA and privileged access management deployed in stages to avoid lockouts.

  4. 04

    Sustain

    Scheduled access reviews and automated lifecycle triggers so permissions stay current.

Common questions

Will tightening access break things?

It can if done carelessly, which is why we work from observed usage and roll out in stages with monitoring and a clear back-out at each step.

What about service accounts?

They are usually the worst offenders. We inventory them, identify owners, and replace long-lived keys with workload identity wherever the platform supports it.

Do you work with Entra ID and Okta?

Yes, along with AWS IAM Identity Center and Google Cloud IAM. Most environments end up federating several of these.

Cloud Security

Posture review and hardening across AWS, Azure and GCP, ending in a prioritised remediation plan.
