Modern Identity & Access Management (IAM) Services
Our Identity & Access Management (IAM) services provide the critical foundation for a Zero Trust security strategy. We help you ensure that the right people have the right access to the right resources, at the right time. From single sign-on and multi-factor authentication to privileged access management, we build a secure, seamless, and compliant access experience for your entire digital enterprise.
Is Your Organization's Access Model Built on Outdated Trust?
In a world of distributed users and cloud applications, traditional, perimeter-based access controls are no longer effective. Many organizations struggle with inconsistent access policies, a poor user experience, and a lack of control over privileged accounts. This creates a massive attack surface where a single compromised credential can lead to a catastrophic breach.
Without a mature IAM program, organizations risk:
- Credential Compromise: Phishing and weak passwords open the door to unauthorized access.
- Privilege Sprawl: Excessive permissions and orphaned accounts increase blast radius.
- Complex User Lifecycle: Manual joiner, mover, leaver processes lead to delays and errors.
- Compliance Exposure: Inconsistent access reviews and logs create audit findings and penalties.

Frequently Asked Questions about Identity & Access Management (IAM)
What is Identity & Access Management (IAM) and why is it important?
IAM is the framework of technologies and policies that ensure only the right people, with the right devices, can access the right resources at the right time. It includes tools like Single Sign-On (SSO), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Identity Governance & Administration (IGA), and Privileged Access Management (PAM). IAM reduces the risk of credential theft, simplifies user access, enforces least privilege, and provides compliance evidence for audits under DPDP, GDPR, HIPAA, SOX, and PCI DSS.
What is Zero Trust in IAM?
Zero Trust is a modern security model based on the principle of “never trust, always verify.” In IAM, this means every access request is continuously authenticated and authorized using contextual signals like device posture, user role, location, and behavior. IAM platforms like Okta, Azure AD, and CyberArk enable Zero Trust by combining MFA, adaptive authentication, and just-in-time access provisioning.
What is the difference between SSO and MFA?
Single Sign-On (SSO) lets users log in once to securely access multiple applications using standards like SAML and OIDC. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) adds additional verification layers such as OTP, push notification, FIDO2 keys, or biometrics. Together, SSO improves user experience while MFA hardens authentication against phishing and credential theft.
What is Identity Governance & Administration (IGA)?
IGA provides centralized oversight of user identities and entitlements. It automates the joiner-mover-leaver process, manages access requests, performs periodic access reviews, and ensures compliance with segregation-of-duties policies. IGA platforms like SailPoint or Saviynt integrate with HR systems to trigger automated provisioning and deprovisioning, ensuring no orphaned accounts remain.
What is Privileged Access Management (PAM)?
PAM secures accounts with elevated permissions like system admins, database owners, or service accounts. A PAM platform stores credentials in a secure vault, rotates passwords automatically, enforces just-in-time elevation, and records privileged sessions for auditability. This prevents insider abuse and blocks attackers from moving laterally after a breach.
What is Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), and how does it differ from Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC)?
RBAC assigns access rights based on roles (e.g., finance analyst, HR manager). This simplifies management at scale. ABAC goes further by enforcing rules based on attributes such as time, device type, or department. Modern IAM programs use a mix of RBAC for simplicity and ABAC for fine-grained control, aligning with zero trust principles.
Can IAM integrate with our HR or ERP system?
Yes. Integration with HR systems like Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, or Oracle HCM is a cornerstone of IGA. The HR system acts as the authoritative identity source, automatically triggering provisioning, role assignment, and deprovisioning based on employee lifecycle events. This reduces manual workload and audit findings.
Can IAM support hybrid environments with both cloud and on-premise apps?
Absolutely. IAM solutions are designed for hybrid IT. We secure SaaS platforms like Office 365, Salesforce, and AWS while also extending SSO and MFA to on-premise apps and legacy systems through connectors, federation, or application proxies. This ensures unified identity management across your digital estate.
What is adaptive or risk-based authentication?
Adaptive authentication dynamically adjusts security based on contextual risk. Low-risk logins (same user, same device, trusted network) may only require a password, while high-risk logins (new country, unrecognized device, or impossible travel) trigger stronger checks like MFA or step-up verification. This improves both security and user experience.
How does IAM support regulatory compliance?
IAM helps enterprises comply with frameworks like DPDP (India), GDPR (EU), HIPAA (Healthcare), PCI DSS (Finance), ISO 27001/27701, and SOX (US). By enforcing least privilege, automating access certifications, and maintaining audit-ready logs of who accessed what and when, IAM simplifies compliance reporting and reduces regulatory risk.
What is the difference between workforce IAM, customer IAM (CIAM), and partner IAM?
- Workforce IAM manages employees and contractors with SSO, MFA, and IGA.
- Customer IAM (CIAM) secures customer-facing apps with seamless login experiences, social logins, consent management, and privacy compliance.
- Partner IAM enables secure B2B access via federation and delegated administration.
How does IAM reduce insider threats?
IAM enforces least privilege, automates deprovisioning, and uses PAM to restrict admin access. Behavior analytics and continuous monitoring detect abnormal patterns such as unusual access requests or data downloads. These measures mitigate risks from malicious insiders or compromised employee accounts.
What deliverables do we receive in an IAM project?
Deliverables include:
- Identity strategy and target architecture
- SSO and federation setup for apps
- MFA deployment policies
- PAM vaulting and session recording
- IGA workflows for provisioning and reviews
- RBAC and ABAC role models
- Compliance reports mapped to DPDP, GDPR, HIPAA, SOX
- Improvement roadmap and operational playbooks
How long does an IAM rollout take?
Duration depends on scope. A baseline rollout (SSO and MFA for key apps) may take 6–10 weeks. Full IGA and PAM implementation with hundreds of apps can span several months. Our phased approach delivers quick wins early while building towards a comprehensive IAM program.
What is the role of IAM in Zero Trust architecture?
IAM is the foundation of Zero Trust. It authenticates every identity, enforces least privilege, continuously evaluates trust signals, and integrates with SIEM/SOAR tools for response. Without IAM, Zero Trust cannot be effectively implemented.
What are the top IAM tools and platforms?
Leading platforms include:
- Okta, Ping Identity, Microsoft Entra (Azure AD) for SSO and MFA
- SailPoint, Saviynt for IGA
- CyberArk, BeyondTrust, Delinea for PAM
- ForgeRock, Auth0 for CIAM
These platforms integrate with SIEM (Splunk, Sentinel) and SOAR for full lifecycle management.
Can IAM help with passwordless authentication?
Yes. Modern IAM platforms support passwordless login using FIDO2 keys, biometrics, and passkeys. This reduces phishing risk and improves user experience, while still providing audit-ready logs of all access events.
Why should enterprises invest in IAM now?
IAM reduces breach likelihood, lowers operational costs, streamlines audits, and enhances user experience. With the rise of cloud, hybrid work, and stricter regulations like DPDP and GDPR, IAM is no longer optional—it is a strategic enabler for digital transformation and long-term resilience.
