Nowadays, organizations face the challenge of managing and controlling user access for both human or 'carbon' identities (like employees, contractors, partners, etc.) and non-human or 'silicon' identities (like services, bots, etc.) across various networks, data, and applications. This needs to be done while addressing significant business challenges such as reorganizations, mergers and acquisitions, cybersecurity threats, and regulatory compliance. Therefore, Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) solutions are an essential component of any company's strategic Identity and Access Management (IAM) program. These solutions provide many critical capabilities, including:
Our IGA services and solutions empower IT security managers, auditors, and business owners to govern access and assess regulatory compliance across the organization. We ensure that users have the appropriate access throughout their lifecycle, while providing better visibility and identifying the areas of highest risk. We take a practical, multi-phased approach to IGA that prioritizes your IT security and compliance demands, and integrates systems and processes with your existing infrastructure. Our focused scope delivers business benefits and improvements quickly, helping you maintain executive support from day one.
Securing, streamlining, then automating identity lifecycle processes, from onboarding to termination, is a critical way to safeguard your organization while boosting productivity. We can help you maximize your IGA solution’s efficacy and ease of use, including a multi-platform or hybrid solution (like SailPoint and Okta) that combines access management and IGA.
Few processes introduce more security/regulatory risk and are more time-consuming and frustrating than obtaining additional system access to fulfill special assignments and/or new job duties. A well-designed, SoD-aware, business-friendly access request and approval service capably addresses both problems to enable significantly greater workforce efficiency and productivity, while reducing security and regulatory violation risks.
A strong access governance model gives organizations a predictable, centralized way to enforce regulatory controls through role-based access provisioning and periodic access certifications, and to streamline regulatory audit evidence reporting. It’s key for adhering to government regulations like GDPR, SOX, FINRA, and HIPAA, and Integral Partners brings the depth of experience and professionalism required to ensure the best access governance solution is configured for and adopted by your organization.
If you’re managing PAM independent of your access governance solution, you won’t have complete visibility of your organization’s high-risk access. This can cause dangerous access combinations or oversights that ultimately result in unnecessary security and compliance risks. For this reason, it makes sense to prioritize inclusion of privileged access in your governance model by integrating your PAM and IGA solutions.

Expert (tool agnostic) insight to help you choose the right IGA
platform for your needs
The top IGA platforms each have their own unique set of strengths and
weaknesses, which can be difficult to distinguish. However, we possess
extensive expertise with all the leading IGA platforms and can assist
you in determining and defining the specific capabilities that your
organization requires from the extensive list of capabilities
presented in the product brief.
Whether you are just starting the process of selecting a vendor or already in the midst of it, we can help you evaluate your current requirements, budget, and artifacts and provide detailed recommendations based on your business objectives. This will ensure that you get high-quality responses from vendors. Additionally, we can provide comprehensive evaluations and recommendations based on your specific requirements and objectives.
It can be challenging to make an informed decision when relying solely on information from vendors. We can offer impartial recommendations and assist in separating truth from falsehood.
Make role-based access control a reality for your
organization
Even if you already have an Identity Governance and Administration
(IGA) solution in place, implementing a comprehensive Role-Based
Access Control (RBAC) solution can solve persistent access-related
business challenges and take your IAM program to a higher level of
professionalism. By defining and governing well-structured roles,
including enterprise, business, technical, and bespoke roles, you can
eliminate access certification fatigue, simplify individual ad hoc
access requests, mitigate SoD violations, and streamline internal and
external audit reporting. Integral Partners has the experience,
expertise, and best practices to help you build an effective RBAC
operation within your IAM program, including proper and practical role
definition, role governance, and role lifecycle management.
Understanding your primary business drivers is key to setting your
IGA roadmap
Manually intensive processes and outdated or deficient tools can cause
great pain and cost to your business in the IGA space. In such cases,
internal users are often frustrated with the experience of obtaining
or changing access to the necessary systems to perform their job. This
is usually due to the process being too cumbersome, inconsistent or
time-consuming. Compliance failures are also more common when heavily
manual processes are used for provisioning and certifying access.
A roadmap that prioritizes mitigating actual audit findings can differ from one that focuses on improving IAM efficiencies and enhancing user experience. We can assist you in prioritizing your IGA improvement roadmap to address the most pressing needs of your organization.
Help remove the complexity and reduce risk from identity and
governance
Introducing AI and Machine Learning (AI/ML) to your Identity
Governance and Administration (IGA) solution can result in significant
benefits by providing intelligent automation and generating actionable
insights. Access requests, approvals, access reviews, role modeling,
and maintenance all become more efficient with the integration of a
proper AI/ML solution. This integration leads to a reduction in the
time and effort spent on governance of these processes. Moreover, it
reduces the risk to your identity and access landscape, simplifies
regulatory compliance, and improves it.
AI solutions require proper configuration and analysis of relevant
data to produce results. Integral Partners possesses the technical
expertise, experience, and established best practices to implement and
configure AI/ML solutions that truly benefit your IAM program.
Combine the benefits of SailPoint’s SaaS platform with your IIQ
implementation, or migrate fully to IdentityNow
SailPoint's IdentityNow SaaS platform offers exclusive new
capabilities such as AI and Cloud Access Management. As a result,
hybrid scenarios that combine IdentityNow with their on-premise
platform Identity IQ are becoming increasingly common. By combining
the two platforms, either on-premise or hosted in the cloud,
organizations can take advantage of these new features. One example of
a hybrid option is Password Management (end-user PW resets) through
IDN paired with IIQ. This can allow end-users to reset their passwords
through the cloud if they are locked out of accessing the network
where IIQ resides.
It is not common for companies to move from an existing IIQ to IDN solution, but there are situations where such a transition is feasible and financially beneficial. By assessing the complexity of your current IGA needs and processes compared to the capabilities and viability of a SaaS solution, we can determine the level of effort and value of a possible Hybrid solution or SaaS migration.
Non-employee management solution based on risk and complexity
All organizations face the challenge of securely managing the
lifecycle and regulating access for non-employee users. If not done
properly, there is a high risk of severe financial and brand
consequences. However, the level of sophistication required for a
solution to address this risk depends on several variables, including
the types of users (such as contractors, partners, suppliers, and
vendors), the risk level associated with each type of access required,
and the scale of the organization.
Integral Partners has extensive experience assisting businesses in assessing risk, analyzing requirements and use cases, and implementing the most suitable non-employee management solution for their needs.
