Identity Governance Lifecycle Assessment

Is a process that helps organizations evaluate and improve their identity and access management (IAM) practices. It involves identifying the current state of IAM, defining the desired state and goals, analyzing the gaps and risks, and developing a roadmap and action plan to achieve the desired outcomes. The assessment covers various aspects of IAM, such as policies, processes, roles, permissions, controls, tools, and metrics.

The benefits of conducting an Identity Governance Lifecycle Assessment include:

• Enhancing security and compliance by ensuring that only authorized users have access to the right resources at the right time.
• Improving efficiency and productivity by streamlining and automating IAM processes and reducing manual errors and overheads.
• Increasing visibility and accountability by monitoring and auditing IAM activities and reporting on key performance indicators.
• Aligning IAM strategy with business objectives and best practices by adopting a holistic and proactive approach to identity governance.
• Optimizing costs and resources by eliminating redundancies and inefficiencies

The assessment, which spans 3-4 weeks, will culminate in a technical and strategic report reflecting the maturity level of the current identity governance model. In addition, a document detailing the design and structure of custom roles and permissions will be generated. This document will serve as a guide for the gradual adoption of a Zero Trust environment. The assessment is based on a comprehensive analysis of the events accumulated in the Azure Active Directory access logs, as well as the Microsoft 365 Audit Trail tool, located in the Microsoft Purview compliance portal. This assessment is primarily for the purpose of instituting a zero trust program, or enhancing and supplementing the existing program.
