Services — Identity Governance & Administration

Identity Governance & Administration (IGA)

Most teams can't quickly answer a simple question: who has access to what — and should they? We make that answerable, automating the identity lifecycle, access reviews, and role and separation-of-duties policy on SailPoint, Saviynt, and Microsoft Entra ID — so governance runs quietly in the background and audits stop being a scramble.

What governance looks like

Who has access to what — and who signed off

Governance comes down to one reviewable picture: every person, every entitlement, and a decision on record for each. Here a review catches a contractor still holding admin — and revokes it.

Revoked

A certification campaign: every entitlement reviewed, approved or revoked, with a record of who signed off and when.

Not a spreadsheet someone rubber-stamps — governance with a trail behind it.

Identity governance & administration

Knowing who has access — and proving it's right

IGA is the discipline of controlling access across its whole life — granted when someone joins, adjusted as they move, removed when they leave, and checked, again and again, in between. It's the difference between hoping access is appropriate and being able to show, on demand, that it is.

The work is mostly turning manual, spreadsheet-driven access into something automated and provable: lifecycle provisioning, role-based access control, separation-of-duties policy, and certification campaigns that leave a clean trail behind them.

…and certified at every step, so nothing slips through unseen.

The problem

Access has a way of drifting

When access lives in tickets, spreadsheets, and memory, it quietly slips out of step with reality.

Permissions pile up, nothing comes off

Every project and promotion adds access. Almost nothing is ever taken away, so everyone slowly becomes over-privileged.

People leave, their access stays

Offboarding closes the email account and forgets the other twenty systems they could still log into.

One person can do the whole transaction

Request it, approve it, pay it. With no separation-of-duties policy, there's no second pair of eyes where it counts.

Reviews signed without being read

A spreadsheet lands in a manager's inbox, gets approved in bulk to clear it, and proves nothing to anyone.

Joiners idle, waiting on access

New hires lose a week to bounced requests — or get handed a colleague's bloated profile just to unblock them.

Every audit starts from zero

Evidence is reassembled by hand each cycle, because nothing was governed the same way twice.

IGA capabilities

The controls that keep access honest

What we design and run — automated, auditable, and shaped around the roles your people actually hold.

RBAC + SoD

Roles & separation of duties

Model access around real job roles, and codify separation-of-duties rules so conflicting permissions can never land on one person.

Lifecycle

Joiner-mover-leaver automation

Provision on day one, follow people through role changes, and revoke everything the moment they leave — no tickets, no gaps.

Certification

Access reviews & certification

Certification campaigns that route to the right approvers, track completion, and produce evidence instead of busywork.

Roadmap

Strategy & roadmap

A phased plan matched to your maturity and compliance calendar — so you're not boiling the ocean on day one.

Build

Platform build & integration

Wire governance into your HR system, directories, databases, cloud, and apps on SailPoint, Saviynt, or Entra ID.

Analytics

Risk analytics

Surface dormant accounts, anomalies, and policy violations — and extend governance to your most sensitive entitlements.

How we deliver

From audit headache to running program

Phased, so the highest-risk access gets governed first and you see value long before the full rollout lands.

1

Map

We pull together identities, entitlements, and the places governance leaks today.

2

Model

We shape roles, policies, review cadence, and the connectors you'll need.

3

Build

We stand up the platform, wire in connectors, automate the lifecycle, and run a first campaign.

4

Sustain

We keep roles current and reviews moving — handed to your team, or run by ours.

IGA platforms

Built on the platform you've already chosen

We meet your estate where it is — designing and implementing on the governance tools your teams rely on.

Enterprise

SailPoint

IdentityIQ and Identity Security Cloud — deep, enterprise-grade governance for complex, regulated environments.

Cloud-native

Saviynt

Cloud-native, quick to stand up, and a strong fit for cloud-first and hybrid estates.

Microsoft

Microsoft Entra ID

Access reviews and entitlement management native to a Microsoft-centric estate — no extra platform to buy.

SaaS-first

Okta

Lifecycle and governance for Okta-centric, SaaS-heavy organizations standardizing access.

Managed IGA services

Keep it healthy without owning the day-to-day

Governance only works if someone tends it. Hand that part to us and your program keeps running between audits.

Campaigns

Campaigns, run for you

We schedule, launch, chase, and close certification campaigns — so reviews actually finish, on time, with the trail intact.

Connectors

Connectors kept alive

We watch sync and connector health and catch provisioning failures before they turn into orphaned access.

Onboarding

New apps brought into the fold

As the estate grows, we onboard new applications and entitlements into the role model and review scope.

Evidence

Evidence on demand

Review history and audit-ready reports waiting whenever SOX, HIPAA, or PCI season comes around.

Why Applied IAM

Certified hands, not slideware

Certified — and they've shipped it

SailPoint-certified engineers and CISSP-level depth who've run real implementations, not just sat the exam.

Roles people will actually accept

We design governance around how teams really work, so adoption doesn't stall the week after launch.

From whiteboard to managed service

Strategy, build, and run under one roof — no handing off between a consultancy and a separate operator.

Built for the auditor's questions

Roles, reviews, and reporting mapped to SOX, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and GDPR from the first design session.

Outcomes, not dashboards

We measure ourselves on access removed and conflicts closed — not on how many reports we can generate.

All we do is identity

Governance is a core practice here, not a line item bolted onto a broader IT services menu.

Proof & credentials

What stands behind the work

We'd rather show the credentials and the results you should expect than parade logos we can't name.

IGA FAQ

Questions worth asking first

How is IGA different from IAM?
IAM is the whole field of managing identities and access. IGA is the governance layer inside it — deciding who should have access, automating the lifecycle, running reviews and certifications, and enforcing role and separation-of-duties policy.
And how is it different from PAM?
IGA governs access for everyone, across all your applications and entitlements. PAM tightly controls a small set of powerful, high-risk accounts. They solve different problems and work well together — we deliver both.
How quickly will we see something?
We phase it, starting with your highest-risk applications and a first certification campaign. That means visible governance — cleaner access, a completed review — early, rather than waiting on a full enterprise rollout.
SailPoint or Saviynt?
SailPoint goes deep for large, complex, regulated estates. Saviynt is cloud-native with faster time-to-value and a strong cloud-first fit. We weigh it against your estate, team, and goals — there's no house favorite.
Can you run it after launch?
Yes. Hand it to your team, or let us operate it as a managed IGA service — running campaigns, onboarding new apps, watching connectors, and keeping the program audit-ready.
What does it do for SOX and HIPAA?
It gives auditors exactly what they ask for: who has access, why, and proof it's reviewed. Automated certifications, role and SoD policy, and consistent reporting turn the audit from a scramble into a routine.
