IGA – Identity Governance & Administration

The expansion of digital identities, the rise of cloud services and the complexities of regulatory compliance have eclipsed conventional identity management frameworks. Modern IGA (Identity Governance and Administration) integrates governance and access controls in a unified framework, enhancing security and compliance across the organisation.

What is IGA?

Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) is a framework that manages and secures digital identities and access rights in an organization. It automates the granting, revoking, and monitoring of access, ensuring compliance and reducing security risks. This by enforcing policy-driven access controls and providing clear visibility into who has access to what resources.

Technical benefits

Lifecycle Management

IGA ensures timely updates to access rights through automation, reducing security risks by promptly revoking access for users no longer needing it and aligning access with current roles.

Compliance & Audit Ready

IGA tools facilitate compliance with regulations by automating the generation of audit-ready reports, streamlining the audit process, and helping avoid non-compliance penalties.

Improved Operational Efficiency

IGA reduces manual IT tasks, freeing up IT staff for strategic projects and enabling users to handle certain access requests themselves, thus reducing the IT support workload.

Who is it for?

IGA is particularly valuable for IT and security teams, compliance officers, and business leaders who aim to streamline access controls, reduce risk, and ensure that regulatory requirements are met.

Identity Lifecycle Management

Managing the identity lifecycle of employees across systems and applications is complex and error-prone. IGA automates identity lifecycle management processes, ensuring timely access management and reducing security risks.

Role Creation

Manually investigating policy violations is time-consuming and prone to errors. IGA automates policy enforcement and facilitates quick identification and remediation of violations, enhancing security and compliance posture.

Integration & Connectors

Mature IGA solutions simplify integrations with pre-built connectors and integration frameworks, enhancing interoperability with your existing landscape and reducing implementation time.

Policy Violation & Enforcement

Manually investigating policy violations is time-consuming and prone to errors. IGA automates policy enforcement and facilitates quick identification and remediation of violations, enhancing security and compliance posture.

User Access Certification

Conducting access certifications manually lacks efficiency and accuracy. With IGA, organizations can automate access certification processes and assign these to the respective app owner or manager.

Risk Analysis & Analytics

Identifying and mitigating security risks requires continuous monitoring and analysis. IGA provides advanced analytics and risk scoring capabilities, enabling organizations to detect anomalies and prioritize remediation efforts effectively.
