IAM Assessment

IAM Assessment

Identity maturity assessment aligned to compliance frameworks.

Compliance frameworks increasingly demand strong identity controls, but most organizations cannot clearly articulate how their identity architecture maps to regulatory requirements. Our IAM assessment bridges that gap: a structured evaluation of your identity maturity against the frameworks that matter to your business.

Scope

What We Assess

Six dimensions of identity maturity, each evaluated against your compliance obligations.

Design & Operational Maturity

How identity is composed, documented, governed, and operated — from federation and identity-mesh patterns to staffing, monitoring, and incident readiness. We evaluate whether identity functions as a security control plane in both design and day-to-day operations.

Authentication & Access Control

Assessment of authentication methods, MFA adoption, conditional access policies, session management, and privileged access controls across your environment.

Identity Governance

Evaluation of access reviews, certification campaigns, role models, joiner/mover/leaver processes, and segregation of duties enforcement.

Threat & Risk Posture

Identity-specific threat assessment covering credential exposure, lateral movement risk, privilege escalation paths, and detection capability gaps.

Non-Human Identities

Assessment of service accounts, API keys, machine credentials, and workload identities. Often the most overlooked and highest-risk area in any identity program.

Identity Mesh & Decentralized Controls

How identity governs decentralized controls across the vectors where access actually happens — IdPs, SaaS estates, AI agents, and machine identities. We assess federation, identity-mesh composition, trust boundaries, and the policy consistency that holds a mesh of providers together as it scales.

Deliverables

What You Get

Every assessment concludes with actionable, ownership-ready deliverables.

1

Current State Assessment

Detailed analysis of your identity architecture, controls, and operations against your target compliance frameworks.

2

Gap Analysis & Risk Register

Prioritized findings with risk ratings, mapped to specific compliance requirements and business impact.

3

Compliance Mapping Matrix

Your identity controls mapped to each framework requirement, showing coverage, gaps, and remediation priorities.

4

Remediation Roadmap

Actionable roadmap with clear ownership, timelines, and architectural recommendations for closing identified gaps.

Approach

How We Assess

Our assessments are not checkbox exercises. We combine architectural review with stakeholder interviews, configuration analysis, and threat-informed evaluation. We look at how identity actually works in your environment, not just how it is documented.

Every finding is mapped to specific compliance requirements and rated by business risk, not just technical severity. This gives your leadership team a clear view of where identity supports compliance, where gaps exist, and what to prioritize.

We deliver recommendations that are architecturally sound and operationally realistic. No hundred-page reports that sit on a shelf. Every finding comes with ownership, priority, and a path to remediation.

Continuous

Beyond the Assessment

An assessment is a point-in-time view. Your identity environment changes every day: new integrations, role changes, policy updates, application onboarding. The posture you assessed on day one drifts from reality within weeks.

For organizations that want continuous visibility, we deploy Workforce Identity to monitor identity controls against your compliance requirements on an ongoing basis. Configuration drift, privilege accumulation, and compliance gaps are surfaced continuously, not just during periodic reviews.

For organizations that want continuous review, monitor, and revert capability, we pair the assessment with Identity Resilience. Continuous tenant backup, configuration-drift detection against a known-good baseline, point-in-time recovery, and forensic audit history turn the assessment from a snapshot into a sustained control posture.
