Identity & Access Management

One identity per user across every app, with the right access for their role - and clean offboarding when they leave.

In plain English

The right people should have the right access at the right time

Identity access management covers user accounts, admin rights, guests and the joiners-movers-leavers process. When it drifts, ex-staff still have access, admins have far too much, and no one is sure who owns what.

Why this matters to your business
  • Reduces account misuse and insider risk
  • Keeps privileged access rare and controlled
  • Underpins good governance and audit readiness
What good looks like
  • Access is reviewed on a regular cycle
  • Leavers are removed within days, not months
  • Admin rights are limited and time-bound where possible

What it is

Understanding identity & access

Identity is the new perimeter. We design and run Microsoft Entra (formerly Azure AD) so users get the right access on day one, role-based controls are enforced, joiners/movers/leavers are clean, and privileged accounts get the extra protection they warrant.

Frameworks we align to
  • Cyber Essentials & Cyber Essentials Plus
  • ISO 27001:2022 Annex A controls
  • NCSC 10 Steps to Cyber Security
  • CIS Critical Security Controls v8
