# Identity & Access Management | Novacoast > Twenty years of identity engineering. IAM strategy, implementation, integration, access governance and managed identity across every major platform. Canonical: https://novacoast.com/identity-and-access-management/ # Identity is where most breaches actually turn. We design, connect, and run identity systems across your platforms, so you know who has access and can change it when you need to. [Talk to an identity engineer](https://novacoast.com/contact-us/) 20+ years in identity engineering Hundreds of large-scale projects ## Identity expertise, where you need it. Bring us the program that needs direction, the integration that has stalled, or the operation your team no longer has time to run. IAM strategy & advisory ### Plan your identity program. We map overlapping systems, unfinished migrations, and access nobody can explain. Then we give you a practical sequence for fixing them. **IAM strategy & roadmap** Current state, target state, and what to fix first. **Access governance design** Certification, segregation of duties, and roles that fit the organization. **Privileged access review** Every powerful account, its owner, and whether it should exist. implementation & integration ### Connect your platforms and applications. Deploying the platform is the easy part. We build the integrations around it, including the older applications that speak none of the modern standards. **Directory & single sign-on** SAML, OIDC, SCIM, and the legacy application. **MFA & passwordless** Rolled out around how people actually work. **Provisioning & workflow** Joiner, mover, leaver with a complete audit trail. **Access governance** Certification campaigns people can complete. **Privileged access** Vaulting, session recording, and just-in-time access. **Platform migration** Move providers without a day of broken logins. managed identity & PAM ### Run the daily identity work. We run privileged access, the identity service desk, and the governance calendar in your environment. Your team gets experienced coverage without giving up control. **Identity service desk** Joiner, mover, and leaver work handled every day. **Managed PAM** Privileged access operated and watched around the clock. **Governance operations** Campaigns run, chased, completed, and reported. **SOC integration** Identity becomes a signal when access turns into risk. ## Access should move when people do. When someone changes jobs, routine access can update immediately. Anything unusual reaches an accountable person with the context needed to decide. - 01**Role changes** Finance analyst moves to Operations. source event - 02**Old access closes** Finance groups, applications, and standing privileges are removed. automatic - 03**New access opens** Standard Operations access is assigned from the approved role. automatic - 04**An exception appears** A request for production access falls outside the role and reaches its owner. human decision - 05**The record stays** Every removal, grant, approval, and exception is captured for review. auditable ## The machine watches every login. A person decides who gets the keys. AI does the high-volume work: spotting unusual access, running joiner and leaver changes, and writing the summary a person reads. A named engineer makes the decisions that carry consequences. detect ### Unusual access A login from two countries in one hour. An account gaining rights nobody granted. A service account acting like a person. The SOC sees it in the same case as endpoint and network signal. automate ### Lifecycle at scale Thousands of joiners and leavers a year, given access and removed by policy. The exceptions are surfaced, not buried. decide ### A person on the exception Should this role exist? Who owns this privileged account? What breaks if we revoke it now? The machine asks. A person answers. ## Your identity program stays yours. ### We run the work. Our engineers operate privileged access, lifecycle requests, certification campaigns, and integrations with your security team. ### You keep the system. Your licenses remain in your name. Your directory, data, audit trail, roles, policies, and every workflow we build remain in your tenant. The platforms we work with - - - - - - Including Microsoft Entra, CyberArk, One Identity, and BeyondTrust, plus the applications connected to them. ## What buyers ask first. Which identity platforms do you work with? Okta, Microsoft Entra, SailPoint, CyberArk, One Identity, Ping, Saviynt, Delinea, BeyondTrust and others. The platform is rarely the hard part; the forty applications that don't federate are. Can you take over an identity program mid-migration? Yes. The first step is drawing the whole picture: which systems exist, which are half-migrated, and who owns what. Most organisations have three identity systems and nobody who can draw all three. Do you run the identity service desk? Yes, inside your platform, with a record you keep. Automated where policy allows; a person on every exception. How does identity connect to the SOC? Identity is a signal, not a silo. Anomalous access, privilege creep and impossible travel are correlated with endpoint and network signal in the same case. ## Bring us the integration nobody else will touch. The application that doesn't federate. The migration that stalled. The privileged accounts nobody owns. That is usually where we start. [Request a scoping call](https://novacoast.com/contact-us/)
