IAM Integration Services

We support you in the design, implementation, and introduction of your IAM solution, either flexibly online or directly on-site.

Implementation:

20 years of experience for a successful implementation of your Identity & Access Governance project.

In over 1,000 projects, we have continuously refined our project methodologies. Our experts follow proven approaches for implementation and deployment, whether using a traditional or agile project methodology. Whether it’s Identity Management, Identity Governance, Provisioning, or Access Management, expert teams with sophisticated project best practices are always available for various IAM disciplines and products. As a system integrator, we also offer support for project scaling.

Enterprise Identity & Access Governance

With a centralised Identity Management and an automated process, procedures can be carried out in a controlled manner. For this purpose, the processes are mapped in rules and roles and stored in the system. This way, the entire lifecycle of an employee from entry, transfer to exit is triggered and runs automatically.

Customer Identity & Access Management

In CIAM (or, in other words, B2B and B2C Identity & Access Management), technologies and concepts from enterprise IAM are adapted to partner and customer identities. The overall objective is to centrally manage external identities or to trust identities of other services (identity providers, IdP). Based on these identities (e.g. Facebook, SuisseID), access to one’s own digital business is simplified.

Single Sign-On

The use of Access Management solutions like single sign-on (SSO) facilitates the login process to IT systems. After a one-time login, SSO takes over all login processes concerning integrated applications. With password synchronisation, web SSO or enterprise SSO, this simplified and secure login process can be extended to virtually all applications of a company.

Federation

Federated Identity and Access Management offers economic advantages as well as convenience for participating organisations and companies.The joint usage of resources or identity information results in cost savings and the consolidation of processes in the long term.

Privileged Users

While users usually have to change their credentials regularly, hard-coded passwords for databases and server applications requiring protection often remain untouched for a long time and can be accessed in plain text on the system. A PAM solution ensures the control over and auditing of the administrative privileged access of employees.

Role Based Access Control

IPG offers comprehensive expertise on the topic of Role Based Access Control.This includes methods and solutions for the efficient management and control of access rights. The administration of staff access can be considerably facilitated using roles. Our solutions and services ensure our customers’ compliance in the field of Access Management.

The right manufacturer for each project

Together with our technology partners, we provide premium products and solutions to optimally meet your requirements. The introduction takes place gradually in manageable project steps which do not overwhelm the organisation or the users.

Questions and Answers on the Topic

What is IAM Integration?

IAM stands for Identity and Access Management, a framework of policies and technologies that enables secure access to technological resources for the right people within a company. IAM integration refers to incorporating this framework with other systems or software. It allows companies to enhance control and visibility over access to their systems by ensuring that only authorized users can access resources at the right time and for essential and necessary reasons. This can be achieved through various methods, including Single Sign-On (SSO), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC).

How does IAM implementation work?

The implementation of Identity and Access Management (IAM) typically begins with defining policies and roles within an organization. These roles determine which users can access specific systems and data. Next, an IAM solution is selected and configured to manage these policies and roles. This process may involve setting up Single Sign-On (SSO), multi-step authentication, and other security measures. Once configured, user accounts are created and assigned to the appropriate roles. The IAM solution continuously monitors access and adjusts permissions as needed to ensure that only authorized users have access to relevant resources. Regular reviews and updates to the IAM implementation are essential to address evolving business needs and security threats.

What are best practices in IAM?

Least Privilege Principle: Grant users only the permissions they need to perform their tasks, minimizing the risk of insider threats or external attacks.
Regular Access Reviews: Periodically review user access rights and remove any unnecessary permissions.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Implement MFA to enhance security, requiring users to provide two or more authentication factors to access resources.
Use of IAM Tools: Utilize IAM tools for centralized management of user identities and access rights.
User Training: Educate users on cybersecurity basics, emphasizing the importance of strong passwords and MFA.

How long does IAM implementation take?

The duration of an Identity and Access Management (IAM) implementation varies significantly depending on several factors, including the complexity of the existing IT infrastructure, the number of users and systems to be managed, and specific security and compliance requirements. Generally, a basic IAM implementation can take several weeks to months, while more complex implementations may take a year or longer. A phased approach is recommended to ensure a successful deployment. Regular reviews and adjustments are also crucial to maintaining the effectiveness of the IAM solution and meeting evolving business needs.
