Simplifying Identity Governance & Administration (IGA) with a Phased Approach

Reimagining IGA: Moving Beyond Legacy Complexities

For years, Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) has been dominated by legacy vendors whose rigid frameworks, intricate terminologies, and overly complex processes have been accepted as industry standards. However, these traditional standards often introduce unnecessary challenges rather than effectively addressing access governance concerns.

At SecurEnds, we take a different approach. Our focus is not on redefining IGA for differentiation’s sake, but on simplifying it to make it truly accessible, efficient, and easy to implement. We eliminate the need for organizations to compare outdated product feature lists and instead concentrate on solving real-world identity and access governance challenges. By leveraging AI-driven automation and streamlined workflows, SecurEnds ensures organizations can achieve security, compliance, and operational efficiency without unnecessary complexity.

Our Phased Approach to IGA Simplification

1️⃣ Assess the Current & Future State

The foundation of an effective IGA strategy begins with a comprehensive assessment of existing identity and access structures.

• Identify and catalog identities, applications, entitlements, and attributes
• Establish a centralized Identity & Access Store for unified visibility
• Leverage AI-driven identity and access correlation to detect inconsistencies and redundancies

2️⃣ Access Reviews for Streamlining & Clean-Up

To maintain a clean and secure access environment, organizations must continuously review and refine access rights.

• Conduct access review campaigns for Applications, Entitlements, Service Accounts, and Privileged Access
• Identify and remove unnecessary or excessive permissions
• Utilize AI-driven usage insights and recommendations to optimize access governance

3️⃣ Building Access Models Using Access Templates

Access control should be structured and standardized to prevent over-provisioning and access creep.

• Define standardized access compositions using templates
• Implement AI-driven Access Template Management & Outlier Detection
• Ensure real-time template refresh with AI-based recommendations

4️⃣ Access Requests for Business Efficiency

To enhance user productivity, access management should be self-service-driven and policy-compliant.

• Enable a self-service portal for requesting applications, entitlements, and access templates
• Use AI-driven approval recommendations for faster decision-making
• Implement scoped access options for self, others, and peer-based access requests

5️⃣ Automating Access Control & Assignments

Manual access provisioning is inefficient and error-prone; automation ensures accuracy and security.

• Adopt policy-driven access assignments based on business rules
• Implement continuous policy checks & automatic refreshes
• Utilize a fulfillment engine for real-time access provisioning and deprovisioning

6️⃣ Ensuring Security & Compliance with Access Validation

To maintain compliance and security, access control policies should be continuously enforced and monitored.

• Implement Separation of Duties (SoD) policies with continuous violation detection
• Automate remediation workflows for quick resolution of access violations
• Generate real-time compliance reports for audit readiness and regulatory adherence

7️⃣ Leveraging Intelligent Analytics for Deeper Insights

IGA success depends on data-driven decision-making and proactive access management.

• Utilize AI-driven mindmaps to visualize identities, applications, and access templates
• Leverage proactive access pattern learning to detect anomalies
• Use intelligent data analytics for continuous IGA optimization

Beyond Just Feature Comparison — A New IGA Standard

Traditional IGA solutions often measure their effectiveness based on legacy feature sets, leading organizations to compare checklists instead of actual business value. At SecurEnds, we break this outdated approach by focusing on what truly matters:

• Reducing unnecessary complexities through automation and AI
• Providing real-time insights for better governance and security
• Delivering a seamless, user-friendly experience that integrates with existing IT ecosystems
