Services · Identity
Identity controls that hold when the algorithms change.
Tighten the identity foundation the cryptography runs on: who and what can access systems, how privilege is granted, and how it is removed.
The problem
Why this exists.
Cryptographic migration changes how systems authenticate to each other. If machine identities are undocumented, over-privileged, and tied to long-lived secrets, every migration step becomes a coordination problem across teams that do not share an inventory.
What changes
- A complete non-human identity inventory
- Privilege reduced to what each workload needs
- Federation and authentication patterns documented
- Automated joiner, mover, and leaver for machines too
Delivery
How the engagement runs.
A sequence you can plan around, with a decision or a working artifact at the end of every phase.
- 01
Discover
Inventory human and non-human identities and their entitlements.
- 02
Rationalize
Remove standing privilege and consolidate authentication paths.
- 03
Automate
Wire lifecycle and governance into the systems of record.
- 04
Assure
Continuous access review and evidence for audit.
Deliverables
What you keep.
- Non-human identity inventory and ownership map
- Least-privilege assessment and remediation plan
- Federation and authentication architecture
- Privileged access review
- Zero Trust alignment assessment
- Identity governance integration
Fit
Who this is for.
- Organizations with undocumented service accounts
- Teams adopting Zero Trust
- M&A integration programs
- Enterprises preparing for an identity audit
Typical duration
6–12 weeks
Scope and elapsed time depend on access, estate size, and change control. We confirm both in writing before work starts.
