Major Business Pain Points<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Weak identity and access management (IAM) practices result in considerable risk to the organization because it plays a role in most things in IT.<\/p>\n

Common reasons behind weak IAM practices include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • There is no central ownership of IAM. Owners of IAM actions outside of IT (e.g. provisioning an account in an HRIS) may be resistant to adopting change.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  • IAM processes are ad-hoc and reactionary. Organizations do not have a high-level understanding of how identities and access is managed at the organization.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • The organization lacks technology to better manage their defined IAM processes. IAM software remains expensive and is often implemented before the people and processes to support that technology have been identified.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Then, in collaboration with the owner(s), create processes that support the organization\u2019s goals. Lastly, consider the practicability of how technology can assist in enabling or automating defined processes.<\/p>\n
