The potential returns of a successful IAM implementation are well known, but many organisations who embark on IAM projects fail to deliver against expectations. Often because of the high cost of projects, the complexity of solutions and the skilled resource needed to plan and implement. Many organisations make the mistake of treating identity management as a technology deployment instead of a business change project and therefore fail to get the relevant business buy-in and support.
end to end identity management
Identity and access management (IAM) has become a vital tool in gaining regulatory compliance but increasingly solutions are implemented to ensure process efficiency, deliver cost containment, enable business solutions and provide user convenience.
The SecureWorks identity management team brings a range of expertise and experience together to offer clients a strategic identity management partner to build business cases and set strategy and who also has the relevant skills to implement and support solutions. From its wide range of IAM projects SecureWorks has built a clear methodology which it has successfully utilised in some of the largest identity management implementations in Europe.
The SecureWorks team engage with clients in three main areas; business case and strategy creation, solution deployment and ongoing operational support.
business case and strategy case creation
The SecureWorks IAM strategy engagement utilises industry experts to understand where you are, where you want to get to and why and how you are going to get there. Deliverables of this independent strategy engagement include:
- as-is assessment – an as-is assessment and inventory of existing products, processes and plans for identity management
- business requirements and case – a summary of the business goals/requirements that drive the need for an IAM solution and a clear cost/benefit analysis
- architecture – an architecture for the enterprise IAM solution
- implementation roadmap – a high-level implementation plan that breaks the components of the solution into manageable implementation phases
Utilising this service at the outset massively reduces the risk of failed implementation and ensures that the right identity management solution is put in place.
