What we believe

We engineer the program. We do not just advise it.

Audit evidence is a release artifact, not a quarterly project. Every engagement ends with runbooks in your repository, on-call shadow during the first audit cycle, and a written exception policy. We stay until it runs without us.

The practices

Three deeply specialized practices.

One operating model — discover, architect, build, operate — applied across all three. Hover any row to preview what we deliver.

  • 01IAM Consulting

    Audit-ready identity, governed end to end.

    IGA, PAM, zero-trust, and custom identity engineering across SailPoint, Okta, CyberArk, Ping, Auth0, and Microsoft Entra. We bring engineering rigor to identity programs and hand off operations cleanly.

Why us

Most IAM consultants advise. We engineer.

Five dimensions that separate the work we ship from the typical advisory engagement. Read across each row.

Most IAM consultants

Strategy decks · ramp-down churn

  • Delivery model

    Strategy decks. Implementation handed off to a different team or your platform engineers.

  • Audit evidence

    Evidence collected at the end of the quarter, manually, in spreadsheets — risk of gaps.

  • Stack expertise

    One platform fluency. You buy the platform first, then hire the consultant — or compromise the design.

  • Knowledge transfer

    You depend on the consultant. Runbooks are slides. Operating-model muscle memory stays with us.

  • Pricing model

    Time-and-materials with a multiplier on senior hours. Hidden ramp-on / ramp-off margins.

askmeidentity

Engineered programs · clean handoff

  • Delivery model

    Pair-programmed delivery with your team. Same engineers from discovery through handoff.

  • Audit evidence

    Audit-as-code pipeline runs in CI from day one. Evidence is a release artifact, not a project.

  • Stack expertise

    18 vendor practices, cross-platform-fluent. We pick the platform that fits the program.

  • Knowledge transfer

    Written runbooks in your repo. On-call shadow during first audit cycle. We do not stay needed.

  • Pricing model

    Fixed-phase scoping. Quoted milestones, named owners, written acceptance tests up front.
