Audit readiness service — evidence binder review and control mapping
What we do

Four capabilities. One audit-ready outcome.

LIFECYCLE

Joiner-Mover-Leaver automation

Provisioning and de-provisioning workflows wired into HRIS, ITSM, and downstream applications. Day-zero access and same-day terminations, every time.

CERTIFICATION

Risk-based access certifications

Certification campaigns scoped by risk, role, or regulation. Reviewer fatigue is engineered out — only the access that matters lands in front of a human.

SoD

Segregation-of-duties policy engine

A live policy library mapped to SOX, HIPAA, and FFIEC controls. Conflicts surface at request time, not after the audit fails.

ROLES

Role engineering and rationalization

Mining, modeling, and pruning enterprise roles to reduce request volume by 40–60% while preserving entitlement coverage and audit alignment.

FAQ

Common questions.

  • How long until our first audit-ready IGA cycle?+

    A typical 5,000-employee enterprise: 12-week build for the foundation (lifecycle + first certification campaign), then a 90-day operating cadence stabilizes by month 6. Audit-ready evidence by month 4 for in-scope applications.

  • Do you have a vendor preference between SailPoint, Saviynt, and Entra?+

    No. SailPoint suits highly regulated enterprises with broad on-prem and SaaS estates. Saviynt fits cloud-first organizations with strong analytics needs. Microsoft Entra ID Governance is the right choice for Microsoft-first shops at lower regulatory tiers. Selection depends on your existing platform and compliance posture.

  • Can you fix an existing failing IGA implementation?+

    Frequently — it is one of the most common engagements we run. We start with a 2-week diagnostic to identify the failure mode (under-scoped requirements, vendor mismatch, or operational debt) and propose remediation that recovers value without a full re-platform.

  • How do you handle role explosion in legacy environments?+

    We mine usage data and pair it with reviewer interviews to identify the 10–20 functional roles that truly matter, then collapse the long tail into entitlement bundles attached at request time. Typical reduction: 1,200 roles → 80 roles + 200 bundles, with the same access coverage.
