IAM consulting in the United States — workforce, customer, and privileged identity

Market context

The US is the largest IAM market globally and the headquarters of most Tier-1 IAM vendors. Regulatory drivers vary by industry: SOX for public companies, HIPAA for healthcare, GLBA + FFIEC for financial services, FedRAMP for federal contractors. The IAM consulting market is mature but capacity is constrained — most enterprises run multi-year backlog of IAM programs.

• FedRAMP

  Federal cloud authorization; NIST 800-53 baseline.

• GLBA + FFIEC

  California consumer privacy with growing patchwork of US state laws.
