Six ways we reduce identity risk
Every engagement starts from the same question: who and what can reach your critical systems, and can you prove that access is justified? Most clients begin with a fixed-scope Identity Security Review, typically 5 to 7 days.
Identity Governance (IGA)
Every identity has an owner, a reason and an end date.
Typical situation
Leavers keep access, movers accumulate it, and service accounts are never reviewed. When the auditor asks for proof, it takes weeks to produce.
What you get
- Joiner, mover and leaver processes that grant and remove access automatically
- Access reviews your auditors accept as evidence
- Service accounts and API keys governed with the same rigour as people
Typical situation
Permanent admin accounts, no tiering, and admin work done from everyday laptops. One stolen credential can reach everything.
Privileged Identity (PIM)
No standing admin rights. A contained blast radius.
What you get
- A tiering model that stops attackers moving from workstations to identity systems
- Just-in-time admin access with approval and a full audit trail
- Hardened admin workstations for the roles that need them
Typical situation
Zero Trust programmes that start with the network tend to stall. Conditional Access grows into overlapping policies that nobody fully understands.
Zero Trust Architecture
A roadmap that starts with identity and survives a board review.
What you get
- A maturity baseline across identity, devices, applications and data
- A Conditional Access design that is explicit and maintainable
- A phased roadmap, highest-impact controls first, with no big-bang change
Cloud Security Assessment
What to fix first, mapped to NIS2, DORA and ISO 27001.
Typical situation
The environment runs, so it is assumed to be secure. Default settings, drift and over-permissioned roles say otherwise.
What you get
- Findings ranked by business impact, not only technical score
- Each finding mapped to the obligation it affects
- A remediation roadmap with owners and realistic timelines
Copilot Security Readiness
Deploy Microsoft 365 Copilot without exposing data you never meant to share.
Typical situation
Copilot can reach everything a user can reach. Years of oversharing in SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams become searchable in seconds.
What you get
- A data-exposure report, before and after remediation
- Sensitivity labels and access clean-up where the risk is highest
- Governance that stops permissions drifting back
Typical situation
A major customer sends a security questionnaire you cannot answer with confidence. NIS2 and DORA make leadership accountable for cybersecurity. Without a senior security voice, decisions come too late or too technical.
Fractional CISO (vCISO)
Senior security leadership at the table, without a full-time hire.
What you get
-
A security strategy and board reporting leadership can act on
-
NIS2, DORA and ISO 27001 roadmaps built on working controls
-
Credible answers to customer security questionnaires and supplier audits
