IAM Audit & Gap Assessment

Understand the gaps before they become problems.

An independent assessment of your IAM controls, processes and architecture to identify weaknesses, clarify risk and establish a practical remediation path.

Why Assess

A stronger IAM program starts with knowing the current state.

IAM environments often grow incrementally. Systems, controls and processes may have been designed at different points in time, making it difficult to understand whether the overall program still meets current business and security requirements.

01

Identify control gaps

Understand where existing identity controls may be inconsistent, incomplete or insufficient for the organization's requirements.

02

Clarify identity risk

Connect IAM weaknesses to practical security, operational and compliance risks rather than treating findings in isolation.

03

Prioritize remediation

Create a practical sequence of improvements based on risk, business impact and implementation considerations.

Assessment Areas

Review the IAM capabilities that matter.

The assessment can be tailored to your environment while covering the major areas that influence identity security and governance.

01

Identity Lifecycle

Joiner, mover and leaver processes, provisioning, deprovisioning and account lifecycle controls.

02

Access Governance

Access reviews, certification, approval processes, ownership and policy enforcement.

03

Privileged Access

Administrative identities, privileged access controls, segregation and monitoring practices.

04

Authentication

Authentication architecture, MFA, federation, SSO and identity assurance considerations.

05

IAM Architecture

Identity platforms, integrations, dependencies, technical patterns and architectural consistency.

06

Governance & Operating Model

Roles, responsibilities, policies, ownership, process maturity and operational accountability.

07

Application Access

Application onboarding, access models, authorization and access management dependencies.

08

Evidence & Controls

Control evidence, audit readiness, documentation and the ability to demonstrate effective IAM practices.

From Findings to Action

Not just a list of gaps.

An effective assessment should help your team understand what the findings mean, why they matter and what should happen next.

We focus on actionable observations rather than producing a large volume of findings without context.

High priority

Access certification coverage

Identify areas where access reviews may not provide sufficient coverage, ownership or evidence.

Medium priority

Lifecycle consistency

Identify inconsistencies in joiner, mover and leaver processes across applications and identity systems.

Medium priority

Privileged identity governance

Review how privileged identities are identified, governed, reviewed and monitored.

Lower priority

Documentation maturity

Highlight opportunities to improve IAM documentation, ownership and operational consistency.

Our Approach

A structured assessment without unnecessary complexity.

The engagement is designed to work with your existing IAM team and available information while keeping the assessment focused.

01

Scope

Define the assessment objectives, environment, stakeholders and areas of focus.

02

Review

Review relevant architecture, policies, processes, controls and available evidence.

03

Analyze

Evaluate observations against practical IAM and security expectations.

04

Prioritize

Classify observations based on risk, impact and practical remediation considerations.

05

Recommend

Provide a practical roadmap for addressing the most meaningful gaps and strengthening the IAM program.

What You Receive

Clear findings. Practical recommendations.

The final output is designed to be useful to both security leadership and the teams responsible for implementation.

Executive Summary

A concise view of the overall IAM posture, significant observations and priority areas.

Detailed Findings

Documented observations covering the agreed assessment domains and relevant IAM controls.

Risk Prioritization

Findings organized by relative priority to help focus attention and investment.

Remediation Recommendations
