Identity and access management that gives the right people the right access, removes it when roles change and keeps a record.

## What it is
Identity and access management controls who can sign in to which systems and what they can do there. It covers accounts, groups, roles, single sign-on and the process of adding and removing people.

Most breaches involve stolen or over-broad credentials. Tidy identity management limits damage: each person has only the access they need, leavers lose it promptly and sensitive actions are traceable.

## What is included
- **Access review**: Who has access to what today, and what should change.
- **Role design**: Roles and groups that match real jobs.
- **Single sign-on**: One secure login across your applications.
- **Joiner, mover, leaver process**: Consistent granting and removal of access.
- **Privileged access controls**: Extra protection for administrator accounts.
- **Audit reporting**: Records of access and changes.

## Outcomes
- **Less risk from stolen passwords**: Access is limited and monitored.
- **Faster onboarding and offboarding**: Accounts follow a clear process.
- **Easier audits**: Evidence of who had access is available.

## Good fit if
- Former staff still have access somewhere.
- People share logins.
- You use many tools with separate passwords.

## FAQ
**What is single sign-on?**
It lets people use one secure login for many applications, which reduces password reuse and simplifies access control.

**Does this work with Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace?**
Yes. These platforms are commonly used as the identity source for other applications.

**Will staff find it harder to log in?**
Usually easier, with fewer passwords. Extra checks apply only where risk is higher.
