An IBM study found that the average <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ibm.com\/downloads\/cas\/OJDVQGRY\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cost of a data breach is US$4.24 million<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The study also found that organizations with a mature zero trust architecture reduced this cost by US$1.76 million.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While IAM itself is not a complete zero trust architecture, they<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indigoconsulting.ca\/fr\/shaping-the-future-of-iam\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> intersect to improve an enterprise&#8217;s security<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and lay the foundation for ongoing enhancements. So it\u2019s well worth adopting IAM today to improve your resilience for tomorrow.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting started with IAM requires finding answers to crucial questions to help you understand how to prepare. IAM is not a one-off project but an ongoing series of processes, policies, and technologies that necessitates careful evaluation before diving in.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep reading to learn precisely which questions you need to answer as you prepare your organization for upgrading to IAM.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2><strong><span style=\"color: #003a5d;\">Data and Identity Questions: Building IAM Business Processes<\/span><\/strong><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IAM is rooted in business processes and technologies. Evaluating your data and identity ecosystem involves both, yet focuses more on building robust processes to help hone in on the best technologies to meet your needs.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The answers to each of these questions inform how you build future business processes, choose effective technologies, and avoid detrimental mistakes. So let\u2019s break them down to help you move forward:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>What is the authoritative source for identity data?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The user repository is at the core of IAM, as it manages identities and assigns them to individual users. A solution like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indigoconsulting.ca\/fr\/partners\/sailpoint\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SailPoint<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, one of our partners, builds the foundation for IAM by becoming your authoritative identity management source. Working with an IAM consulting agency can help you navigate other available options.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>How many systems hold the data you need?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Centralize data as much as possible to improve the effectiveness and security of identity management.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>What are the target systems you need to bring under the IAM umbrella?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Understand every system in your tech ecosystem that must integrate with new IAM technologies. Map out each system and its permissions.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>What data elements will be leveraged to correlate between authoritative and target systems?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> For example, your payroll software has its own permissions for which users can submit timesheets and which can approve them. Understand the data elements used to determine permissions so they can be mapped to the authoritative system.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Have you defined critical applications?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Not every application in your stack is critical, but many are. Be aware of these applications to securely map permissions to the authoritative source.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Who is in charge of generating and managing vital data?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The data you gather while planning for IAM is only a moment in time. So designate a stakeholder or team to generate and manage all essential data regularly.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Who owns your data?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Many enterprises don\u2019t house their own data in the world of third-party cloud platforms. Understand who houses and owns your essential information. Ownership is vital to both security and compliance.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>What are the compliance requirements and industry expectations?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> First, it\u2019s vital to understand the legislative and regulatory requirements facing your organization. Additionally, consider industry expectations beyond what\u2019s legally required, such as using a specific cybersecurity framework like NIST.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h2><strong><span style=\"color: #003a5d;\">Access Management Questions: Choosing the Right Technologies<\/span><\/strong><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identities shape the rights and privileges of each user. Access management technologies determine which systems and applications those identities can access and what they can do within them.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following questions help evaluate how your identity management and access management systems will interact to ensure all the right people are able to access your data and systems:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>What is your major access management pain point?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Most pain points have a solution within IAM. For example, Single Sign-On (SSO) can help alleviate the issue of memorizing passwords for half a dozen applications. Likewise, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) can improve problems with security. Know your problems, then seek solutions. Do you struggle with resetting credentials? Then self-service may be the right choice to reduce friction and help desk calls.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>What are your current strengths? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understand your current access management strengths. Areas you\u2019re currently exceeding in can help build out the rest of your systems.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>What are the capabilities of your access management systems, and what can they support?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Different security standards will allow you to use various systems and technologies. Your current access management systems capabilities will determine what you can build upon it or if you need to replace it. SAML, OAuth 2.0, and OpenID Connect are the dominant standards \u2014 ensure capabilities before moving further.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>How do you currently use identity data to streamline access management?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> First, consider your current technologies that use data to determine access. Will those methods be sufficient as you move forward, or do you need to upgrade legacy systems?<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Do you have any applications that need protection but don\u2019t support industry standards? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s typical for legacy or internally developed applications to become rooted in an enterprise&#8217;s tech stack. However, it\u2019s an issue if they don\u2019t support modern standards. It might be time to upgrade to a modern alternative as you adopt IAM.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>What do authentication and authorization look like in your organization?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Authentication verifies a user\u2019s identity, while authorization determines access levels. Have a firm understanding of how your technology currently handles both.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>How can you improve the user experience (UX) without compromising security?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Building a great UX is essential for both internal (IAM) and external identities (CIAM). Embracing IAM is an opportunity to improve the experience while also improving security, such as using SSO to cut down on login screens. Strive for a frictionless experience that handles authentication and authorization.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h2><span style=\"color: #003a5d;\"><strong>Governance, Risk, and Compliance Questions: Keeping GRC in Focus<\/strong><\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GRC is not your starting point, but it\u2019s an important goal to keep in clear focus as you build your new processes and systems. It\u2019s important to limit risk and improve compliance by always understanding which users can access which systems. Additionally, GRC-related IAM information is always a snapshot in time \u2014 it must be reviewed and updated frequently.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider each of these questions as you move forward with IAM:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>How can you give the right people access to essential applications?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Compliance requirements are often concerned with restricting access to critical systems and sensitive data. You need robust processes in place to prevent the wrong employees from having high-level access.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Who makes decisions regarding access levels?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ownership is a fundamental aspect of both GRC and IAM. Therefore, appoint a stakeholder with a strong compliance understanding to make decisions about which identities are given various access levels.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>How will you verify employees are reporting to the right person?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It\u2019s common for employees to change direct reports as they\u2019re promoted or new managers take over the department. You need a robust life cycle management process that caters to a person\u2019s current role and access levels, not levels related to their previous role or manager.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>How do you handle joiners, movers, and leavers?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> New hires, lateral promotions, and resignations are frequent \u2014 you need processes for each situation. In addition, many industries are subject to regulatory compliance requiring quarterly or annual reports on who employees report to and what applications they can access. Set the foundation, in the beginning, to streamline creating these reports.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h2><span style=\"color: #003a5d;\"><strong>Work with Indigo to Evaluate Your Current State and Future Needs<\/strong><\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting started with IAM can be daunting, but it\u2019s not an unachievable task.
