Verified access aligned to business justification and risk level

Reduced exposure from stale, orphaned, or toxic-combination access

Audit-ready evidence that withstands regulatory pressure

HOW WE WORK

ADVISE

We assess governance maturity, entitlement structure, risk exposure, and audit readiness, then define the target-state model, role strategy, and accountability framework to keep identity decisions controlled, traceable, and aligned with business and compliance goals.

TRANSFORM

We design and operationalize identity governance programs that scale: building role and entitlement models, configuring certification workflows, tuning SOD rules, and integrating identity systems across cloud and on-prem environments.

MANAGE

Once live, SDG sustains governance discipline through ongoing certification cycles, role and entitlement maintenance, policy refinement, and audit preparation. Our governance operators, identity engineers, and compliance experts help maintain program maturity and prevent access drift.

IDENTITY GOVERNANCE STRATEGY & OPERATING MODEL

Strong identity governance starts with structure, accountability, and clarity. We evaluate your current governance maturity, pinpoint where risk accumulates, and build the policies, ownership model, and operating cadence required to keep access aligned to business need and regulatory demand. The result: governance that works at scale and doesn’t collapse under complexity.

MANAGE YOUR THIRD-PARTY RISK WITH IAM

Managing the identities of all your third-party vendors, suppliers, contractors, temporary staff, or service accounts, and the access they require, should no longer be a manual process. Controlling the risk these business partners pose should be prioritized.

Business security
SAFEGUARD YOUR ASSETS

Visibility into who needs access, what they need access to, and why they need the access they are requesting is the only way to protect privacy, ensure compliance mandates are met, and safeguard your organization’s data. A proactive, responsive approach to IAM improves all business outcomes.
