Identity Access and Management
Bringing Action to Strategy for a Mature Identity Program
What is an Identity and Access Management (IAM) Program?
An Identity and Access Management (IAM) Program is a program that ensures only authorized users have access to certain resources. It is a set of policies, processes, and technologies that enable organizations to manage and protect their users’ digital identities. This includes granting access to systems, applications, and data based on an individual’s identity and role within the organization. IAM programs also provide tools and capabilities to help organizations comply with regulatory requirements, such as GDPR and HIPAA.
Identity and access management (IAM) refers to the people, processes and technology used to create, manage, authenticate, control and remove the permissions a user (internal, external or customer) has when working with an organization’s technology resources. IAM helps manage user interactions and decrease the chances of a cyber incident launched through abused credentials. Common components of an IAM program include single sign on (SSO), access management and user authentication.
As digital transformation, compliance and work-from-home requirements grow, your security perimeter becomes more fluid and dynamic. That makes identity and access management (IAM) more crucial than ever. Our identity services can help you reach maturity – no matter where your program stands today.

Achieving Identity Program Maturity
Struggling to implement an identity program? You’re not alone. Many organizations have trouble with:
Discussions too focused on which tool to buy and not on identifying and solving challenges
Loose team involvement and siloes hindering collaboration
Too much focus on “checking the boxes” for compliance
One-off projects leading to technology duplication
Leadership asking, “when are we done?” – IAM is an ongoing process, not a project with a concrete end
IAM hindering business; processes are too manual and slow
How Can You Build an Identity and Access Management Framework?
Optiv-Recommended Approach and Industry Trends
1
Develop your enterprise objectives with senior executives and board of directors
2
Define your critical business processes and classify systems and supporting assets
3
Take stock of what you have and identify people, process and technology gaps
4
Prioritize and execute your program’s strategy
5
Continually measure performance, adapt and improve
Building an identity and access management framework requires careful planning and execution. The following steps provide an overview of what is required to develop a successful framework:
1. Identify users and their associated roles: It is important to understand who will be accessing the system and what roles they will need to fulfil. This requires a thorough evaluation of user requirements and current access control methods.
2. Establish best practices: To ensure the highest level of security and reliability, it is important to establish best practices for identity and access management. This includes authentication methods, authorization processes, user access policies, and other security protocols.
3. Implement required technology: An identity and access management framework requires the implementation of certain technologies, such as single sign-on, two-factor authentication, and identity and access management software.
4. Develop policies and procedures: Policies and procedures are essential for any effective identity and access management framework. They should include user access policies, user provisioning and de-provisioning processes, auditing and logging processes, and incident response procedures.
5. Monitor and audit: Regular monitoring and auditing of the identity and access management framework is essential for ensuring its effectiveness and security. This should include both automated and manual reviews of user access and activity.
6. Update as needed: As technologies and user needs evolve, it is important to regularly update the identity and access management framework to ensure its continued effectiveness. This includes implementing new technologies, revising policies and procedures, and testing the system regularly.
Why AVIH Does Identity Better
AVIH does identity better than other identity systems because it provides a comprehensive solution to identify, track, and monitor visitors to any organization. AVIH is a cloud-based system that uses facial recognition technology to identify visitors and allows organizations to manage visitor traffic and access privileges.
AVIH's facial recognition allows it to identify visitors quickly and accurately. It can capture images of visitors entering a location and compare them with images of known visitors stored in its database. AVIH also stores detailed information about each visitor, such as their name, contact information, and photo, making it easier to track and monitor visitors.
AVIH also allows organizations to set up customizable access privileges for visitors. Organizations can set up specific access levels for visitors based on their identity, such as allowing them to access certain areas or restricting them from certain areas. This allows organizations to keep their premises secure while also allowing visitors to access the areas they need.
Finally, AVIH also offers advanced security features to protect organizations from unauthorized access. It provides secure authentication protocols and two-factor authentication to ensure that only authorized visitors have access. It also monitors and records visitor activities, providing organizations with an audit trail of the visitors' activities.
Overall, AVIH does identity better than other systems because it provides a comprehensive solution to identify, track, and monitor visitors. It uses facial recognition technology to identify visitors quickly and accurately, and it allows organizations to set up customizable access privileges for visitors. Additionally, it offers advanced security features to protect organizations from unauthorized access.

Identity Governance at Your Service
A mass infusion of nonhuman users into the digital space is adding an unprecedented number of identities for businesses to manage. Not only that, but resources once confined by network perimeters have flown the coop for cloud-based environments, making it even harder to see where users go — and which applications, systems and data they’re accessing.
When digital identities fly under the radar, it opens your enterprise up to vulnerabilities that can really ruin your day. Let our identity governance management services simplify it for you. We provide a complete platform for securing all digital identities, so you can rest easy and focus on other priorities.
