Identity Governance & Administration
Centralize visibility over user access to corporate resources
Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) has the power to enhance onboarding while improving security, auditability, reporting, and user identity management - all from a centralized location.
Along with being an authorized reseller and implementer of leading IGA solutions from Imprivata® and SailPoint®, our experts provide objective guidance throughout your IGA journey from planning, decision making, implementation and beyond. Our approach is to provide tailored solutions and services, not a one-size-fits-all product.

Building a successful IGA Program
Technology continues to bring more users, applications and data together. With more connections, healthcare organizations face more vulnerability. An effective IGA program reduces business risk while offering operational efficiencies.
Scalable solutions & services
IGA strategies and solutions should be scalable to ensure users remain unaffected as organizations grow due to mergers and acquisitions, the addition of new identities, accounts, applications or systems. We can help guide you on setting up an IGA program that will help you successfully manage identities as your organization changes.
Centralized governance & access controls
Centralized policy administration for role-based access controls including approval processes for granting, revoking, and auditing user access and entitlements.
Increased visibility into user access & entitlements
Mitigate compliance and security risks with visibility into who has access to what across the user population.
Operational efficiency of identity lifecycle management
Automating tasks (like onboarding new users and adjusting access as workers change roles) can lower costs and reduce burden and risk - freeing your IT team to focus on other business imperatives.
IGA is a journey
Along with improving compliance and strengthening security, an effective IGA program meets your evolving needs by:
Providing auditing and access controls to know who has access to what
Building on and strengthening your current identity management approach
Streamlining end user access to critical applications and data
Adapting to your technology strategy (cloud, on-rem, etc.)
