ON THE BENCH
INSIDE THE PRACTICE
Engineers who have shipped Okta and Entra migrations at enterprise scale
Every IAM hire on the bench has led at least one production SSO or federation cutover — not just completed a certification. That is the difference between a resume keyword and someone you can hand a live tenant migration.
PRACTICE CAPABILITIES
What our IAM engineers deliver
Every capability below is staffed by engineers who have executed it in a production enterprise estate.
Adaptive authentication and MFA
Risk-based policy design, phishing-resistant factor rollout, passwordless adoption and step-up authentication for sensitive transactions.
Provisioning and lifecycle
SCIM connector build, HR-driven joiner-mover-leaver automation, birthright access modelling and deprovisioning assurance.
Tenant and platform migration
Coexistence design, phased user and application cutover, rollback planning and zero-downtime migration execution.
Customer identity (CIAM)
Registration and login journey design, progressive profiling, consent capture, bot mitigation and high-volume scale engineering.
API and workload identity
OAuth 2.0 scope design, token lifetime governance, service account rationalisation and machine identity management.
SUB-SERVICE CATALOGUE
IAM sub-services
Select any sub-service to open a pre-filled enquiry. Your requirement is emailed to our practice desk for same-day response.
Okta implementation and migration
Universal directory design, policy and workflow build, app onboarding waves and Okta-to-Okta or legacy-to-Okta migration.
Microsoft Entra ID engineering
Hybrid identity, conditional access architecture, PIM configuration, identity protection and B2B/B2C design.
Ping Identity delivery
PingFederate, PingAccess and PingOne implementation, upgrade and integration engineering.
ForgeRock platform work
Access management, identity management, directory services and authentication tree development.
Legacy IAM modernisation
Migration off Oracle, IBM, CA SiteMinder and RSA estates with coexistence and rollback planning.
Multi-IdP rationalisation
Consolidating overlapping identity providers after acquisitions into a single authoritative authentication layer.
Application onboarding factory
Repeatable SSO integration at volume with templates, testing harness and business communication packs.
Passwordless and MFA rollout
Factor strategy, pilot design, helpdesk enablement and staged enterprise-wide enforcement.
Authentication policy redesign
Risk-tiered policy model, session management and conditional rules mapped to data sensitivity.
Directory consolidation
Active Directory and LDAP rationalisation, synchronisation architecture and authoritative source definition.
Access request experience
Self-service catalogue design, approval routing and integration with ITSM platforms.
IAM health check and remediation
Configuration drift review, policy hygiene, orphan integration cleanup and upgrade readiness.
Embedded IAM architect
A senior architect inside your programme for design authority and vendor challenge.
IAM build squad
Three to eight engineers delivering onboarding and integration backlog against sprint targets.
Managed IAM operations
Offshore pod handling BAU changes, access requests, incidents and platform upgrades.
IAM programme rescue
Independent assessment and re-baselining for stalled or over-budget identity programmes.
Audit support
Evidence preparation, control walkthrough support and remediation execution during audit cycles.
IAM training for internal teams
Closed cohort upskilling on the exact platform and version you operate.
DELIVERY PATTERN
How IAM engagements typically run
A repeatable sequence refined across hundreds of deployments.
1
Discovery and current state
Application inventory, authentication patterns, directory topology and integration debt captured in one baseline.
2
Target architecture
Federation model, policy tiering, lifecycle design and platform decisions documented and peer reviewed.
3
Pilot wave
A representative application set onboarded end to end to validate patterns before scaling.
4
Factory scaling
Onboarding waves executed against a repeatable template with weekly throughput reporting.
5
Cutover and decommission
Legacy authentication paths retired with rollback windows and monitored error budgets.
6
Operational handover
Runbooks, monitoring, support model and knowledge transfer to your team or our managed pod.
COMMON QUESTIONS
IAM questions we are asked most
Yes. Our standard approach uses a coexistence period where both providers are live, with phased application cutover and a tested rollback path at every wave.
Usually yes, under named accounts with your access controls. For regulated estates we also support jump-host and VDI access from our SEZ cleanrooms.
We run it as a factory: standardised patterns, an intake queue, a testing harness and weekly throughput targets rather than ad hoc requests.
Yes. CIAM engineers are a distinct sub-bench, because the scale, fraud and consent considerations are genuinely different disciplines.
