What Is Identity Governance and Administration?
 Identity governance and administration (IGA) is a policy-based approach to identity management and access control. As the name implies, IGA systems merge identity governance and identity administration to provide additional functionality beyond traditional identity and access management (IAM) tools. Particularly, they offer valuable support in auditing and meeting compliance requirements.  

 

 
IGA systems can also help automate workflows for provisioning and deprovisioning users. This is especially important given the growing need for users to log on from any place and device, which makes identity and access management difficult to manage. 
 
Before we explore how IGA can support you and whether it makes sense for your organization, let’s define its components: 
 
  1. Identity governance: Processes and policies that cover the segregation of duties, role management, logging, access reviews, analytics, and reporting. 
  2. Identity administration: Account and credential administration, user and device provisioning and deprovisioning, and entitlement management. 
 
Did you purchase large IGA product and have not implemented for many years? 
 
We found out that many companies are struggling to implement IGA solutions due to 
  1. Applications onboarding complexity 
    Expensive professional services 
    Duration of the implementation 
    Budget challenges 
  2. Business process changes 
 
However, the core value of the IGA solution is to perform user access reviews to meet security compliance and identity governance. 
 
SecurEnds provides easy to use SaaS product to perform user access reviews in weeks for your Active Directory, Microsoft apps, Salesforce, SAP, Oracle, Databases, Cloud apps, and Custom apps.
