Identity & Access Management Overhaul
Replacing years of accumulated, unmanaged access privileges with a governed identity model across a financial services workforce.
The Problem
Years of ad hoc access provisioning had left the organization with excessive standing privileges, orphaned accounts from departed employees, and no consistent process for access review — a recurring finding in internal audits.
The Approach
Mapped every system against actual business need, defined role-based access profiles, and sequenced a phased rollout that closed the highest-risk gaps first without disrupting daily operations.
The Solution
Implemented role-based access control, automated joiner-mover-leaver workflows, and periodic access recertification — turning access governance from an annual scramble into a standing operational process.
Business Impact
- Standing privileged accounts reduced by more than half
- Orphaned account risk eliminated through automated deprovisioning
- Access review became a quarterly, evidence-backed process rather than an audit-triggered fire drill
