IAM (Identity and Access Management)

The framework that controls who gets access to what — and under which conditions.

What is IAM?

IAM (Identity and Access Management) is the practice of managing digital identities and controlling which users, systems, and services can access specific resources. It covers the entire identity lifecycle — from provisioning and changes to deprovisioning.

IAM includes authentication, authorization, role-based access control (RBAC), access requests, and periodic access reviews. The goal is to ensure users only have the access they need, when they need it.

Metaphorically, IAM can be compared to a building’s reception desk and badge system: it determines who is allowed in, which rooms they can enter, and when access is revoked.

Sicra and IAM

Sicra helps organizations establish and improve IAM solutions that reduce risk, simplify identity management, and support regulatory requirements.

Through services such as Identity and Access Management (IAM), Zero Trust Architecture, and Security consulting, Sicra supports the design, implementation, and operation of modern IAM solutions, often integrated with cloud platforms such as Azure.
