Identity & Access Management Whitepaper

As organizations grow and adopt more digital tools, managing who has access to what—and ensuring it’s always appropriate—becomes increasingly complex. Identity and access management (IAM) is critical to securing systems and data, especially in environments with remote users, cloud platforms, and third-party integrations. Without strong IAM policies and controls, organizations risk unauthorized access, data breaches, and compliance violations.

But what is identity and access management? How does it work?

IAM refers to the processes and technologies used to ensure the right individuals access the right resources at the right times for the right reasons. It includes user provisioning, authentication, role-based access control (RBAC), multi-factor authentication (MFA), and ongoing access reviews. When implemented properly, IAM strengthens your security posture and simplifies compliance with regulations like HIPAA, PCI, and HITRUST.
