As the digital landscape constantly evolves, new technologies drive business forward but create cyber threats. Organizations face numerous challenges in managing access to sensitive data across various locations and devices. In this environment, a strong identity and access management (IAM) posture can protect operations, assets, profits, and reputation.

      Modern managed services are moving from transactional to transformational. KPMG firms focus on innovation and automation with the aim of increasing efficiency and value for your organization.

      Are you maximizing your IAM technologies?

      Why use internal resources for routine IAM administration? KPMG performs your critical business processes — including access reviews, policy management, and application onboarding — so your team can focus on higher-value work.

      • Identity governance and administration (IGA)

        Let KPMG run the daily administration of your identity lifecycle, from user onboarding and role modifications, to executing complex regulatory access reviews.

      • Access management

        We operate your front-line access systems, managing authentication rules, troubleshooting connectivity issues, and securely onboarding new business applications.

      • Privileged access management (PAM)

        Protect your most sensitive credentials by letting KPMG administer secure vaults, monitor privileged sessions, and configure policies for your critical infrastructure.

      Look to KPMG for the technical health and stability of your IAM ecosystem. Our team manages the backend operations, executing seamless integrations, applying crucial patches, and keeping your systems online.

      How we manage technical operations:

      • Application monitoring

        Track your system performance in real time — catching and addressing reliability issues before they impact users.

      • Incident management

        Resolve technical disruptions expediently to help keep your environment stable.

      • Release management

        Administer your system updates and bug fixes on schedule to help keep your security posture strong.

      • Patch management

        Apply interim technical patches to immediately close gaps and resolve critical security issues.

      • Technical enhancements

        Drive the continuous improvement of your IAM solution by managing ongoing administration, configuration, testing, and deployment.

      KPMG oversees the strategic direction and daily execution of your managed IAM program. We handle the complex oversight — from managing staff to tracking SLAs — to align the service consistently with your business goals.

      • Program and scope management

        KPMG specialists coordinate all daily IAM service activities and strictly manage program scope to prevent drift, for predictable and on-time delivery.
