Do you work with both on-premises and cloud identity?

Yes. We design and implement identity across on-premises Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), and hybrid setups. We help you unify authentication and access control whether your workloads are on-premises, in the cloud or both.

How do you approach privileged access and MFA?

We help implement privileged access management (PAM) so elevated access is controlled, time-bound and auditable. We also design and roll out multi-factor authentication (MFA) so sign-in is stronger and accounts are better protected against compromise.

Identity & Access Management (IAM)

Overview

ITHQ provides identity and access management (IAM) so your organisation controls who can access what. We cover Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), identity and access governance, single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA), privileged access management (PAM), and role-based access control (RBAC) so access is secure, auditable and aligned with how you work.

Whether you need a one-off design, migration to cloud identity, or ongoing IAM operations and governance, we work to your scale and risk posture. Our services are grouped by theme below. Check our services or get in touch to discuss your needs.

What is identity and access management (IAM)?

Identity and access management is how you identify users and control their access to systems, applications and data. It includes directory and identity platforms (e.g. Active Directory, Entra ID), governance and access reviews, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, and privileged or role-based access so the right people have the right access and elevated access is controlled and auditable.

Directory & identity platform

Strong IAM starts with a clear identity foundation. We design and run directory and identity platforms so users and applications have a single, consistent source of identity, whether you are on-premises, in the cloud or hybrid.

Active Directory Architecture & Administration

We design and operate Active Directory so your on-premises identity and group policy are structured for security, scalability and support. This includes forest and domain design, OU structure, replication, and day-to-day administration so authentication, authorisation and policy stay under control and aligned with your organisation.

Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) Implementation

We implement and operate Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) for cloud and hybrid identity: tenant design, user and group lifecycle, app registration, and integration with your applications and infrastructure. We help you move to cloud identity, federate with on-premises Active Directory where needed, and keep conditional access and security defaults aligned with your risk posture.

Governance & access control

Governance and access control ensure the right people have the right access, and that elevated access is controlled and auditable. We help you put in place identity and access governance, role-based access, and privileged access management so access is consistent, reviewable and secure.

Identity & Access Governance

We help you govern identity and access through lifecycle processes, access reviews, and certification so who has access to what is defined, reviewed and documented. This includes joiners, movers and leavers, periodic access reviews, and evidence for compliance and audit so access stays aligned with policy and least privilege.

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

We design and implement role-based access control so permissions are granted by role rather than ad hoc. We help define roles, map them to systems and applications, and implement RBAC in your directory and key platforms so access is predictable, easier to review and easier to change as the organisation evolves.

Privileged Access Management (PAM)

We help you secure and control privileged access through PAM practices and tools. This includes just-in-time and just-enough access, approval workflows, session isolation and recording where appropriate, and audit trails so elevated access is time-bound, justified and traceable. The goal is to reduce the risk of credential theft and misuse while keeping operations workable.

Authentication & sign-in

Authentication is the gateway to your systems. We help you strengthen sign-in with single sign-on and multi-factor authentication so users get a better experience and accounts are better protected against compromise.

Single Sign-On (SSO) Integration

We design and implement single sign-on so users sign in once and access the applications they need without re-entering credentials. We integrate applications with your identity provider (e.g. Entra ID, Active Directory Federation Services) using standard protocols such as SAML and OpenID Connect, and help you maintain SSO as you add or change applications.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

We help you deploy and operate multi-factor authentication so sign-in requires something you know and something you have or are. We work with your identity platform to enable MFA with conditional policies (e.g. by risk, location or role), support a range of methods (authenticator apps, SMS, hardware tokens where needed), and balance security with usability so adoption is sustainable.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about our IAM services.

What is identity and access management (IAM)?: IAM covers how you identify users, control their access to systems and data, and govern who can do what. It includes directory services (e.g. Active Directory, Entra ID), single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, and role-based or privileged access controls so the right people have the right access.
