Services
Seven modules. One governed identity fabric.
Each module below can run on its own or as part of a combined program. Together, they cover every identity in your organization — staff, customers, vendors and machines — across on-prem, hybrid and cloud.
How It Fits Together
Every module feeds one unified identity fabric
MODULE / IGA
Identity Governance & Administration
Automate access reviews, role and entitlement management, joiner-mover-leaver workflows, and audit reporting.
Purpose
- Centralize identity lifecycle (HR-to-IT provisioning/deprovisioning) so access is granted and revoked consistently from a single authoritative source.
- Implement RBAC/ABAC for least-privilege at scale to reduce excessive entitlements and enforce separation of duties.
- Automate periodic access recertification and exception handling to provide continuous compliance evidence.
Tools we work with
- SailPoint IdentityNow/IdentityIQ
- Oracle Identity Governance (OIG)
- Microsoft Entra (Identity Governance capabilities)
Compliance mapping
- CBN IT Governance: enforce access recertification & separation of duties.
- NDPA: minimize PII exposure via least-privilege & governance.
- PCI DSS, ISO 27001: evidence of access control reviews.
How long does an IGA rollout take?
Pilots often complete in 6–8 weeks.
MODULE / PAM
Privileged Access Management
Vault, rotate, broker and record privileged sessions for admins, DBAs, and service accounts.
Purpose
- Eliminate hardcoded/admin passwords and shared credentials by vaulting and automating credential rotation.
- Enforce just-in-time elevation and session monitoring to ensure privileged actions are approved and recorded.
- Protect critical banking infrastructure with session isolation and detailed forensic logs.
Tools we work with
- CyberArk
- BeyondTrust
- Microsoft Entra PIM (for Azure/Entra privileged accounts)
Compliance mapping
- CBN Cybersecurity Framework: insider threat controls & logging.
- SWIFT CSP: strong controls for operator workstations & sessions.
- ISO 27001 A.8/A.9: privileged access restriction & monitoring.
Agent or agentless?
We can start agentless with session brokering and add lightweight agents where deeper control is required.
MODULE / NHI
Machine & Third-Party Identity
Extend governance to vendors, contractors, service accounts, API keys and workloads — not just employees.
Purpose
- Onboard and offboard vendor and contractor access on a defined schedule instead of indefinite standing access.
- Inventory and rotate service account and API key credentials that traditionally sit outside IGA/PAM scope.
- Apply least-privilege and expiry policies to workload and application identities across cloud and on-prem systems.
Tools we work with
- CyberArk Secrets Hub
- HashiCorp Vault
- Microsoft Entra Workload ID
Compliance mapping
- CBN Cybersecurity Framework: third-party and vendor access controls.
- ISO 27001 A.5.19–A.5.23: supplier relationship security.
Does this cover cloud workload identities too?
Yes — we extend the same governance model to workload and application identities in cloud environments.
MODULE / SSO ZERO TRUST
Access Management — SSO & MFA
Federated SSO, adaptive MFA, and centralized access policies for employees, partners, and customers.
Purpose
- Unify login across internet banking, admin consoles, and APIs to improve user experience and reduce password-related risk.
- Apply step-up MFA based on risk (device, geo, behavior) to protect sensitive transactions and administrative access.
- Accelerate fintech/onboarding with standards-based federation (SAML/OAuth/OIDC) to securely onboard partners.
Tools we work with
- Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD)
- Okta / Auth0
- Ping Identity
Do you support passwordless?
Yes.
MODULE / CIAM
Customer Identity & Access Management
Secure onboarding, login and fraud-aware authentication for the customers who use your digital banking channels.
Purpose
- Link digital onboarding to KYC/BVN verification so new customers are identity-proofed before their first login.
- Apply adaptive, risk-based authentication to internet and mobile banking without adding friction to low-risk transactions.
- Detect account-takeover patterns and step up verification only when device or behavior signals warrant it.
Tools we work with
- Microsoft Entra External ID
- Okta Customer Identity Cloud
- Ping / ForgeRock CIAM
Compliance mapping
- CBN consumer protection & KYC circulars: identity-proofed onboarding.
- NDPA: lawful basis and data minimization for customer data collected at onboarding.
Does CIAM replace our core banking KYC checks?
No — we integrate with your existing KYC/BVN provider rather than replace it.
MODULE / GRC
Compliance Reporting & Audit Dashboards
Unified evidence packs and dashboards mapped to CBN, NDPA, PCI DSS, ISO 27001 and internal policies.
Purpose
- Automate collection of access logs, approvals, and exceptions to shorten audit response time.
- Map controls to regulations and internal policy owners so each control has a clear owner and SLA.
- Deliver regulator-ready reports with drill-down evidence to support CBN and third-party audits.
Tools we work with
- Splunk Enterprise Security
- Microsoft Sentinel
Can dashboards map to our policy IDs?
Yes.
MODULE / MSP-SOC
24/7 Managed Services & SOC for IDAM
Operate, monitor, and continuously improve the IDAM stack with SLAs tailored to Nigerian banks, government institutions and enterprises.
Purpose
- Provide run, incident, and change management for IGA/PAM/SSO tools to keep services available and secure.
- Detect identity threats with UEBA and correlate in SIEM for rapid triage and containment.
- Deliver quarterly tuning, cost & posture reviews and roadmaps aligned with business needs.
Tools we work with
- Runbooks & SRE tooling
- SIEM + UEBA
- Ticketing/ITSM (ServiceNow/Jira)
- Microsoft Entra (for identity telemetry)
Where is the SOC based?
Local Nigerian coverage with follow-the-sun support for 24/7 availability.
