Do you remove access during the review?
No changes are made without client authorization. The review identifies excessive, stale, or unclear access and proposes a controlled change and verification plan for the owners responsible for each system.
MODULE_DETAIL // IAM & Identity Review
IAM & Identity Review
A focused assessment of your identity and access management controls, including SSO, RBAC, and privileged access workflows.

Who this is for
An IAM and identity review is for teams with frequent onboarding and offboarding, complex role hierarchies, inconsistent MFA, or uncertainty about privileged access. It is especially relevant when a customer questionnaire or audit asks who can access sensitive systems and why.
An acquisition, new identity provider, cloud migration, or incident can expose gaps between directory groups, application roles, and actual business ownership. The review creates a practical view of those relationships.
What the engagement covers
The work maps identity sources, authentication paths, SSO applications, role assignments, privileged accounts, service identities, and lifecycle events. The aim is to compare intended access with what exists, not simply confirm that an identity tool is installed.
Joiner, mover, and leaver workflows are examined for triggers, approvals, timing, exceptions, and evidence. MFA, recovery, break-glass access, shared accounts, and dormant privileges are considered where they affect the agreed scope.
An access matrix makes ownership visible and separates technical cleanup from policy decisions. Recommendations favor controls that a team can operate: role design, approval cadence, logging, access review, and a test that proves deprovisioning works.
The engagement does not make unapproved access changes or decide employment policy. Client owners approve role definitions and changes; Vyer.Net supplies analysis, prioritization, and implementation guidance.
Execution parameters
The focused review is scheduled for two weeks and uses interviews, configuration and export review, sampling, and a readout. The scope depends on identity providers, applications, privileged accounts, and evidence access.
What you receive
Outputs show where access is broad, stale, unexplained, or difficult to prove, with an owner and verification path for meaningful fixes.
- ->Access control matrix review. This is an actionable artifact for the responsible owner, with enough context to support implementation, review, or follow-up.
- ->Privileged account audit. This is an actionable artifact for the responsible owner, with enough context to support implementation, review, or follow-up.
- ->MFA and SSO implementation review. This is an actionable artifact for the responsible owner, with enough context to support implementation, review, or follow-up.
- ->Least privilege enforcement plan. This is an actionable artifact for the responsible owner, with enough context to support implementation, review, or follow-up.
How this connects to your other work
Identity is a foundation for several other security decisions:
- ->a compliance readiness sprint when access evidence must support a customer or framework review.
- ->a security architecture assessment when identity boundaries are part of a larger cloud design.
- ->secure SDLC guidance for service identities and deployment permissions.
- ->executive-ready risk reporting to make access risk legible to leadership.
Common questions
Does this review include SSO and MFA?
Yes, SSO applications, MFA coverage, recovery paths, and exceptions can be included when they fall within the agreed identity boundary. The review also considers whether configuration matches actual role and lifecycle needs.
What is an access control matrix?
It is a practical map of roles, systems, permissions, and owners. It helps a team see what access should exist, who approves it, how it is reviewed, and where current assignments do not match the intended model.
Can this support an audit?
It can organize access evidence and identify control gaps for an audit or customer review. It does not issue an attestation; the organization and its assessor determine whether controls meet the applicable requirement.
