A Guide to Maturing Identity Governance and Privileged Access

A policy-based approach to identity management.

Evolving from a basic task of managing usernames and passwords, Identity and Access Management (IAM) has become a strategic imperative for modern organizations. Maturing your identity governance and administration contributes to stronger security, improved compliance, and operational agility.

  • Evolving Obligations: Organizations face an ever-evolving collection of identity obligations from regulations, laws, and frameworks. These requirements, which include strong multi-factor authentication (MFA), least-privilege access, and effective lifecycle management, apply to both human users and non-human identities (NHIs).
  • The Maturity Model: The Identity Maturity Model (IMM) provides a clear roadmap to help organizations navigate this complexity and strengthen identity governance. The model outlines four progressive stages—Fundamental, Scaling, Advanced, and Strategic—that map identity capabilities along the maturity journey.
  • A Unified Approach: A mature organization moves beyond siloed, manual processes to a unified, policy-based approach with continuous, intelligent automation. This approach, enabled by an identity security fabric, helps to manage and secure all identities across diverse ecosystems.
