A SECURITY CASE STUDY

Identity and Access Management Enhancement Project

Summary

This project, led by Go Reply, aimed to improve identity and access management (IdAM) at a government organisation in the UK. Over 15 months, the initiative addressed challenges in data quality, manual workarounds, and security posture. Six key workstreams were established, focusing on standards and best practices, role-based access control, IdAM solutions, third-party access and change management.

Challenge

The existing IdAM system faced issues related to data consistency, identification methods, and user permissions. Challenges included manual processes for Joiners, Movers, and Leavers (JML), lack of unique user attributes, and difficulties in identifying employee hierarchy and employment status.

Solution

Our team at Go Reply collaborated to establish robust standards and streamlined Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and automated Joiners, Movers, and Leavers (JML) processes. Overhauling third-party access and formalising citizen access via AD, our tech stack included GCP services (Cloud Run, Cloud Pub/Sub, Cloud API Gateway) and Microsoft's access packages. The outcome: an optimised JML process, swift user account creation, heightened security standards compliance, and improved interactions with third parties.

Results & Value-added

The implementation resulted in foundational improvements, standardising workflows, and ensuring quicker and more secure user onboarding. The JML process saw notable enhancements, reducing the risk of cybersecurity threats. Third-party and citizen access designs improved interactions and positioned the client for future developments. The project not only elevated security and compliance but also laid the groundwork for continuous advancements in Identity and Access Management.
