building-identity-governance-lifecycle-process

separate

Design identity governance and lifecycle (IGA) programs on platforms like SailPoint, Saviynt, or Entra ID Governance, covering joiner-mover-leaver (JML) automation, role mining, access requests, periodic recertification, and orphaned-account remediation sourced from an HR feed. Use when automating cross-system JML provisioning, remediating former-employee access, or building lifecycle processes for SOX, HIPAA, or GDPR compliance.

When to use

• Organization lacks automated joiner-mover-leaver (JML) processes for identity management
• Access provisioning is manual and takes days, creating productivity loss and security gaps
• Former employees retain access to systems after termination (orphaned accounts)
• Role explosion has created thousands of roles with unclear ownership and overlapping entitlements
• Compliance requirements mandate documented identity lifecycle processes (SOX, HIPAA, GDPR)
• No centralized visibility into who has access to what across the enterprise

When not to use

• single-application user management
