Identity Governance & Administration (IGA) complements Identity & Access Management (IAM) by adding a layer of control and accountability. While IAM enables access from a technical standpoint, IGA ensures that this access is granted to the right people, for the right reasons, and only for the necessary period of time. At its core, IGA establishes the organizational framework for responsible access management.
It defines how permissions are granted, reviewed, and revoked—in a transparent, rule-based, and auditable manner.
This transforms simple access control into a governance process that effectively combines security, compliance, and efficiency over the long term.
Without centralized identity governance, companies quickly lose track of their access permissions. Old accounts remain active, duplicate roles arise, and responsibilities become unclear. This not only leads to security vulnerabilities but also to costly audit findings and compliance risks.
A robust IGA system provides a solution: It comprehensively documents every assignment, modification, and revocation of permissions and enables audits at the click of a button. Through intuitive dashboards and reports, security and compliance teams can view the current permission status at any time.
This makes audits easier to plan, simplifies documentation, and clearly defines responsibilities. In addition, IGA reduces operational complexity. Automated workflows replace manual approvals, interfaces with HR and IT systems ensure data consistency, and self-service features boost efficiency.
The result: a streamlined authorization model that balances security, compliance, and productivity.
Complete transparency regarding all user accounts and permissions
Significantly fewer audit findings thanks to automated recertifications
Reduced risks through the identification of SoD conflicts and clearly defined policies that prevent conflicts from arising in the first place
Significant relief for IT and business units through clearly defined role models

Prokisch Consulting supports you every step of the way—from analysis through to day-to-day operations—with experience, sound judgment, and a clear understanding of how IT governance works in complex organizations.
Strategy.
We start by taking stock: What permissions are currently in place? Which roles are outdated? Where are clear lines of responsibility lacking? What is the structure of your ITSM processes? We create transparency regarding your current permissions landscape and use this to develop a governance model that combines security and efficiency. In doing so, we take into account compliance requirements, separation of duties, and automation approaches, as well as the specific needs of your organization.
Implementation.
Based on this vision, we implement an IGA architecture that integrates seamlessly into your existing IT infrastructure, from IAM and PAM to HR systems. Role models, approval processes, and recertification cycles are designed to align perfectly with your day-to-day business operations. The result is a governance system that manages permissions in a traceable manner, makes risks visible, and automatically generates evidence.
Operations.
An effective IGA system remains stable only if it is continuously maintained and adapted to changes. Structures, role models, and responsibilities evolve alongside the company and must be reviewed regularly to remain effective. During day-to-day operations, we help you keep your governance processes up-to-date and robust. We handle monitoring, reporting, and the ongoing optimization of your policies and recertifications.
We ensure close integration between IT operations and IT development to efficiently incorporate your governance requirements into your existing processes.
Prokisch Consulting helps you integrate technical solutions, clear processes, and a culture of accountability into a cohesive whole.
