Identity lifecycle
Joiner, mover and leaver steps driven from HR data, so access follows a person's role.
Industry context
Identity, access and privileged access in energy and utilities
We put identity and access on one lifecycle, so access follows each person's role and every privileged action can be traced.
Identity and access work decides who can reach which systems and how that is proved. We connect HR and directory sources, automate joiner, mover and leaver steps, set up single sign-on and multi-factor authentication, and put privileged accounts under tighter control.
Energy and utility companies run long-lived assets where reliability and safety come first, and their control systems fall under OT security requirements. Field crews, control room operators and asset managers need changes scheduled within approved shutdowns and maintenance seasons, under HSE rules. Identity work in the region often connects to UAE PASS and Nafath for user sign-in, and maps controls to the UAE Information Assurance Regulation issued by TDRA and the NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls in Saudi Arabia.
We hand over with runbooks and training, and can stay on under agreed service levels.
Alongside sector regulation, we often map delivery evidence to cross-industry baselines such as the UAE Information Assurance Regulation issued by TDRA, the NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls in Saudi Arabia and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, which many risk reviewers already use.
What we deliver
Specialists in energy and utilities and platform engineers, with you from design to stable operation.
Access and authentication
Single sign-on, multi-factor authentication and conditional access applied according to risk.
Privileged access
Vaulted credentials, session recording and approval steps for administrator and service accounts.
OT security and sector rules
We design around OT security requirements such as the UAE Information Assurance Regulation and the Dubai Electronic Security Center's standards, or NCA OTCC in Saudi Arabia, with IEC 62443 for control systems, and keep the compliance evidence your regulator and HSE function review.
Access reviews
Regular reviews of who has access to what, with removals tracked to completion.
Directory clean-up
Duplicate, ownerless and dormant accounts found and resolved before automation starts.
What to have in place first
Identity work is ready to start when HR data can be trusted and the applications to connect first have owners.
- The OT owner of each control system in scope has been named.
- HR data has been checked and is reliable enough to drive joiner and leaver events.
- The privileged accounts in scope have been listed with their owners.
