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 manufacturing
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.
Manufacturers depend on plant uptime and safety interlocks, with suppliers spread across several countries. Plant engineers, quality teams and IT/OT owners need changes planned around production schedules and maintenance shutdowns. 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 the work covers
We design, deliver and stay until operation is stable, with evidence your procurement and risk teams can rely on.
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.
Industrial and security standards
Where plant systems are involved we design to OT security practice such as IEC 62443 and to national controls such as the UAE Information Assurance Regulation or NCA OTCC in Saudi Arabia, and keep quality records in the form your ISO 9001 or sector auditors 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.
Signs you are ready to start
Identity work is ready to start when HR data can be trusted and the applications to connect first have owners.
- Production has agreed the shutdown or low-volume windows available for changes.
- 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.
