Identity in the Cloud Series: Part 5 – Identity Governance

Managing access might seem simple at first - until your organization starts growing. Suddenly, users have access to files, apps, and groups they no longer need. Contractors come and go, employees change roles, and old accounts remain active far too long. Without the right framework, identity management becomes reactive instead of secure.

Microsoft Entra Identity Governance gives you the tools to take control of that sprawl. It helps ensure that the right people have the right access - and only for as long as they need it.

At iKan, we help organizations combine manual oversight with smart automation to clean up access and keep it that way.

Dynamic Groups

Dynamic groups automatically update membership based on user attributes such as department, title, or location. When someone changes roles or leaves the company, their group memberships update automatically - no admin cleanup required.

Access Reviews

Access reviews give managers or resource owners a clear view of who still has access to what. We help set up recurring reviews so owners can quickly approve, deny, or adjust permissions with a few clicks - keeping access tight without overwhelming IT.

Entitlement Management

Automate access packages for specific roles or projects. For example, when a new hire joins the finance team, they can automatically get access to the shared drives, apps, and Teams channels they need. Once they leave, their access is automatically revoked.

Lifecycle Workflows

We design workflows that handle the repetitive tasks of onboarding and offboarding - creating accounts, assigning licenses, and removing access. It keeps your identity environment secure, consistent, and audit-ready.

At iKan, we specialize in building identity governance frameworks that blend structure with flexibility. Whether you want to automate group memberships, streamline reviews, or clean up existing permissions, we can configure the policies and automation for you.

Identity governance is not just about compliance - it is about keeping your organization efficient and secure.
