InSpark is Microsoft Entra ID governance product launch partner

InSpark was announced as a ‘Product Launch Partner’ for Entra Identity Governance. This partnership means that we, at InSpark, are now your ‘go to-expert’  for questions or challenges when it comes to Entra Identity Governance or Identity Governance in general. With our deep knowledge and experience in identity management we can provide you with strong advice on how to implement Identity Governance in your environment and support you to go from ‘Zero-to-Hero’ or replace existing Identity & Access Management (IAM) point solutions.

As a ‘Product launch partner’ we work very closely with the Microsoft product teams of Identity Governance. We actively participate in lots of private previews to provide feedback based on our field experience. With that we can improve the identity governance products features of Microsoft, bring in new ideas, report bugs fixes and provide you and other customers with important product features.

Why Identity Governance is important?

Identity Governance is crucial in today’s digital world and a fundamental part of the zero-trust architecture which companies (must) adopt. Unfortunately, we still see many organizations lack automated provisioning of accounts and with that no structured joiner, mover, and leaver process as part of the zero-trust architecture. This not only brings in a big security risk, but also higher costs and administrative burdens for these companies.

By implementing an Identity Governance process with the use of Microsoft Entra Identity Governance you can streamline this process and make sure the provisioning of accounts, account lifecycle management, and access lifecycle management is fully automated.

This offers organizations a trustworthy process and ensures HR is the source of truth. For organizations this is a significant boost in security as people have the right access at the right time to do their work. Besides, IT administrators are freed from routine tasks and can focus on bringing improvements and features to the business.

Our approach

We understand that implementing Identity Governance can become a complex process. However, we have developed practical solutions to simplify the process for you. Our approach involves breaking down the Identity Governance journey into different phases. By taking it step-by-step, we ensure a smooth and efficient implementation and transition by using:

• Our Identity Governance readiness assessment – In which we look at the current state of your environment.
• Our Identity Governance workshops – In which we show the possibilities of the Identity Governance features and decide together on your way forward.
• Our Identity Governance accelerators – In which we have automated several steps for an automatic code-based deployment.

With the above we deliver faster results and ease the process for you as a customer and with that touch base and accelerate your organization on one or more of the following items:

• The current state of your environment – Based on our assessment we have highlighted the ‘pain points’ within your environment which need to be solved before proceeding with your Identity Governance implementation.
• Automated provisioning of user accounts – Making HR the source of truth with the various new and existing Entra ID product features.
• Automated joiner and leaver flows – Making sure end users are automatically onboarded and offboarded in time with the right permissions by using Entra ID Lifecycle Workflows.
• Automated Mover flows – Making sure that users who change from jobtitle or department gain new permissions and or existing permissions will be removed based on Entra ID Dynamic Groups, Entra ID (dynamic) access packages or Entra ID Access Reviews.
• Single Sign-on for 3^rd party applications – Making Entra ID the identity control plane by connecting your applications to Entra ID.
• Automated provisioning in 3^rd party applications – Making Entra ID the source of truth for your 3^rd party applications by enabled SCIM provisioning or using the ECMA connector.
• Admin accounts protected by just-in-time least-privilege – Making sure the just-in-time least privilege concept is in place for your admin accounts with Privileged Identity Management for Microsoft 365 and Azure resources.
