Building Identity Governance Lifecycle Process

When to Use

• Organization lacks automated joiner-mover-leaver (JML) processes for identity management
• Access provisioning is manual and takes days, creating productivity loss and security gaps
• Former employees retain access to systems after termination (orphaned accounts)
• Role explosion has created thousands of roles with unclear ownership and overlapping entitlements
• Compliance requirements mandate documented identity lifecycle processes (SOX, HIPAA, GDPR)
• No centralized visibility into who has access to what across the enterprise

Do not use for single-application user management; identity governance addresses cross-system lifecycle management requiring correlation of authoritative HR sources with downstream application provisioning.
