RBAC/ABAC Implementation

Defensible access policy, deployed in six weeks.

A six-week engagement that designs and deploys role-based or attribute-based access control for one named application or one user population, with role catalog and certification workflow.

6 weeks

The problem

When your reviewers cannot tell whether access is correct

A CISO inherited a SOX audit finding: access certification reviewers cannot tell whether access is correct because there is no role definition. Every review is a guess. The certification campaign closes on schedule, but no one believes the result.

A defensible role structure or attribute policy is needed before the next quarterly review, and the timeline does not allow for a full enterprise role redesign. We tackle one application or one user population, end to end, in six weeks.

What is included

What we build

Role or attribute design

Entitlement mining, role candidate generation, attribute schema for ABAC, business review and signoff.

Policy deployment

Role catalog or attribute policy configured in the IGA platform, assignment rules, exception handling.

Certification workflow

Reviewer assignment, scope definition, remediation routing, evidence capture for audit.

Documentation and handover

Assignment criteria reference, role catalog documentation, operator runbook, training session.

Deliverables

What you receive

  1. Documented role catalog or attribute schema for the in-scope application or population
  2. Deployed access policy in your IGA platform
  3. Tuned certification workflow with reviewer assignments
  4. Assignment criteria documentation suitable for audit
  5. Operator runbook and training session
  6. 30-day post-engagement support
Timeline

Six weeks, design to certification

Weeks 1-2

Mining and design

Entitlement discovery, role candidate generation or attribute schema design, business stakeholder workshops.

Weeks 3-4

Build and validate

Policy configuration in the IGA platform, assignment rule tuning, validation against test populations.

Weeks 5-6

Certification and handover

Certification workflow tuning, operator training, runbook handover, 30-day support window opens.

Engagement sizing

Two tiers, sized to complexity

Tier 1One mid-complexity application, under 1,000 users, 6 weeks
Tier 2High-complexity application or 1,000 to 5,000 users, 6 weeks

Investment is confirmed on your scoping call after we review the in-scope application or population.

Fit

Who this is for

Directors of IAM, VPs of Security, and CISOs at organizations of 500 to 5,000 employees in regulated industries facing a SOX or equivalent audit finding tied to access certification quality.

Out of scope

What this is not

This is not RBAC across the entire application portfolio. Scope is one named application or one user population per engagement. It is also not a full platform redesign. We work inside your existing IGA platform; if the platform itself is the limiter, that is a different engagement.
