Field Guide

Stage 1

Just starting

You are running identity off memory and goodwill. Offboarding is a checklist someone half-finishes, access requests live in Slack, and reviews are a spreadsheet you dread. This is the path out, before something falls through the cracks.

This is you if

  • No dedicated identity tool yet
  • Offboarding is a manual checklist
  • Access requests come through Slack or email
  • You have never run a full orphaned-account audit

Who this is for: First IT hire, or a generalist who inherited IT.

The path

  1. 1Your company runs 130 SaaS apps. IT governs 26.Field noteName the gap. Most of your stack lives outside the tools you think govern it.
  2. 2What is identity governance (IGA)?DefinitionThe category, in plain terms, and how it differs from the SSO you already have.
  3. 3IAM and IGA: where the line isPlaybookWhy your SSO is not the same as governance, and where one stops and the other starts.
  4. 4From spreadsheet to systemPlaybookThe step-by-step from checklists and Slack to a system that runs itself.
  5. 5Birthright access, on day onePlaybookFix onboarding so new hires get the right access automatically, not on day three.
  6. 6The end of hope-based offboardingPlaybookThe single highest-risk process. Make it complete and provable.
  7. 7Someone quit last monthField noteA concrete map of what stays open after a departure, so you know what to close.

When you're done

Inventory your ungoverned stack and run one clean, complete offboarding.
