Ongoing Assurance

Identity Security That Improves Over Time — Not Just in Snapshots

A point-in-time assessment tells you where you stand today. An ongoing assurance programme tells you whether you're improving — and keeps the pressure on remediation until the risk actually reduces. These are structured, milestone-based programmes, not open-ended retainers.

Scheduled reviews    Measurable milestones    Quarterly board-ready reporting

Why a Single Assessment Isn't Enough

Identity estates are not static. Users are provisioned and deprovisioned. Permissions change. Cloud resources are spun up and down. Policies drift. What was assessed last quarter may look very different today.

  • New joiners inherit over-provisioned role templates
  • Emergency access exceptions become permanent
  • Conditional access policies are modified without review
  • Service accounts accumulate privilege over time
  • Remediation from a previous assessment stalls without accountability

Ongoing assurance programmes address this — with structured check-ins, drift detection, and accountability for remediation progress.

What "Ongoing" Means in Practice

  • Fixed schedule of assessments — not ad-hoc when you remember
  • Measurable milestones so you can see improvement, not just activity
  • Drift detection between assessments — changes flagged automatically
  • Remediation tracking — open items followed up, not just noted
  • Board-ready quarterly reporting showing trend over time
  • Named specialist contact — not a generic support inbox

Resilience

Identity Recovery & Resilience Validation

Assesses and proves your organisation's ability to withstand and recover from identity compromise — across on-premises, cloud, and SaaS environments. This is not a theoretical assessment. It establishes trusted baselines, tests actual backup and restore processes, and validates privileged access recovery paths under realistic failure conditions.

Particularly valuable for organisations with DORA or operational resilience obligations, or those who have experienced a previous identity-related incident and want to validate their recovery capability.

What You Receive

  • Identity resilience baseline across all environments
  • Backup and restore process validation
  • Emergency access path assessment
  • Privileged access recovery validation
  • Recovery time capability assessment
  • Gap remediation plan for resilience shortfalls
  • Evidence suitable for DORA and operational resilience reporting

Thought Leadership

Identity Maturity Index

A public-facing benchmarking publication showing high-level identity control trends and risk posture across sectors. Useful for organisations that want to understand how their identity security posture compares to peers — before commissioning a deeper, paid assessment.

The Identity Maturity Index is our entry-level benchmark — available without charge. It gives you a high-level picture of where identity security stands in your sector and what the control baseline looks like for organisations at different maturity levels.

Available at no charge — no sign-up required.

What the Index Covers

  • Identity control maturity levels (Levels 1–4)
  • Common control gaps by sector and organisation size
  • Benchmark data on MFA coverage, privileged account governance, and access review frequency
  • Recommended next steps by maturity level
  • Guidance on when to move from self-assessment to expert-led engagement
