Identity & Access Management

Identity governance and access control for regulated enterprises.

Solluna Caelum helps organisations design, implement, and operate IAM that stands up under audit — from access lifecycle and approvals to privileged access and governance that actually runs in production.

What we deliver

End-to-end IDAM capability — from strategy through implementation to ongoing governance.

Identity Governance & Administration

IGA

Lifecycle control and access accountability at enterprise scale. We design and implement governance frameworks that survive auditor scrutiny while remaining operationally practical.

  • Joiner-mover-leaver lifecycle automation
  • Role engineering and entitlement modelling
  • Access request and approval workflows
  • Entitlement catalogues and ownership mapping
  • Integration with HR, ITSM, and downstream systems
Outcome
Auditable access decisions with clear ownership and defensible evidence.

Privileged Access Management

PAM

Reducing risk where the blast radius is highest. We help organisations discover, vault, and govern privileged access with controls that work in production, not just in policy documents.

  • Privileged account discovery and onboarding
  • Credential vaulting and rotation
  • Just-in-time access with session recording
  • Service account lifecycle and ownership
  • Break-glass and emergency access procedures
Outcome
Reduced standing permissions with full audit trail.

Authentication & Federation

SSO / MFA

Secure access that doesn't break the user experience. We design and implement SSO and MFA solutions that balance security with usability across cloud and legacy systems.

  • Single sign-on architecture and implementation
  • Adaptive and conditional MFA rollout
  • B2B federation with partners and suppliers
  • B2C/CIAM for customer-facing applications
  • Legacy and thick-client integration patterns
Outcome
Phishing-resistant authentication across your ecosystem.

Access Controls & Certification

Continuous Assurance

Controls are where governance becomes operational. We design and implement the recurring processes that keep access aligned to policy and actually run in production.

  • User access reviews and recertification campaigns
  • Application and entitlement attestation
  • Identity and account reconciliation
  • Segregation of duties (SoD) policy and enforcement
  • Authorisation model attestation and validation
Outcome
Continuous compliance with evidence that satisfies audit.

IAM Strategy & Operating Model

Advisory

Before tools come decisions. We help organisations assess their IAM maturity, define a realistic target state, and build the business case to get there — vendor-neutral and pragmatic.

  • IAM maturity and capability assessments
  • Target operating model design
  • Vendor evaluation and RFP support
  • Roadmap and business case development
  • Governance structure and RACI definition
Outcome
A clear, funded path forward with stakeholder alignment.

Zero Trust & Access Architecture

Modern Access

Identity as the control plane for modern access. We help organisations design access models where identity, device, and context drive every access decision.

  • Conditional access policy design
  • Device trust and posture integration
  • Micro-segmentation alignment
  • API and workload identity controls
  • Cloud entitlement and CIEM integration
Outcome
Context-aware access decisions that adapt to risk in real time.

    The recurring identity failures behind most breaches and audit findings.

    Joiner–Mover–Leaver breakdown

    8 min read

    Delayed removals, orphaned access, and weak ownership lead to persistent access drift.

    Service account sprawl

    6 min read

    Non-human identities often outnumber humans and lack lifecycle controls and certification.

    Approval workflows that add risk

    5 min read

    Approvals become rubber stamps without role clarity, guardrails, and exception governance.

    Over-privileged access

    5 min read

    Excess permissions accumulate over time without routine review and role discipline.

    MFA fatigue / bypass patterns

    6 min read

    Attackers exploit weak conditional policies, legacy protocols, and poor session controls.

    Audit evidence gaps

    5 min read

    Controls exist, but cannot be evidenced reliably due to weak reporting and ownership.
