Improve the security, governance, and maturity of your identity platforms.
Microsoft Entra ID is central to identity security for many organizations, but it is often underconfigured, inconsistently governed, or expanded without a clear identity architecture.
StratIAM helps organizations assess and improve Entra ID, Conditional Access, MFA, PIM, external access, Azure roles, Okta, SailPoint, and related identity controls.
When identity platforms outgrow their operating model
Identity platforms often start with urgent projects: SSO, MFA, cloud access, user provisioning, or compliance. Over time, policies multiply, exceptions accumulate, admin roles expand, and business ownership becomes unclear.
StratIAM helps bring architecture, governance, and roadmap clarity back to identity platforms so teams can reduce access risk and make better use of existing tools.
Common platform challenges
Organizations often call StratIAM when identity controls exist, but the design, governance, or operating model needs senior review.
- Conditional Access policies have grown inconsistent or hard to manage
- MFA is enabled but not governed consistently across users, apps, and risk levels
- Privileged Identity Management is underused or poorly configured
- Admin roles, Azure roles, or delegated permissions are overassigned
- External users and B2B access are not well governed
- Okta groups, policies, and lifecycle workflows have become difficult to maintain
- SailPoint certifications or access requests are not producing the expected value
- Microsoft licensing includes IAM capabilities the organization is not using
What StratIAM reviews
The review focuses on practical controls, platform design, business ownership, and operational maturity.
Microsoft Entra ID
Tenant architecture, administrative model, Conditional Access, MFA, Identity Protection, PIM, Entra ID Governance, B2B, lifecycle workflows, and Azure RBAC.
Okta
Org architecture, Universal Directory, authentication policies, app coverage, Lifecycle Management, Workflows, OIG, admin roles, Okta PAM, and CIAM considerations.
SailPoint
Identity Security Cloud architecture, source onboarding, role model, access requests, certification campaigns, lifecycle rules, SoD policies, and implementation health.
Authentication Controls
MFA coverage, risk-based access, legacy authentication exposure, session controls, device controls, and exception management.
Governance
Access reviews, entitlement management, application access, guest access, business ownership, approval workflows, and audit evidence.
Privileged Access
Administrative roles, just-in-time access, break-glass accounts, standing access, service accounts, PAM alignment, and separation of duties.
Vendor-neutral identity platform guidance
StratIAM helps organizations make better use of Microsoft Entra, Okta, SailPoint, and adjacent IAM capabilities without turning every finding into a product purchase or implementation program.
The result is a platform roadmap tied to real access risk, operational capacity, compliance needs, and business ownership.

Identity Platform Advisory FAQs
Common questions from teams evaluating a platform review.
Is this only for Microsoft Entra?
No. Microsoft Entra is a common starting point, but StratIAM also advises on Okta, SailPoint, PAM tools, SaaS access, lifecycle processes, and the broader IAM operating model.
Can this help if we already implemented a platform?
Yes. Many engagements focus on improving existing deployments, cleaning up policy sprawl, increasing adoption, strengthening governance, and creating a practical roadmap.
Do you replace our implementation partner?
Usually no. StratIAM often serves as an independent advisor, architecture reviewer, or oversight partner to help leadership make better decisions before, during, or after implementation work.
Can this support licensing or roadmap decisions?
Yes. StratIAM can help identify capabilities you already own, gaps that need investment, and roadmap priorities that should come before tool expansion.
