Platform-experienced. Vendor-neutral.

StratIAM brings hands-on experience across the major identity platforms - Microsoft Entra, Okta, and SailPoint - without a vested interest in selling or implementing any of them.

That independence means advice that is aligned to your risk, your operations, and your team's ability to execute - not to a vendor relationship or a project budget.

Discuss Your Platform
Microsoft Entra

Entra ID, Conditional Access, PIM, Entra ID Governance, B2B, Azure RBAC, hybrid identity, and Microsoft 365 identity controls.

Okta

Workforce Identity, Universal Directory, Lifecycle Management, Okta Identity Governance, Okta PAM, and CIAM architecture.

SailPoint

IdentityNow / Identity Security Cloud, access certifications, role management, lifecycle workflows, SoD policy design, and implementation health checks.

When organizations engage StratIAM

Most engagements begin when IAM has become important, urgent, or too complex to manage without senior guidance.

  • Access is granted manually or inconsistently
  • User terminations and role changes create access risk
  • MFA, SSO, or Conditional Access policies need review
  • Audit findings are exposing IAM gaps
  • Privileged access is not well controlled
  • An Entra, Okta, or SailPoint deployment is underperforming
  • The IAM roadmap is unclear, stalled, or vendor-driven
  • Nobody owns IAM strategy - only tasks
  • Senior IAM guidance is needed without a full-time hire
