Automating access certification at enterprise scale
A capital markets exchange needed quarterly access certification across its PAM environment — but the dataset was too large for even the PAM portal to export. IamLogic IGA turned that into an automated, role-scoped campaign.
Automated aggregation of complete datasets
Structured, in-platform campaigns
Role-scoped reviewer access
The challenge
A dataset too large to even export
The client was required to perform quarterly access certification across its PAM environment, but the sheer volume of data made this impractical. The dataset was so large that even the PAM portal could not export it reliably, forcing the team into an entirely manual process.
The manual process
- Teams manually downloaded access data and emailed it to the relevant managers
- Managers marked up the data by hand and emailed it back
- The team manually reconciled responses and repeated this cycle every quarter
This approach was slow, error-prone, difficult to audit, and did not scale to the volume of privileged accounts and entitlements involved.
The solution
IGA with AD as the single source of truth
IAMLogic implemented its Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) platform to automate the entire certification lifecycle. Active Directory was integrated as the single source of truth (SSOT), and the PAM platform was onboarded as one of the managed applications, enabling automated data aggregation across the environment.
Key capabilities delivered
- Automated aggregation that pulls all user and entitlement data — including datasets too large to export from the source portal
- Active Directory established as the single source of truth, with the PAM platform integrated as a governed application
- Scheduled quarterly certification campaigns replacing manual email-based review cycles
- Role-based scoping so reviews are organized by manager, administrator, and support-team scope, with each reviewer seeing only what is relevant to them
- Downloadable reports for each certification screen, providing a clear audit trail for compliance
Before & after
What changed
| Before | After |
|---|---|
| Data too large to export from source portal | Automated aggregation pulls complete datasets |
| Manual download → email → markup → email back | Structured, in-platform certification campaigns |
| No reviewer scoping | Role-based scope per manager / admin / support |
| Difficult, manual audit preparation | Per-screen downloadable reports for auditing |
Business impact
From spreadsheets-and-email to repeatable governance
The client moved from a labor-intensive, spreadsheet-and-email certification process to a repeatable, auditable governance workflow — dramatically reducing effort each quarter while improving the quality and defensibility of access reviews.
