Identity & Access Management, SSO & PAM
The right access, with clear responsibility.
Employees need timely access, former users must lose permissions and administrative accounts require close control. We structure identities and access across applications and infrastructure. Single sign-on, clear roles and controlled privileged access make everyday work easier while strengthening your security operations.
Your options
Services that move your project forward
Map identities and access
We review employees, external users, technical accounts and administrative access. Authoritative directories and responsibilities are documented.
Identify gaps and fragmented account management.
Define roles and lifecycle processes
Entry, role change and exit are linked to comprehensible authorization processes. Critical rights receive appropriate approvals and regular review.
Access can be assigned, changed and withdrawn in a more targeted manner.
Integrate single sign-on
Applications are connected to the identity service via appropriate standards. Login, logoff, sessions and emergency routes are considered together.
Fewer separate logins and more consistent access controls.
Strengthen authentication
Multi-factor procedures, device signals, and contextual rules are planned according to user groups and application types. A controlled rollout takes exceptions and recovery into account.
Additional protection with a process that users can understand.
Control privileged access
Administrative accounts, secrets and critical connections receive appropriate controls. Password rotation, access approvals and session features are selected according to requirements and the product’s capabilities.
Particularly far-reaching accesses become more traceable.
Organize operations and evidence
Logging, regular rights checks and emergency accesses are handed over with clear responsibilities. Changes and recurring tasks are given documented procedures.
The authorization model remains manageable even after the introduction.
Where to start
Identity & Access Management, SSO & PAM Use cases
Three example situations show how we can help.
Log multiple applications together
Users move between portals and business applications. We plan their connection to an appropriate identity service and test roles and session behavior.
Organizing Administrative Accounts
Access data is distributed among teams and storage systems. A structured recording and a suitable PAM entry initially focus on particularly critical systems.
Supporting a growing organization
New employees and external partners need appropriate access. Clear lifecycle processes combine rapid provision with reliable revocation of rights that are no longer needed.
From requirements to results
A clear process with agreed milestones
Map the access landscape
Directories, applications, account types and critical rights are recorded together.
Agree the model and priorities
We agree on roles, authentication, emergency access and a suitable pilot scope.
Test integrations and rules
The agreed access channels are set up and checked with typical and critical cases.
Roll out and hand over
Rollout, support, access reviews and documentation are aligned with your operational responsibilities.

What you receive
- Overview of identity services and prioritized connections.
- Coordinated role, login and authorization concept.
- Implemented pilot including agreed control and emergency procedures.

Platform experience for your project
We use these selected tools in SYNEDAT PLATFORM or its delivery processes. We adapt suitable practices to your project and align their integration with your existing systems.
Quality and the software supply chain
SonarQube · Trivy · Dependency-Track · DefectDojo · Renovate · Syft · Cosign
Code quality, vulnerabilities, dependencies and artifact provenance require different checks. Findings need to be linked to the product and delivered version, with a defined process for resolving them. Automated checks complement reviews and informed decisions.
Security and quality information that teams can act on.
Identities, secrets and policies
Keycloak · OpenBao · External Secrets · Kyverno
Sign-in, technical secrets and platform policies serve different purposes. We connect them with roles, limited permissions and documented exceptions. The selected tools form part of a common access and operating model.
Controlled access and more consistent platform policies.
Questions before you get started
What is the difference between IAM, SSO, and PAM?
IAM includes the management of identities and permissions. SSO connects logins to multiple applications. PAM focuses on particularly wide-ranging access, such as administrative accounts. The building blocks should fit together, but perform different tasks.
Which platforms do you consider?
We review existing identity services and appropriate solutions such as Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory, Keycloak, and Delinea. The specific selection is based on applications, operating model, requirements, and available functionality.
Can legacy applications be integrated?
This depends on supported authentication methods and vendor requirements. We examine direct integration, suitable intermediaries or limited interim approaches. Some applications require changes before they can support modern methods.
Does SSO also regulate authorization in every application?
Not automatically. A successful login does not replace functional access control. Roles, groups and the evaluation of identity information must be coordinated and checked with each application.
How do we prevent users from locking themselves out?
New rules are tested with a suitable pilot group. Recovery procedures, support and protected emergency access are part of the rollout. Where supported, report-only modes help assess the impact before enforcement.
Are session recording and password rotation always included?
These features depend on the product, license and target system. We establish the capabilities required before selection. Session recordings also need agreed rules for purpose, access and retention.
How are service accounts handled?
We record their purpose, owners, dependencies and required permissions. Credential renewal or rotation is planned and tested with the affected services to reduce the risk of unnoticed disruption.
Can we start with a few systems?
Yes. A pilot with clear user groups or particularly critical administrative access creates a reliable basis. The results show which standards can be transferred to other applications.
