Identity Management as a Service

Manage digital identity governance with this scalable, cloud-based platform and customizable business processes.

Enterprises are expanding rapidly and constantly launching digital services. Watch this video on securing data with a single cloud-based solution to consolidate access management in one place. Learn more about innovative identity and access controls.

Most enterprises are now migrating traditional IT infrastructures to the cloud, and they are finding the need to securely manage digital identities for data center and cloud applications and systems. The rapid rise of threats across the dynamic enterprise perimeter is posing new challenges, such as:

• Integrating cloud technologies with older, on-premises systems and centrally managing governance of IT resources
• Controlling compliance costs associated with deploying flexible and scalable cloud-based digital identity governance
• Demonstrating compliance with a growing number of regulatory requirements, including new data privacy rules in the European Union

Rapidly introduce controls in the cloud

To manage digital identities and access, some organizations must run older versions of software or buy additional point solutions to address new business requirements. DXC Technology (DXC) offers a better approach to enterprise security. DXC Identity Management as a Service (IDMaaS) is a cloud-based service that manages digital identity, access and governance across a variety of enterprise-wide technologies, enabling you to seamlessly migrate from on-premises to cloud infrastructure.

IDMaaS governs and controls access of critical applications and services using automation and reporting from a structured environment. IDMaaS includes modern application connectors that enable you to add a new service with appropriate role management within days, rather than months, resulting in shorter time to market, reduced costs and increased productivity. It also allows you to concentrate on your core business without worrying about finding and retaining staff with high-demand digital identity management skills.

Simplify identity management

IDMaaS removes the complexity of managing:

• User life-cycle event changes for identity data and access rights
• Access-based risk with certification and recertification campaigns
• Enforcement of audit and compliance policies designed to correct improper business and technical processes
• Connections to multiple resources and applications
• A secure infrastructure
• Change requests and incidents

This service also simplifies the development of compliant, efficient identity and access management business processes. As a result, you gain an appropriately sized, secure architecture that minimizes, and often eliminates, the need for expensive tools and systems.

Service features

IDMaaS enables your organization to adopt a business approach to consistent security policies and compliance. Key components include:
