Customer Identity & Access Management

Enable Seamless Customer Access, Reduce Fraud, and Build Digital Trust With
a Scalable CIAM Framework.

IDENTITY-DRIVEN PROTECTION FOR CUSTOMER-FACING PLATFORMS

Traditional IAM frameworks designed for employees can’t scale to support the demands of external user populations while balancing usability, security, and compliance. SDG works with you to accelerate modern, secure customer identity solutions built to deliver high-volume, customer-centric identity programs that integrate machine-learning based fraud detection, adaptive access controls, and long-term operational resilience.

MODERNIZE YOUR IDENTITY PROGRAM

If the need to mature your existing identity program is a priority, our approach is to identify any inefficiencies, work to leverage what may be already in your stack, and orchestrate a modern and effective process end-to-end.

ESTABLISH ZERO TRUST

Enterprises across the globe are fast-pacing zero trust initiatives as compliance regulations stiffen, government mandates are enforced, and advanced cyberattacks rise at an unprecedented rate.

MANAGE YOUR THIRD-PARTY RISK WITH IAM

Managing the identities of all your third-party vendors, suppliers, contractors, temporary staff, or service accounts, and the access they require, should no longer be a manual process. Controlling the risk these business partners pose should be prioritized.

Business security
SAFEGUARD YOUR ASSETS

Visibility into who needs access, what they need access to, and why they need the access they are requesting is the only way to protect privacy, ensure compliance mandates are met, and safeguard your organization’s data. A proactive, responsive approach to IAM improves all business outcomes.
