Access Management

Manage and Protect Access to Applications, Systems, and Data at Scale.

SECURE ACCESS. EVERY USER. EVERY SYSTEM.

Organizations are expanding across cloud platforms, remote workforces, third-party ecosystems, and AI-driven automation. Every one of those connections introduces access risk. Most enterprises have tools in place—but not control. SDG builds intelligent, enforceable access programs that give you full command over who has access, why they have it, and how that access is being used—across human and machine identities.

Access management

WHAT YOU GAIN

Our methodology is rooted in zero trust, identity governance, and automation. We don’t implement tools. We build and implement strategic operations that strengthen resilience, secure assets, and deliver measurable outcomes.

A unified access model across workforce, contractors, partners, service accounts, and AI agents

Automated provisioning and deprovisioning to eliminate manual overhead and access creep

Centralized policy control and enforcement aligned to Zero Trust and regulatory mandates

Full visibility into access activity with audit-ready reporting and traceable decision histories.

Faster onboarding and access delivery, improving productivity without weakening security controls.

Reduced breach exposure through least-privilege enforcement and removal of standing access.

Predictable compliance through built-in governance, review automation, and regulatory alignment.

A scalable access model designed to support cloud growth, AI automation, and future-state operating needs.

HOW WE WORK

TRANSFORMATION

We design and deploy scalable access models—integrating authentication, session control, lifecycle workflows, policy enforcement, and intelligent automation. Every implementation is aligned to measurable outcomes, not generic playbooks.

MANAGED SERVICES

SDG’s identity operations team provides continuous oversight and optimization. We run the day-to-day access program, manage changes, monitor policy drift, and ensure ongoing alignment with evolving business requirements and regulatory pressure.

Thoughtful and Easy Guidance by Experts You Can Trust to…

PLAN A SUSTAINABLE, SCALABLE SOLUTION

We navigate and advise on the technology choices, framework considerations, and best practices to integrate legacy environments to meet your unique security, privacy, and compliance requirements long term.

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.
