Overview

CIAM Managed Services

A CIAM platform in production is never done. Updates, patches, configuration changes, incidents at 2am Saturday. We run identity so your team can run the business.

Platform updates, security patches, configuration drift, new application connections, incident response, performance tuning. The operational burden of keeping an enterprise identity environment healthy is continuous. Most organizations discover this after go-live, when the part-time engineer who set it up gets reassigned, leaves, or burns out. This is not vendor support. The platform vendor gives you documentation and tickets. We own the operational outcomes. SOC 2 Type 2, ITIL4-aligned, GDPR-ready.

Engagement tiers

Essential

Safety net for stable environments.

  • 24/7 cover for P1 and P2 incidents, business hours for P3 and P4
  • Incident triage, resolution, and configuration changes
  • SLA: 30-minute response, 4-hour resolution on P1; 30-minute response, 8-hour resolution on P2
  • Onboarding in 1 to 2 weeks
Outcome

For teams with some internal capability who need expert backup without delegating full ownership.

Proactive

Continuous optimization partner.

  • Named team and monthly platform reviews
  • 24/7 P1/P2, extended hours (Mon–Sat) P3/P4. Faster SLA: 15 minutes for P1 and P2
  • Root cause analysis, trend reporting, performance tuning
  • Onboarding in 2 to 4 weeks
Outcome

For growing organizations that want a partner managing CIAM proactively, not just reactively.

Integrated Command

Embedded strategic operations team.

  • Dedicated Engagement Lead plus specialist pool
  • 24/7/365 across all severities, with custom SLAs
  • ITSM integration, scalability planning, compliance monitoring, architecture governance
  • Onboarding in 4 to 6 weeks
Outcome

For large enterprises running CIAM identity as a formal, strategic function with board-level accountability.

What comes next

Most clients start on Essential and upgrade to Proactive or Integrated Command as complexity grows. Clients who mature their internal capability sometimes transition to the Center of Excellence: take back day-to-day ownership, use specialist capacity on demand.

Optional add-ons

  • Emergency SLA Upgrade

    Essential clients who need Integrated Command-level response SLA (15-minute) on P1 and P2 without upgrading the full tier.

  • Executive Reporting

    Monthly CTO-level identity health report: SLA attainment, incident summary, performance trends, forward-looking recommendations.

    Proactive and Integrated Command.

  • Compliance & Audit Pack

    Audit-ready documentation per cycle. Any tier.

Overview

CIAM Center of Excellence

A senior CIAM engineer who already knows your environment, ready to work the day you need them. Specialist capacity in committed monthly blocks. The engineer already knows your environment and works from day one.

Some enterprises have capable internal teams who own their CIAM environment. What they do not have is specialized CIAM expertise on demand: a complex integration, an architecture review, a security hardening initiative, a development spike beyond internal capacity. The Center of Excellence is that bench. Your team owns the environment. CoE is the specialist capacity you can call on without treating every need as a new procurement event.

Engagement tiers

Standard

An engineer who knows your environment, committed monthly capacity flexible across architecture, engineering, advisory, and review.

  • Named senior CIAM engineer
  • Monthly hours report with 30-day rollover
  • Async response within 4 hours
  • Flexible drawdown across architecture, engineering, advisory, review
Outcome

For ongoing CIAM engineering needs where predictable capacity matters more than project-by-project scoping.

Enterprise

Everything in Standard, plus strategic oversight.

  • Dedicated CoE Lead with strategic advisory responsibility
  • Architecture governance and design authority
  • Quarterly capability reviews and roadmap input
  • Defined P1 escalation path, additional engineer blocks on demand
Outcome

For large enterprises with continuous, high-volume engineering needs where strategic oversight and delivery capacity are both required.

What comes next

The most common pattern for large enterprises is pairing Managed Services with CoE: Managed Services handles day-to-day operational burden, CoE provides the engineering bench for new initiatives, reviews, and spikes.

Optional add-ons

  • Additional FTE Blocks

    Enterprise clients needing surge capacity above committed monthly level.
