Compliance-grade IAM for a bank
SailPoint IdentityIQ delivering identity governance, regulatory compliance and access management for a leading banking institution.
The brief
A leading banking institution faced strict regulatory and governance demands on access. Without enforced Segregation of Duties and reliable certification, the bank carried compliance and operational risk across its core applications.
They needed SailPoint IdentityIQ implemented and enhanced to support identity governance, regulatory compliance and access management — with SoD and certification at the centre.
- Integrate core banking applications into governance.
- Implement role-based access control.
- Run access certification campaigns.
- Enforce Segregation of Duties controls.
- Customise provisioning workflows to banking processes.
- Produce governance and compliance reporting.
Our approach
Our consultants implemented and enhanced IdentityIQ — integrating banking applications, implementing RBAC, enforcing Segregation of Duties, and running access certification campaigns with governance reporting for regulators.
Provisioning workflows were customised to the bank's processes, with Oracle Database and web services integration underpinning the estate.
What we delivered
Banking application integrations
Core banking systems connected into IIQ governance.
RBAC implementation
Access granted by role across the bank.
Access certification campaigns
Regular attestations satisfy regulatory review.
Segregation of Duties controls
Conflicting entitlements are detected and prevented.
Provisioning workflow customisation
Workflows tailored to banking processes.
Governance reporting
Compliance-grade reporting for regulators and audit.
How we built it
We integrated banking applications via JDBC, Oracle Database and web services, then implemented RBAC and Segregation of Duties so conflicting access is structurally prevented, not just reviewed after the fact.
Certification campaigns and customised provisioning workflows (with BeanShell) were delivered and enhanced over time, with governance reporting built for regulatory scrutiny.
How it works
Integrate
Banking applications are connected into IIQ.
Model
RBAC and Segregation-of-Duties policy are defined.
Provision
Customised workflows grant access by role.
Certify
Campaigns attest access for regulators.
Report
Governance reporting evidences compliance.
In banking, Segregation of Duties is the control that matters most — encoding it into IdentityIQ means conflicting entitlements are prevented structurally, not caught later. RBAC and certification then keep access both correct and provably compliant.
Governance reporting turns all of this into evidence regulators can review, which is what makes the posture defensible.
The impact
Regulatory compliance was strengthened.
Governance controls improved across core applications.
Operational risk was reduced.
Certification processes were automated.
