With the already enforceable European-wide Second Payment Services Directive (PSD2) and Open Banking regulations in the UK and the soon to be enforceable General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) the need for organisations to manage digital identity for individuals (both internal and external), trusted parties, and trusted objects is pushing the traditional enterprise Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems to their limits.

No matter which industry the client is in, one of the biggest challenges facing them is extending their IAM systems to deal with Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM). Customers and internal users have one fundamental difference, customers have a choice. In most cases, customers can choose a different supplier, if they have concerns about security, or the process for security is too overbearing. The traditional friction between security and customer experience is heightened with each click through in a security process.

Whether dealing with IAM or CIAM the core goal of identity management is still to grant the users the access required to the assets they need from wherever they need to access them. All while maintaining a process model that will onboard, authorise, monitor and offboard identities.

Quorum have nearly 20 years experience of Enterprise IAM environments and are pioneers of Cloud based technologies. We have a fundamental understanding of both the processes required, best practices and technological solutions for IAM.

Our teams have experience of designing greenfield solutions as well as extending existing client capabilities. From the initial business analysis of use cases, through the discovery and analysis of your current system capabilities, to the design and implementation of environments and process, the training of administrators and the monitoring and support of the end to end solution we have a team that will work hand in hand with the client to deliver the solution.

Quorum is very much a cloud first solution provider and the Quorum team includes expertise in both Microsoft Azure Active Directory IAM and Amazon Web Services (AWS) IAM solutions. With our experience working with large financial organisations, we understand the challenges of extending existing IAM systems into the cloud whilst maintaining the same level of security expected internally.

Quorum has experience in PSD2 and Open Banking implementations, within our Financial Services clients, deploying technologies such as the PingIdentity suite of technologies providing integrated CIAM solutions. During which we have helped design robust, reliable, secure and scalable platforms with Single Sign-On (SSO), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Risk Based Authentication, Access Security and Data Governance capabilities. All backed up with an identity store design that allows both existing and new identities to be leveraged.
