Identity & Access
Management
Control who can access your systems, data and applications. Identity is one of the most important parts of cyber security - if access isn't managed properly, attackers use compromised accounts, excessive permissions or weak authentication to reach sensitive systems. RTCS reviews IAM across users, administrators, cloud platforms, SaaS and privileged accounts.
- Entra ID and Microsoft 365 access review
- Active Directory access and privilege review
- Privileged Access Management (PIM / PAM) review
- Multi-factor authentication and Conditional Access review
- Single sign-on, RBAC and role design review
- Joiner, mover and leaver process review
- Guest, external and contractor access review
- Service account, SaaS and OAuth permission review
- Access certification, recertification and governance roadmap
Identity is the new perimeter.
Identity and Access Management is the process of managing who has access to systems, applications and data - user accounts, privileged access, MFA, SSO, role-based access, joiner/mover/leaver processes, access reviews and identity governance. A strong IAM program ensures the right people have the right access at the right time.
Most cyber incidents involve identity in some way.
Attackers target passwords, session tokens, admin accounts, service accounts, OAuth permissions and weak access controls because identity provides a direct path into business systems.
Users having more access than they need
Admin accounts not properly protected
MFA not enforced consistently
Shared or unmanaged accounts
Poor joiner, mover and leaver processes
Stale accounts remaining active
Guest users not being reviewed
SaaS apps connected without approval
Service accounts with excessive permissions
Access reviews not being performed
Conditional Access policies incomplete or inconsistent
Entra ID and Microsoft 365 access review.
Entra ID and Microsoft 365 are central to access control for most organisations. RTCS reviews configuration, access controls and administrative settings to identify weaknesses that increase the risk of account compromise or unauthorised access.
Pair with Cloud Security for configuration and exposure review of the same M365 / Azure tenant.
Years of accumulated access. Time to clean it up.
Active Directory often contains legacy groups, excessive privileges and weak account controls. RTCS reviews AD to identify risky permissions, privilege escalation paths and stale or over-permissioned objects.
For offensive validation of AD attack paths (Kerberoasting, delegation abuse, BloodHound mapping), pair with Penetration Testing.
Privileged accounts need stronger controls.
RTCS reviews how privileged access is assigned, approved, monitored and removed - so the accounts that can damage the most are also the most controlled.
Privileged Account Review
Admin account inventory, privileged role assignments, PIM / PAM configuration, break-glass account review and administrative separation.
Approval & Monitoring
Access approval workflows, privileged session monitoring, least-privilege recommendations and periodic privileged access reviews.
Access should change when the person does.
RTCS reviews JML processes to identify gaps that leave users with unnecessary or active access after they've moved roles or left the organisation.
SaaS access often happens outside central IT.
RTCS reviews SaaS and third-party access to identify unmanaged applications, excessive permissions and weak access controls that bypass your central identity program.
For deeper third-party security and contractual risk, see Supply Chain Risk.

Common Questions
What is IAM?
IAM stands for Identity and Access Management. It is the process of managing who can access systems, applications and data.
Why is IAM important?
IAM helps reduce the risk of account compromise, excessive access, unauthorised access and privilege misuse.
Do you review Entra ID?
Yes. RTCS can review Entra ID controls, including MFA, Conditional Access, privileged roles, PIM, guest users, enterprise applications and app consent.
Do you review Active Directory?
Yes. RTCS can review Active Directory users, groups, privileged access, service accounts, Group Policy and risky permissions.
Can you help with privileged access?
Yes. RTCS can review privileged accounts, admin roles, PIM or PAM controls, break glass accounts and access approval processes.
Can you review joiner, mover and leaver processes?
Yes. RTCS can review how access is requested, approved, changed and removed across the employee and contractor lifecycle.
Can you help with access reviews?
Yes. RTCS can help design or improve access review processes for users, privileged accounts, SaaS applications, guest users and critical systems.
Available across Australia.
RTCS provides identity and access management review for Australian organisations using Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Active Directory and cloud platforms. See cyber security services across Australia for national delivery context.
