IAM Capability Model

Identity and Access Management is not only one simple IS process. It is an end-2-end capability that is spread through your whole IS organization and has a strong link to, is even relying on HR and other business functions.

Therefor it is needed to define a model that fits to your needs. The picture above gives a small idea, how such a model could look like. It can also be used to define your technical architecture by mapping the different tools onto the capabilities and/or show the responsibilities within your organization.

Such a model is a good basis for a strong IAM Foundation – maybe you already have something similar – there is no right or wrong.
