Identity and Access Management (IAM) for Municipalities

Identum provides Identity and Access Management (IAM) SaaS custom-built for local government infrastructure. By automating the entire Joiner, Mover, and Leaver (JML) lifecycle, we help municipalities eliminate security risks like access creep, ensure continuous compliance, and liberate understaffed IT departments from manual, repetitive provisioning tasks.

We help municipalities automate the entire lifecycle.

Mastering the JML Lifecycle in Local Government

Municipal workforces are highly fragmented. You have deskless field workers, healthcare workers, administrative executives, and external contractors all requiring vastly different digital access.

Automating the Joiner, Mover, and Leaver (JML) Process

The Core Framework

  • The Joiner (Onboarding): New municipal employees gain exact, role-based access to necessary applications on day one. Accounts are provisioned automatically via integration with your primary HR database, requiring zero manual IT intervention.

  • The Mover (Crossboarding): When an employee transfers from department to department (e.g., from Social Services to Parks & Recreation), their access profiles adjust dynamically. Legacy permissions are stripped instantly, stopping security vulnerabilities before they start.

  • The Leaver (Offboarding): When an employee or temporary contractor departs, their identity is deactivated across all systems in real time. This guarantees there are no "orphaned accounts" left exposed to external threats.

Solving the Two Biggest Municipal IT Pain Points

Eliminating Access Creep Across Multi-Departmental Staff

In municipal operations, lateral job mobility is incredibly high. "Access creep" occurs when an employee accumulates permissions over time as they change roles, violating the principle of least privilege. Identum resolves this by enforcing Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). Permissions are tied tightly to the active HR role; the moment a role shifts, outdated access rights are automatically revoked.

Liberating Municipal IT from Reactive Support Tickets

Local government IT departments are historically stretched thin, frequently bogged down by password resets and manual account creation. Identum shifts IT from reactive troubleshooting to strategic governance. By automating rote provisioning workflows, we eliminate up to 80% of manual identity management tasks, allowing your technical teams to focus on critical infrastructure projects.

Automated IAM ensures strict data privacy compliance by logging every identity lifecycle event and enforcing the principle of least privilege. Because onboarding and offboarding are tied directly to HR triggers, it removes human error, ensuring unauthorised users never have access to sensitive citizens' data.

Yes. Identum allows for time-limited, automated provisioning for seasonal workers, external consultants, and temporary staff. You can set expiration dates when creating accounts, so that access is automatically revoked without the need for an IT ticket.

Identum syncs seamlessly with standard public directories and identity providers, including Microsoft Entra ID and on-premises Active Directory environments.

Identum enforces role-based access control, where permissions are closely linked to active HR roles.
