About the Role
Intelance is an independent technology, AI and cyber assurance firm. We advise regulated and complex organisations on enterprise architecture, cyber security, identity and access, data governance, and technology assurance.
We are expanding our associate network and are looking for a Senior Identity and Access Governance (IGA) Consultant to support two upcoming client engagements in financial and professional services. Both engagements focus on confirming who should access sensitive information across core systems, designing a clear role and access model, and supporting access certification and segregation of duties work. This is a contract role, delivered mainly remotely, with occasional client-facing workshops.
Tasks
Working under the Engagement Lead and the Cyber, Identity and Access Lead, you will:
- Review how access is currently granted across core business systems, including users, roles, groups, privileged accounts, and service accounts.
- Identify where access is broader than required and document the associated risks.
- Carry out role mining and design role-based access models, access matrices, and least privilege structures.
- Support access certification and recertification exercises so managers can make informed decisions.
- Complete segregation of duties analysis and document conflicts and mitigating controls.
- Define joiner, mover, and leaver controls, and access request, approval, and review processes.
- Support the review of how AI tools and connectors access internal information, alongside the Cyber, Identity and Access Lead.
- Prepare clear findings, role descriptions, and evidence suitable for internal stakeholders and external audit.
- Maintain the implementation backlog and support testing and evidence review as client system owners make changes.
