Identity & Access Management

Okta for modern identity and access control

Understand where your sensitive data exists, how it is accessed and how to protect it across your environment.

The Challenge

Identity is now the primary control point for security

In modern environments, users access applications from anywhere, across cloud and on-premise systems.

Without a consistent identity model, organisations face:

Inconsistent access policies

Fragmented identity systems make it difficult to apply consistent access controls across users, applications, and environments.

Limited visibility of user activity

Without centralised identity visibility, organisations struggle to understand access patterns, user behaviour, and potential security risks.

Over-privileged access

Excessive permissions increase exposure by giving users more access than they need, creating unnecessary security risk.

Increased risk of unauthorised access

Weak identity controls and inconsistent governance make it harder to prevent compromised accounts and unauthorised access.
A modern identity and access management (IAM) strategy reduces complexity, strengthens security, and provides the visibility and control needed to support Zero Trust.

Where Okta fits

Okta provides a centralised identity layer that enables:

Consistent authentication across applications

Okta provides a unified identity platform that enables secure, consistent authentication across cloud, SaaS, and on-premises applications.

Policy-based access control

Okta enables organisations to enforce adaptive access policies based on user identity, context, and risk.

Integration across Cloud, Network and Data environments

Okta connects identity across the wider security ecosystem, enabling stronger visibility, governance, and Zero Trust access control.
Strategic Choice

Why we selected Okta

Our selection process focuses on platforms that don't just solve a single problem, but enhance the entire security ecosystem.

Cross-platform identity integration

Okta connects identities across diverse applications, cloud platforms, and environments, creating a consistent approach to access management.

Independence from underlying infrastructure

Okta provides a flexible identity layer that works across technology ecosystems without being tied to a single vendor or infrastructure stack.

Consistent policy enforcement at scale

Okta enables organisations to apply centralised access policies across users, applications, and devices, improving security governance.

Supporting a Zero Trust model

Okta strengthens Zero Trust strategies by continuously verifying identity and enforcing access based on user context and risk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do organisations choose Okta over other identity platforms?

Okta is often selected for its flexibility, strong integration capabilities and independence from specific infrastructure, making it well suited to complex, mixed environments.

How does Okta support a Zero Trust architecture?

Okta enables identity-based access control, allowing policies to be enforced based on user identity and context rather than network location.

Can Okta work alongside Microsoft Entra?

Yes. In some environments, Okta and Entra can be used together, depending on requirements and existing investments.

Do we need to replace our existing identity systems?

Not always. Many organisations transition in phases, integrating and consolidating identity over time.

How do we ensure we get value from Okta long term?

Ongoing optimisation, governance and health checks are critical to ensure policies remain effective and aligned to your environment.

What are the risks of poorly implemented identity platforms?

Poor implementation can lead to inconsistent access control, over-privileged users and limited visibility, increasing both risk and complexity.

How does identity connect to network, cloud and data security?

Identity acts as the control plane, enabling consistent access and policy enforcement across all other domains.
