• Tooling Expertise: Working with and documenting IAM processes within common platforms like Azure AD, AWS IAM, GCP IAM, and supporting the integration of identity systems through protocols like SAML or SCIM.
• Gap Analysis: Performing gap analyses to pinpoint missing or weak access controls and recommending solutions to address them.
