This self-assessment delivers 247 targeted questions across six critical maturity domains, Foundation Architecture, Identity Governance, Federation & Interoperability, Lifecycle Management, Risk & Compliance, and Operational Resilience, enabling you to identify critical gaps, prioritise remediation efforts, and demonstrate measurable progress in building an identity-enabled security posture.

By answering 247 precise questions, you gain a clear picture of where your programme stands today, what must change, and how to justify investment to stakeholders. You’ll reduce mean time to detect access anomalies, accelerate compliance reporting, and eliminate costly manual reviews. Most importantly, you’ll mitigate the risk of data breaches stemming from orphaned accounts, excessive privileges, and broken federation trust chains, common root causes in 68% of identity-related incidents reported over the past 18 months.
