Structuring IAM Governance And Oversight

A large Nordic bank's IAM function needed clearer ownership and better oversight of its work. NCG structured access group and role ownership, oversaw the project application portfolio, organised the function's tasks and delivered status reporting to senior management.

Client Overview

Client: Large Nordic bank
Industry: Banking
Location: Nordics

Challenges Faced By Client

Access groups and roles without clear owners make access reviews slow and audit findings likely. The IAM function also needed a better view of its own workload.

  • Access groups and roles without named owners
  • Limited oversight of applications in IAM projects
  • Tasks tracked informally
  • Senior management lacking regular status reporting
