Episode notes
Use A Purposeful CIAM Maturity Model
- Build a CIAM maturity model that maps governance, authentication, authorization, lifecycle, PAM, data management, and privacy.
- Use the model to assess current and target states and guide prioritized work.
CIAM Varies By Customer Type And Scale
- CIAM is highly organization-specific because customer types and onboarding flows vary dramatically.
- A single-site CIAM project differs massively from one linking dozens of sites or apps.
Inventory Applications First
- Maintain a formal application inventory before integrating CIAM services.
- Track owners and authentication forms so you can securely onboard and integrate systems.
