Identity Governance and Microsoft Entra Services
Grant access properly, review it regularly, and remove it the day someone leaves. Maintech designs and deploys identity governance on Microsoft Entra or your existing platform, so access stays right across every system and audits stop being a scramble.
Delivered by the engineers who secure Maintech clients’ Microsoft environments.
Where Identity Gets Out of Control
Access builds up quietly. New starters wait for accounts, movers keep yesterday’s permissions, and leavers stay active in apps nobody remembered. Every gap is a security risk and an audit finding.
“New hires spend their first week waiting on access tickets.”
“Every audit, we pull access lists by hand from a dozen systems.”
“We found a leaver’s account still active in a SaaS app months after they left.”
Access That Follows the Person, Automatically
Identity governance ties access to your HR record and your approval rules.
When someone joins, changes role, or leaves, their accounts and permissions change with them, and every decision is logged for audit.
Enterprise Identity Governance Rollout
Automated account creation and terminations, approval loops, and audit-ready processes being implemented across all of an enterprise client’s systems.

How an Identity Governance Project Works
Step 1
Assess: Map identity sources, connected systems, admin roles, and today’s joiner, mover, and leaver process to find gaps and audit risks.
Step 2
Design: Define roles, access packages, approval rules, review cadence, and Conditional Access policies.
Step 3
Pilot and Build: Connect the HR source, configure lifecycle workflows, and onboard the first apps with a pilot group.
Step 4
Roll Out and Run: Extend to every system and hand over runbooks, or let Maintech manage Entra after go-live.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is identity governance and administration (IGA)?
Identity governance and administration is the set of processes and tools that control who gets access to what, for how long, and with whose approval. It covers automated provisioning and deprovisioning, approval workflows, access reviews, and an audit trail across your systems.
How do you automate joiner, mover, and leaver processes?
Connect your HR system as the source of truth, then let lifecycle workflows create, change, and remove accounts and access automatically as people join, change roles, or leave. Approvals and exceptions route to the right manager, and every change is logged.
What does Microsoft Entra ID Governance include?
Microsoft Entra ID Governance adds entitlement management (access packages), access reviews, lifecycle workflows for joiners, movers, and leavers, and Privileged Identity Management for time-limited admin access. It is licensed as an add-on to Microsoft Entra ID P1 or P2 and is also included in Microsoft Entra Suite.
How do access reviews work?
On a schedule you set, managers or resource owners confirm whether each person still needs their access. Anything not confirmed can be removed automatically, and the results are kept as audit evidence.
How do you set up SSO and SCIM provisioning for SaaS apps?
We connect each SaaS application to Microsoft Entra ID for single sign-on, then turn on SCIM provisioning where the application supports it, so accounts are created, updated, and removed automatically as people join, move, or leave. Applications are prepared and tested before cutover, so users keep access from day one.
Do we need identity governance if we already have MFA?
Yes. MFA proves who is signing in; identity governance controls what they can reach and removes access when it is no longer needed. Leavers with active accounts and over-privileged movers are common audit findings that MFA alone does not fix.
