Make identity work
the way it should.

IAM Architecture · Governance · Automation · Execution

Greysolve helps mid-market organizations design, modernize, govern, and automate identity across Microsoft Entra, Active Directory, Okta, and PAM environments.

Whether you're dealing with an IAM transformation, a growing backlog, manual processes, fragmented identity systems, or a team that needs experienced technical leadership — we help you get the work done.

i. The problem

When IAM gets complicated,
we make it manageable.

Identity problems rarely stay confined to one system. They cross applications, infrastructure, security, HR, compliance, and the business. Greysolve brings together IAM architecture, governance, hands-on engineering, and program leadership to solve those problems without creating another layer of complexity.

Fragmented Systems

Okta, Entra ID, Active Directory, PAM, HR systems, and dozens of apps — each managing identity their own way. No source of truth. No consistent governance.

ii.

Stalled Initiatives

IAM programs that got scoped, planned, and then buried under competing priorities, staff turnover, or a backlog that keeps growing faster than it gets resolved.

iii.

The Capacity Gap

Architecture, governance, and implementation all require different skills — and most teams don't have all three at the right level at the right time.

ii. What We Do

Architecture. Governance.
Automation. Execution.

Four capability areas. One firm. No handoffs between a strategy team and an implementation team.

Architecture

Design an identity environment that supports where your organization is going — not just where it is today.

IAM architecture and strategy
Okta and Microsoft Entra
Active Directory modernization
PAM architecture
Identity integrations
Target-state design

Governance

Create governance that works in the real world — not governance that exists primarily to satisfy an audit.

IAM operating models
Identity policies and standards
Roles and responsibilities
Access lifecycle
Joiner / mover / leaver processes
Access governance and control design
Governance automation

Automation

Replace repetitive identity work with reliable, scalable processes.

Provisioning and deprovisioning
Joiner / mover / leaver automation
Access requests and approvals
Identity lifecycle workflows
Access reviews and certifications
Okta / Entra integrations
PAM workflows
Identity data synchronization

Program Execution

Good architecture doesn't matter if nobody can get it implemented.

IAM program leadership
Technical project leadership
Vendor coordination
Roadmaps and execution plans
Architecture-to-implementation support
Backlog and prioritization
Stakeholder alignment

Each engagement connects strategy to implementation — architecture that gets built, governance that runs operationally, automation that holds.

Probably not a fit if

You need something different

01You want a vendor to sell you a tool and call it a solution
02You're looking for a generic compliance checkbox exercise
03You want a slide deck with no implementation support
04You need someone to learn IAM on your environment

iv. How it works

From identity problem
to working solution.

A typical engagement moves through four stages — from understanding what you have to making sure it holds after we leave.

01 · UNDERSTAND

Assess the current state

We assess your current architecture, processes, technology, and business requirements — so we're solving the actual problem, not the assumed one.

02 · DESIGN

Define the target state

We define the target architecture, governance model, priorities, and automation opportunities — with a roadmap that accounts for your real constraints.

03 · BUILD

Implement the solution

We work hands-on to implement the solution — not just hand you a report. Configuration, integration, automation, and rollout.

04 · OPERATIONALIZE

Make it sustainable

We help establish the processes, ownership, and automation needed to keep the solution working — so it doesn't quietly degrade after we leave.
