Identity and Access Management Setup
Building the system that decides who can log into what and what they can then do, rather than reviewing what already exists. GullySystem designs and sets up roles, sign-on and account lifecycle for growing teams.
What Identity and Access Management Sets Up
This is construction work, not review: a role structure, a way to sign into the systems your business uses, and a defined process for what happens to access when someone joins, changes role or leaves, so access is granted deliberately from the start rather than accumulated ad hoc.
What Happens Without a Proper Access System
- Every new hire is given the same broad login because no role structure exists to give them anything narrower
- Staff who leave keep working access for months because there is no single place to switch it off
- Each system your business uses has its own separate login, with no central way to see who has access to what across all of them
- Multi-factor authentication exists on paper but was never actually rolled out to everyone who should have it
What Gets Built
A Role Structure
Access levels defined around actual jobs in your business, rather than copied from whatever the software vendor shipped by default.
Single Sign-On Where It Helps
One login covering multiple systems, reducing both password fatigue and the number of places access has to be switched off.
A Joiner-Mover-Leaver Process
A defined, repeatable procedure for granting, changing and removing access as people's roles change.
Multi-Factor Rollout
Multi-factor authentication actually turned on and enforced for the accounts that need it most.
When to Set This Up
As headcount grows past the point where everyone can be tracked informally, when a business expands beyond a single office, or when the number of separate tools and systems in use has outgrown anyone's ability to remember who has access to which one. Businesses already running several disconnected logins are the most common starting point.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as reviewing our current logins and permissions?
No. This is building or restructuring the system that manages access going forward — roles, sign-on and the joiner-mover-leaver process. Reviewing the accounts and permissions you already have is a separate, shorter engagement.
What drives the cost of an IAM setup?
The number of systems being brought under a common access structure, and the number of distinct roles your business actually needs. Bringing three tools under one sign-on costs less than integrating a dozen systems each with their own login model.
What determines how long an IAM rollout takes?
How available your team is for the workshops needed to map roles correctly, and how many systems support the sign-on method chosen. Systems with modern support for single sign-on integrate faster than older or custom-built logins.
Does this work with the tools we already use, like Google Workspace or Microsoft 365?
Yes. Setup typically builds on the identity provider you already have, rather than replacing it, and extends it to cover the other systems and custom logins your business runs.
Who owns the access system once it is set up?
You do. The role structure, sign-on configuration and the process documentation belong to your business, and your own staff are trained to run the joiner-mover-leaver process afterwards.
What information do you need from us before starting?
A list of the systems currently in use, who owns each one, and a rough sense of the distinct jobs in your business that need different levels of access, so a workable role structure can be designed around them.
