Abstract

Currently existing digital challenges such as securing access, proof of compliance with regulations and improvement of business performance are urging companies to implement structured Identity and Access Management (IAM). Over the past decades, the introduction of IAM represented a critical task for companies trying to get their complex IT infrastructures comprising hundreds of systems, thousands of accounts and millions of access right assignments under control. However, once introduced, the identification of potential IAM malfunctions remains an unsolved challenge. Within this paper, we want to provide a first step into the direction of sustainable IAM maintenance, by introducing indicators that are able to capture the efficiency of a rolled-out IAM. We firstly derive IAM performance indicators via a structured scientific approach and later evaluate their relevance by surveying IAM experts.
