Your IDM-Portal,
made by people, for people
The first IGA system that needs no explanation
Decision-makers and administrators are not the only people who work with the IDM-Portal every day. Specialist departments, HR managers and employees also use it in their daily work.
Human-centric design is our guiding principle. People who use the portal need to trust it, and it must enrich their working day instead of complicating it. That is why our interfaces are designed so that even non-technical users can maintain identity data and handle access approvals intuitively in their daily work. This makes complex permissions immediately understandable and helps prevent misconfigurations.
With the IDM-Portal, you can also see at any time who has access to what. We call this "maximum access visibility". For IT, everything becomes transparent; for users, it remains invisible in the background.
What Identity Governance & Administration
actually means
Identity and Access Management (IAM) is the operational foundation. It ensures that the right identity gets access to the right resources.
Identity Governance & Administration (IGA) is the area that manages, controls and documents these identities.
It rests on three pillars, each covering a specific part of this task:
Administration
The entire lifecycle of an identity is covered, from creation to deactivation.
Governance
Policies such as recertification and segregation of duties are actually enforced.
Reporting & Analytics
Every decision is documented in an audit-proof way and remains auditable at any time.
Everything your Identity Governance & Administration needs
All the following areas come together in a single interface: the FirstWare IDM-Portal.
Access Management
Access management, often the largest cost block in ongoing operations, becomes visible and manageable.
Identity Lifecycle Management
Every identity is recorded and automatically managed from entry to exit.
Identity Delegation
Specialist departments handle many administrative tasks themselves, giving your IT more time for higher-value work.
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
Reduced attack surface because no one has more permissions than their role requires.
Profile & Self Management
Fewer tickets for your IT because employees and teams manage data and access themselves.
Approval
workflows
Secure approvals by the right decision-maker, quickly and easily within daily operations.
IAM Automation
A single change is enough; everything else runs automatically, immediately or on a scheduled basis.
Resource
Management
All resources are recorded, making it clear at all times who is responsible for what.
System Integrations
One interface for your entire system landscape instead of one application per system.
The same problem across industries
As different as industries may be, their core problem is often the same: identities are created once, while access rights change constantly. This is exactly where the FirstWare IDM-Portal comes in.
Companies
Growth, new projects, departmental changes: the larger your organization, the faster the number of access rights that need to be managed grows.
Public authorities and agencies
Federal structures and multiple locations require clear, traceable responsibilities, not a single central IT team expected to handle everything alone.
Clinics
Rotating staff, shift work and highly sensitive patient data come together. Every access right must be traceable and immediately revocable.
Logistics providers
Many locations, high turnover, seasonal staff: access management has to work just as fast as day-to-day operations.
What sets the IDM-Portal apart from traditional IAM systems
Many IAM solutions focus on the identity itself: creating and deleting accounts. The real effort, however, comes afterwards in the ongoing maintenance of access rights.
The FirstWare IDM-Portal addresses exactly this point. It combines user-friendliness with real governance depth, remains vendor- and cloud-independent and integrates flexibly into hybrid system landscapes without tying you to a single provider.
What also sets the FirstWare IDM-Portal apart is the depth of its delegation. Responsibility can be delegated not only broadly, but down to individual attributes to specialist departments or decentralized IT teams, more granularly than most traditional IAM systems even provide for.
You also decide on the operating model yourself: fully cloud-based, hybrid or on-premises. As your needs grow, you can extend the configuration yourself instead of waiting for a development project. We adapt to your requirements, not the other way around.
