Customer Identity and Access Management

Protect customer access.
Preserve the service relationship.

MAITS designs CIAM around customer experience, privacy, fraud and security, application integration and the complete account lifecycle.

More than a login page

CIAM connects customer registration, proof, authentication, recovery, consent, profile, account relationships, APIs and operational support.

Capability

Design the whole customer identity journey.

Entra External ID is one implementation capability; MAITS also works from standards, business requirements and the surrounding application architecture.

ONBOARD

Registration and progressive profiling

Collect what the service needs at the appropriate time, with clear proofing and privacy boundaries.

AUTH

Authentication and passwordless

Design passwords, passkeys, social identity, MFA and step-up around customer risk and usability.

TRUST

Federation and B2B/B2C identity

Use OIDC, OAuth, SAML, partner federation and External ID patterns across customer and business relationships.

RECOVER

Customer account recovery

Re-establish trust safely when devices, credentials, contact details or account context change.

RELATE

Consent, linking and delegation

Govern consent, account linking, household or organisation relationships and delegated access.

INTEGRATE

Lifecycle and API integration

Connect identity events, application roles, claims, profile, fraud signals, support and account closure.

Engagement outcomes

Make the next decision and delivery step clearer.

EXPERIENCE

Coherent customer journey

Registration, sign-in, recovery and support behave as one service.

PRIVACY

Purposeful data use

Profile and consent reflect the service relationship and privacy obligations.

SECURITY

Risk-aware controls

Authentication and recovery match customer and transaction risk.

ARCHITECTURE

Replaceable boundaries

Standards and APIs reduce unnecessary platform coupling.

Expected outputs

Useful artefacts for the people who must act.

Outputs are agreed for the engagement scope and written for the leaders, architects, engineers, operators and assurance teams who will use them.

Review evidence, architecture, controls, risk, capability and delivery readiness.

03 / DESIGN

Define the target

Set principles, architecture, policy, operating ownership and a practical change sequence.

04 / DELIVER

Implement the change

Configure, integrate, automate, migrate and roll out alongside accountable teams.

05 / VALIDATE

Test the outcome

Review behaviour, evidence, exceptions, recovery, readiness and residual risk.

06 / UPLIFT

Embed knowledge, governance, runbooks, measures and an owned improvement path.
