RBAC and ABAC

Turn permissions into
an explainable access model.

MAITS helps organisations discover roles, rationalise permissions and combine business responsibility with reliable attributes, assurance, device and risk context.

Implementable policy

The goal is a model that business owners can explain, platforms can enforce, governance can maintain and auditors can reconstruct.

Capability

Separate the building blocks of access.

Roles, permissions, entitlements, attributes and policies answer different questions and need different owners.

DISCOVER

Role discovery and engineering

Identify business, technical and application roles from responsibilities, access evidence and process—not job title alone.

MODEL

Permissions and entitlements

Rationalise permissions into owned entitlements, catalogues, access matrices and understandable request options.

CONTROL

Least privilege and SoD

Address toxic combinations, birthright, requestable and privileged access with explicit policy and exception handling.

HIERARCHY

Role hierarchy and lifecycle

Design inheritance, ownership, versioning, change, review and retirement without recreating role sprawl.

ATTRIBUTES

ABAC context

Use reliable identity, organisational, device and resource attributes with assurance, risk, environment, time and location where appropriate.

HYBRID

Hybrid access decisions

Combine stable roles with contextual attributes and policy while retaining clear ownership and auditability.

Engagement outcomes

Make the next decision and delivery step clearer.

EQUATION

Decision model

Identity + role + attributes + assurance + device + risk produce a defined access decision.

SIMPLIFY

Permission rationalisation

Duplicate, opaque and excessive access is reduced before automation.

GOVERN

Governance integration

Role and attribute changes connect to owners, lifecycle and review.

PROVE

Auditability

The policy, inputs, decision and exception path can be explained.

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.

From advice through implementation

Enter at the stage where support is needed.

MAITS can provide one bounded stage or remain involved across design, delivery, validation and capability transfer.

01 / DISCOVER

Understand the decision

Clarify the people, systems, obligations, constraints, ownership and outcome involved.

02 / ASSESS

Establish current state

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

Transfer capability

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

Related capability

Continue with the service that matches the next decision.
