Environments we have worked in
Post-acquisition identity environments are exposed. We assess your Okta and IGA posture in two weeks and deliver a clear remediation roadmap — before it becomes an audit finding or a breach.
When an acquisition closes, identity governance falls into a gap. Most IT teams don't have the time or tooling to assess it properly — until an auditor does it for them.
Terminated employees from the acquired entity remain active in Okta and downstream apps — invisible to the new IT team until an auditor finds them.
Two Okta tenants, two AD environments, two sets of admin accounts. Combined environments routinely carry 3–4x the admin access that is operationally necessary.
Joiner-Mover-Leaver workflows that lived in tribal knowledge at the acquired company do not transfer with the headcount. Offboarding becomes manual and error-prone.
What was true at renewal is not true after the acquisition. Underwriters are asking specific questions about access governance the combined entity cannot answer cleanly.
The combined entity has never reviewed the full merged user population. Every unreviewed account is a finding waiting to surface in the next audit cycle.
"Companies that go through an acquisition typically inherit 3–4 identity governance gaps that do not surface until an audit or a cyber insurance review."
These gaps are predictable, recurring, and expensive to ignore. SOX compliance, cyber insurance renewal, and board-level security reviews all surface them — usually at the worst possible time. An IAM readiness assessment finds them first, before they become findings, fines, or headlines.
Every engagement follows a defined process with a defined deliverable. No ambiguity about what you are getting or what happens next.
A complete review of your Okta tenant, Active Directory, IGA configuration, and JML processes — documented in a written findings report your board, auditor, or insurer can read.
Fixed-scope implementation of the critical findings from the assessment. Top gaps closed, documented, and audit-ready — no open-ended retainer commitment required.
20 hours per month of structured IAM advisory. Defined scope, predictable cost, monthly written summary, and a quarterly business review so you always know what has been done and what is next.
Fixed scope. Fixed price. One clear deliverable. No hourly billing, no scope creep, no ambiguity about when the engagement is done.
5 Identity Governance Gaps PE-Backed Companies Miss in the First 90 Days Post-Acquisition

A misconfigured IAM role exposed over 100M customer records. The attacker didn't break through Capital One's security — she walked through a door left open by a permissions setting nobody reviewed.

Uber had multi-factor authentication enabled. It didn't matter. An 18-year-old sent 40 push notifications in 30 minutes and walked into the entire network. Here's what actually failed.
Read the case studyRisk Ready Identity is a specialized IAM advisory practice with direct experience managing identity governance inside PE-backed environments at scale.
The practice was built around a simple observation: every post-acquisition environment has the same identity governance gaps, and most internal IT teams do not have the time or tooling to find them before auditors do.
The assessment product exists to close that gap — a defined engagement that surfaces what is exposed, prioritizes what matters, and gives your team a clear path forward with no ambiguity about scope or cost.
A 20-minute discovery call is enough to determine whether the assessment is the right fit. No sales deck. No pressure. Just a direct conversation about your environment and what you are trying to solve.
