Do we need to re-architect identity when consolidating SaaS platforms?

Identity Architecture Assessment

SaaS consolidation, M&A integration, or Zero Trust initiatives often expose hidden assumptions about identity that block progress or create security gaps.

Why This Question Matters

Most organizations assume "we have Okta/Entra, so identity is solved." But consolidating platforms surfaces conflicting identity models, orphaned access, shadow federation, and governance gaps. Teams that assess identity architecture early avoid 6-12 month delays and compliance findings.

What the Output Will Cover

This output will map: identity authority boundaries, federation topology, provisioning and deprovisioning flows, access governance gaps, and trust boundaries across platforms. You will receive a reference architecture showing where identity decisions must be made before consolidation proceeds.
