Techcorp IAM

implementation Plan
System Configuration
• Servers
• Cloud-based servers will be best for scalability and global reach.
• Also we can start with virtual machines (VMs) and scale up to
containers or serverless functions as needed
• We can use AWS or Azure for implementing this.
• On-Premises Servers-a minimum of 2-3 servers for redundancy (load
balancer, authentication server, database server)
• Softwares
• Operating System-stable and secure Linux distribution like Ubuntu on
both cloud VMs or on-premise servers
• Programming Languages-Java, Python
• Database: PostgreSQL-for user data, access control, and audit logs.
Also offers good performance and scalability.
• Web Server-Apache
• Directory Services-Active Directory for on-premises and AWS Directory
Service for Cloud-based directory service for centralized user identity
management
Connectivity and Integrations
• Establish connections between the IAM system and user
directories (like Active Directory or LDAP), authentication
protocols (like SAML or OAuth), and target applications or
resources that needs to be protected with IAM.
• Single sign On: This will ensure user to provide their
authentication credentials once to access the necessary
resources
IAM -Password policy
• Stronger password- higher security account.
• We can setup a password policy
• Set a minimum password length
• Require specific character types:
• including uppercase letters
• lowercase letters
• numbers
• non-alphanumeric characters
• Allow all IAM users to change their own passwords.
• Require users to change their password after some
time(Password expiration)
• Prevent password re-use.
Multi- factor Authentication
• MFA= password you know + security device you own
Authorization
• Access control policies within the IAM system- These
policies determine which users or groups have access to specific resources
and what actions they can perform
• User and Access Management:
• User Provisioning:
• Create user accounts within the IAM system.
• Integrating with existing user directories for automated provisioning.
• Group Management:
• Organize users into groups based on shared roles or permissions.
• This simplifies policy assignment as permissions can be applied to
groups rather than individual users.
User Creation and Assigning Roles
• Group Management

• Access Assignment
• Assign appropriate access permissions to users or groups based on
their roles and responsibilities.
• Use the principle of least privilege, granting only the minimum access
required for users to perform their jobs.
Testing and Validation
• Authentication Testing:
• Ensure users can successfully log in to the IAM system using their
designated credentials.

• Authorization Testing:
• Verify that users can access authorized resources and are denied
access to unauthorized ones based on the defined policies.
• Implement strong access controls and user activity monitoring

• System Performance Testing:


• Test the IAM system under load to ensure it can handle your
expected number of users and access requests without performance
degradation.
Timeline specifications
Stage 1: System Design & Architecture (2-4 Weeks)
• Designing of system architecture with scalability and high availability
• Select appropriate cloud provider or on-premise hardware
specifications.
• Choose specific software components (OS, database, web server,
directory service).
• Design data model for user information, access controls, and audit logs.
Stage 2: Development & Testing (8-12 Weeks)
• Develop core IAM platform functionalities with Java or python
languages and chosen frameworks.
• Integrate with directory services for user identity management.
• Implementing security features like MFA, data encryption, and access
controls.
• Conduct rigorous unit testing and integration testing.
Stage 4: Deployment & User Acceptance Testing (2-4 Weeks)
• Deploy the IAM platform on cloud or on-premise.
• Configure and harden the system for security.
• Conduct User Acceptance Testing (UAT) with a representative
group of users.
• Gather feedback and iterate based on user testing results.
Stage 5: Launch & Monitoring (1-2 Weeks + Ongoing)
• Launch the IAM platform to Tech corp’s user base.
• Implementing System moninitoring tools (AWS CloudWatch
for Cloud platform and Prometheus or Zabbix for On-premises
)to track performance and identify issues.
• Establish regular security audits and penetration testing.
• Continuously monitor user feedback and make improvements
as needed.
