A clearer read on your IAM program. In 15 minutes.
A research-backed maturity assessment. It covers nine IAM domains, maps to more than twenty compliance frameworks, quantifies risk using FAIR, and turns the result into an executive-ready report.
Also a reference implementation of the Open IGA Operating Framework. The same risk model runs standalone as a free breach cost calculator.
A practitioner’s map of how IAM actually works.
Nine domains, eight frameworks, and the patterns that separate programs that hold up from ones that look good on paper, with the real failure modes and inter-domain dependencies mapped.

An open, citable operating framework: six layers in build order, forty-seven numbered decisions, and the failure modes that show where a program is broken. Tool-agnostic, CC BY 4.0, and open for practitioner review as a v0.1 public draft.
