About
Built by a practitioner, not a generalist.
IdentityFirst Solutions is a boutique identity firm founded by Ysar Asli, a former IAM architect who spent a decade building identity platforms at enterprise consulting firms. We work exclusively with mid-market SaaS companies navigating enterprise security audits.
Our model is senior, small, and hands-on. No rotating bench, no offshore hand-off, no slide decks padding the timeline. Whether you engage us for a project, a placed consultant, or ongoing licensing support, you work directly with the person responsible for the outcome.
- Senior-only delivery. The person scoping the work is the person doing it.
- Fixed-scope SOWs. No surprise change orders mid-audit.
- Artifacts you own. Terraform, runbooks, and policies stay in your repos.
- Bilingual delivery (EN/FR) for Quebec and Canadian federal engagements.
