Identity & Access Management

Identity-first security for the modern SaaS stack.

Senior IAM consultants, staff augmentation, and authorized reseller of the tools your security roadmap actually needs. We work exclusively with mid-market SaaS companies navigating enterprise security audits.

What we do

Services

Three ways to engage. Start with the one your team needs most — layer the others as you scale.

IAM Consulting

Architecture reviews, SOC2 / ISO27001 readiness, and Zero Trust migration. We assess your current Okta, Entra ID, or Ping deployment against your three-year roadmap and deliver a prioritized remediation plan your engineers can execute.

  • IAM architecture blueprints
  • SOC2 & ISO27001 control implementation
  • Access review automation

Staff Augmentation

Senior IAM engineers placed directly at your client site or embedded in your team. Fractional or full-time, weekly or quarterly. We bench real practitioners — not generalists rebranded as “identity consultants” for the month.

  • Senior IAM architects (10+ yrs)
  • PAM / CyberArk engineers
  • Project managers for Okta / Ping rollouts
  • Bilingual (EN/FR) delivery
Most requested

Licensing & Deployment

Authorized reseller for leading identity platforms. Licensing support, implementation, and deployment — priced in USD for US customers, delivered in both English and French where required.

  • License procurement & tier fit
  • Greenfield tenant buildouts
  • Migration from legacy IAM
Products we deploy

“Most audit failures I've seen don't come from missing tools. They come from identity controls that look right on a slide but fall apart the first time an engineer leaves the company on a Friday.”

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.
