Northwind manages any identity platform, including Okta, Microsoft Entra and Google Workspace.

How Northwind runs identity for you

Identity and access management (IAM) controls who can sign in to your applications and what each person can reach.

We set it up and run it on the directory you choose, connected to each application your staff use.

When someone joins, changes roles or leaves, their access changes everywhere at once.

What Northwind manages on your identity platform

  • Single sign-on

    Northwind connects your applications to your directory, and staff sign in once to reach all of them.

  • Multi-factor authentication

    Confirm each sign-in with a second factor, and ask for more when something looks unusual.

  • Passwordless sign-in

    Replace passwords with phishing-resistant sign-in. With no password to type, a fake sign-in page has nothing to capture.

  • Lifecycle management

    Set up new hires before their first day and remove access when someone leaves. Northwind automates both.

  • One directory

    Keep users, groups and devices in one directory and set access policy in a single place.

  • Access visibility

    See who can reach each application and remove access that is no longer needed.

Questions about identity and access management

Which platforms does Northwind support for identity and access management?

Northwind manages any identity platform, including Okta, Microsoft Entra, Google Workspace and Active Directory. We review what you already have before recommending a change.

Can you remove a former employee’s access everywhere at once?

Yes. Your applications connect to one directory, and turning off the account ends access to all of them.

Can we get rid of passwords?

Yes, on most identity platforms. Northwind sets up passwordless, phishing-resistant sign-in and moves your staff over.

Does identity and access management help with a cyber insurance questionnaire?

Yes. Insurers ask about multi-factor authentication, admin accounts and offboarding, and identity management covers all three. We document each control as we set it up.

Can Northwind move us to a new identity platform?

Yes. We migrate organizations from older directories to the platform that fits, and sign-ins keep working during the move.

What is identity and access management?

Identity and access management (IAM) is the set of tools and policies that controls who can sign in to an organization’s systems and what each person can reach. Northwind runs it on the platform you choose. Entry to your building is a separate service, door access control.

Ready to talk about identity?

We will review your accounts and applications and tell you whether your current identity platform fits.
