Stop spending Friday evenings rebuilding the same identity mapping while audit gaps keep haunting the board.

$199 one-time

Tailored to your situation. Access within 24 hours. 30-day money-back.

Includes a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access, generated for your specific situation.

Why this course

Your team is stuck maintaining custom SAML mappings for each legacy application, while new SaaS services demand OpenID Connect. Every onboarding request triggers a chain of manual config changes, causing delays, errors, and compliance headaches. The audit window looms, and stakeholders keep asking for a single source of truth for identity evidence.

At the same time, the security operations group complains that you cannot prove consistent MFA enforcement across the portfolio, and the devops crew spends hours scripting token refreshes instead of delivering features. Without a unified provider, you risk missing critical access reviews and exposing the organization to credential-theft attacks.

What you walk away with

Design a provider architecture that supports SAML, OIDC, and SCIM out of the box.
Create a reusable onboarding checklist that cuts setup time by 70%.
Generate audit-ready evidence packs for access reviews in a single click.
Implement automated MFA enforcement across all applications.
Establish a governance cadence that keeps identity data clean and compliant.

Module 8. Building Audit-Ready Evidence Packs

Generate reports that satisfy internal and external reviewers instantly.

Module 9. Running Access Review Workflows

Create a repeatable process for quarterly entitlement certification.

Module 10. Establishing Governance Cadence

Set up meetings, metrics, and RACI for ongoing identity health.

Module 11. Monitoring, Alerting, and Incident Response

Deploy dashboards and alerts to catch mis-provisioning early.

Module 12. Continuous Improvement and Scaling

Iterate on the provider as new applications and standards emerge.

How this addresses your situation

Specific modules that map to what you said you are dealing with.

Module 1 covers Mapping Business Requirements to Provider Capabilities , exactly the confusion you face when each line-of-business asks for a different login flow.

Module 5 covers Automating User Provisioning , that is the manual account-creation nightmare you encounter each time a new SaaS app is added.

Module 8 covers Building Audit-Ready Evidence Packs , precisely the rush you feel when the quarterly audit request lands on your inbox.

Before and after

Before

You currently juggle separate spreadsheets for each application, store credentials in shared drives, and scramble to produce ad-hoc screenshots for audits. Evidence lives in email threads, provisioning scripts are scattered across repos, and every quarterly review triggers emergency patching of broken connections.

After

After the course you have a single, documented provider architecture, a live dashboard showing compliance status, and a ready-to-export evidence pack for every audit. Onboarding follows a standardized checklist, and leadership can see clear metrics on identity health and risk reduction.

What happens if you do not address this

If you ignore this now, the next audit cycle will expose missing MFA evidence and trigger remediation costs. Your team will continue to lose weeks each sprint to manual provisioning, jeopardizing the upcoming product launch. Senior leadership may question your ability to secure the identity surface, affecting career progression.

Who it is for

An IAM Engineer who spends days each sprint reconciling user provisioning rules, writing adapters for each vendor, and fielding security tickets. You operate in a fast-growing enterprise, balancing rapid SaaS adoption with legacy on-prem systems, and you need a systematic way to centralize identity without endless custom code.

Who this is NOT for. This is not for someone who needs a basic introduction to what an identity provider is.

How it arrives

Within 24 hours of purchase your account in the learning environment is provisioned and the tailored implementation playbook is delivered alongside it. The playbook is hand-built around your specific situation, not LLM-generated boilerplate.

Time investment. 6 hours of focused work spread over a week and you will save an estimated 40-60 hours of internal scaffolding effort.

Why $199 is the right number

A half-day consultant would charge $2-5K for the same scope, generic compliance courses run $800-2K, and building the solution yourself consumes 60+ hours of engineering time. For $199 you get a complete method, artefacts, and a custom playbook that delivers ROI in weeks.

FAQ

Do I need prior experience with SAML or OIDC?

The course assumes basic protocol knowledge and builds the implementation details step by step.

Will the templates work with our existing directory service?

All artefacts are provider-agnostic and include mapping guides for LDAP, AD, and cloud directories.

How much time do I need to allocate each week?

Allocate about 2-3 hours per module; the course is designed for busy professionals.

Is support included after the course ends?

You get access to a community forum and a quarterly live Q&A for continued guidance.
