In today's complex business environment where organizations must protect sensitive data and maintain robust cybersecurity measures, whilst navigating intricate regulatory requirements, identity governance plays a critical role. Powered Cyber - Identity Governance brings together KPMG’s expertise and methodology with Microsoft Entra technology to help address the increasing challenges organizations face in managing workforce digital identities and access controls efficiently and securely.
Companies that transform successfully ask hard questions:
- How can we get the most out of our identity security technology suite?
- Can we align our identity and access strategy with industry standards?
- Does our identity and access management (IAM) program meet the needs of our business?
- Is our organization tracking pertinent security and risk indicators from our identity program?
- How do we ensure our IAM solution is meeting our modern security and technology needs?
Powered Cyber – Identity Governance helps answer such questions and consists of a set of digital tools that help organizations transform their cyber function. Drawing on our deep functional expertise, we’ve built a wide-ranging set of tools covering several aspects of the cyber function’s operating model. It’s designed to help businesses get to “best practice” quickly and securely so that they can drive sustainable change and avoid a lot of the pitfalls that can come with traditional approaches to digital transformation.
In this joint proposition, KPMG and Microsoft strive to equip organizations with extensive digital identity governance services that incorporate the Powered Enterprise delivery accelerators and leverage the advanced technologies of the Microsoft Entra suite. This collaboration empowers businesses to streamline their identity management processes, enhance resource allocation, and fortify their security posture, all with the purpose of maintaining compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.
The challenge of Identity and Access Management is meeting requirements of security and risk management, while providing a seamless user experience such that the workforce has the right access when they need it.

More about Powered Cyber – Identity Governance: How does it work?
KPMG expands its digital identity portfolio with the inclusion of Microsoft technology to enable Powered Cyber – Identity Governance, enriching its extensive Powered Enterprise model library. Powered Enterprise includes the KPMG Target Operating Model, Powered Technology and Powered Evolution. Together, they can help make your business more responsive, resilient and competitive — and bring the future within reach today.
The KPMG Target Operating Model helps you establish the design for what an ideal cyber function should look like across six layers - processes, people, the service delivery model, technology, performance insights and data, and governance. Through Powered Technology, KPMG professionals work with Microsoft to implement pre-built tools and methods that reflect leading practices and incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced automation aligned to the Target Operating Model to help simplify functional transformation.
Powered Evolution is how KPMG professionals continue to support clients after implementing Identity Governance capabilities through a managed services model. An important characteristic of the cloud or subscription technology is that it’s regularly changing. When new features are delivered by Microsoft, or there are changes to an organization, KPMG professionals help make those changes so that their operating model is up to date.
Microsoft Entra encompasses all of Microsoft’s identity and access capabilities. Standing at the heart of the Microsoft technology ecosystem, Microsoft Entra offers smooth integration with your organization that spans both cloud and on-premises environments to help maximize the potential of your Microsoft portfolio.
