IGA strategy & architecture
Target architecture, platform selection and a roadmap your teams can actually deliver.
IAM · IGA · PAM · NHI · AI agent identity
Least privilege, maximum nerdiness.
IAMNerds is an Identity & Access Management consultancy working with clients worldwide. We untangle access for people, service accounts and AI agents, so every identity gets the access it needs and nothing more.
Who are you, and why do you have admin rights?
Identity work, done properly
From the first access inventory to the last certification campaign. We design it, build it and make sure it still works when the auditors arrive.
Joiner, mover, leaver
HR-driven provisioning, so access arrives on day one and disappears on the last.
Role models & certifications
Business roles people understand, and access reviews that are more than rubber stamps.
Privileged access
Admin accounts vaulted, sessions recorded, standing privileges reduced to as close to zero as you can bear.
Non-human identities
Service accounts, API keys, secrets and workload identities, each with a named owner.
AI agent identity governance
Scoped, time-bound access for AI agents, with an accountable human behind every one.
SAP & directories
SAP, Active Directory and Entra ID connected cleanly to your identity platform.
Audit readiness
Evidence on demand for ISO 27001, NIS2 and internal audit, without the Excel archaeology.
Identity security for every sector
Wherever sensitive data and critical systems need protecting, access has to be right. These are the industries we work in.
Automotive
Plant, dealer and supplier access across global networks, with SAP at the core.
Aviation
Shift-based crews, contractors and safety-critical systems that can't wait for access.
Banking & Financial Services
Segregation of duties, recertification cycles and regulator-ready evidence.
Pharmaceuticals
Validated systems and clean audit trails for regulated research and production data.
Retail
High staff turnover across stores, with seasonal joiners and leavers every month.
Telecom
Privileged network access and thousands of service accounts behind customer operations.
Tourism
Seasonal staff, partner portals and booking systems shared across many hands.
Insurance
Agents, brokers and claims systems that handle sensitive personal data.
Manufacturing
IT meets OT: shared shop-floor accounts, machine identities and plant systems.
Non-human identity & AI agents
Not every identity has a pulse.
Machine identities now outnumber people in most environments, and AI agents are joining them fast. They log in, call APIs and touch production data. We govern them with the same discipline as your employees.
- OwnerEvery service account and agent has a named, accountable human.
- PurposeAccess is tied to a documented job, not to "it might need it".
- ScopeLeast privilege by default, with secrets vaulted and rotated.
- ExpiryCredentials and permissions end when the job does.
How a project runs
Four phases, each with a clear outcome. Small enough to start fast, structured enough to survive a steering committee.
Discover
Inventory every identity and entitlement, human and machine. Find the orphans and the over-privileged.
Design
Roles, policies, approval flows and the target architecture, agreed with the business.
Build
Implement the platform, connect HR, SAP and directories, and automate the lifecycle.
Govern
Certification campaigns, monitoring and a clean handover to your operations team.
Platforms we know inside out
Yes, these are the same names floating at the top of the page. We are vendor-neutral and pick what fits your landscape.

About
Nerds, on purpose
IAMNerds was founded by an IAM/IGA architect with more than 18 years of hands-on enterprise identity projects, from greenfield rollouts to rescuing implementations that had stalled.
We are based in Germany and work with organizations worldwide, remotely or on site. We like clean role models, readable documentation and audit findings that never happen.
