Helm Identity and access management

The most common way into an organisation is not a clever exploit. It is an account: one that should have been closed, one that had more access than the job needed, or one protected by a password alone.

Helm is where access is decided and recorded. Every person has one identity, with the permissions their role actually requires and no more. Sign-in can be protected with a second factor. When somebody leaves or changes role, access changes with them, and there is a record of when, and who approved it.

It also runs the review that regulators ask about: a periodic pass over who has access to what, signed off by the person accountable for it, with the outcome kept. That is a task most organisations do badly because it is tedious to assemble; here the list assembles itself.

For our managed customers, the credentials that our own platform uses on your systems are held under the same discipline: per-organisation, rotatable, and never shared between customers.
