This professional service and product offering in identity
governance and administration (IGA) includes automated
Perseus IAM data management pipelines that, once configured,
continuously extract, correlate, normalize, and cleanse digital
identity and access data. This offering prepares you for your
IGA implementation journey and creates a continuous high-
performing, effective, and efficient hybrid infrastructure data
management layer.
An Identity Governance and Administration Quick Start
to help you prepare your IGA data for trustworthy
and efficient access certification.

Service Summary
Accurate and clean data is critical to the success of an IGA program. Although project
stakeholders may be aware that bad data can exist, they all too often underestimate the extent
of the issues. More importantly, they underestimate the time and effort needed to reliably correct
the data. As a result, IGA projects get underway prematurely only to experience impactful and
ongoing setbacks as dirty data from different systems is incorporated across the various phases
of a project and over time.
The IGA Data Management Service from Good Dog Labs exposes and corrects your data
challenges before your IGA projects begin. Furthermore, after the service engagement is
completed, the enterprise-class proprietary technology may be retained as an integral
component of your IAM program so you may continuously leverage the benefits for your IGA
processes or any other consumer of digital identity data you may incorporate in the future.
Specifically, the service will utilize technology to extract, correlate, transform, and normalize
digital identity data in relation to all the systems, applications, and devices from which it is
sourced.
Your enterprise will receive the following benefits:
• Establishes high-performing and secure, automated (IGA) data-processing pipelines and
frameworks for bootstrapping and accelerating your IGA program; establishes ongoing
digital identity data quality analytics and access recertification processes across
disparate technologies and integrated business processes.
• Allows your organization to implement an IGA program in small, iterative sprints while
establishing assets and simplifying complex data interrelationships to ease IGA platform
integration automation. Your organization can iteratively build IGA capabilities over time,
allowing you to reduce your data cleansing costs and enable fast data collection,
correlation, transformation, and normalization.
Implementation of this service offering consists of automated IGA data cleansing microservices
provided by Perseus IAM. By implementing this continuous IGA data cleansing approach, you
can clearly and accurately answer the questions of who has access to what and why. You can
also continuously and easily identify toxic access combinations, accelerate your project delivery,
and automate your enterprise’s IGA framework and platform.
This IGA quick start allows you to spend time upfront on implementing a model that yields the
lowest operational maintenance burden, is amenable to change, and is easy to understand from
a business perspective. Furthermore, this quick start is your first step to building automated and
integrated data cleansing for your IGA platform.

Tasks
Failure to fix a data quality and accuracy problem generally leads to significant data cleansing
and normalization costs and delayed project implementations, which affects project budgets and
probabilities of success.
This IGA quick start mitigates project cost overruns and delays while optimizing the entire
approach to automated IGA data cleansing.
High-level tasks include the following:
• Installation of Perseus IAM.
• Identification of the top two complex IGA data sources and associated data
relationships.
• Configuration of Perseus IAM data cleansing pipelines.
• Simulated data pipeline execution that will run pipelines without inserting and/or
modifying data in the integrated IGA platform. Perseus IAM reduces challenges over
data quality and accuracy that the organization will face when preparing for the IGA
platform installation, configuration, and access certification.
• Reporting of major data challenges and exceptions.
• Design and implementation of data normalization changes to expedite data importation
and onboarding into the IGA platform.
Overall, IAM/IGA return on investment is reduced, time to value is increased, and business
stakeholder satisfaction is increased.
Deliverables
This service offering comprises the following deliverables:
• Design of an automated data cleansing environment.
• Minimum multi-node installation of Perseus IAM.
• Configured and automated data cleansing pipelines.
• Data quality readiness, exception reports, and recommendations.
• Preconfigured interface for desired IGA platform solution.
• Data cleansing automation for up to two major applications and/or systems.

Delivered IGA Capabilities
As part of this professional services engagement, your organization will leverage a cloud-native
and modern IGA architecture. After a quick start, Perseus IAM will continue to provide a real-
time approach to ensuring digital identity, system, application, and device data accuracy and
quality. This quick start allows your organization to take a systematic and up-to-date approach
to addressing significant data accuracy and quality issues. Perseus IAM enables your
organization to realize the value of your IGA infrastructure in a fast and cost-effective manner,
all while optimizing your existing investments in IGA platforms and in-house technology. Here
are a few key capabilities Perseus IAM will introduce into your organization and IGA program as
part of this service offering:
• Configuration-driven, real-time, and dynamic data filtering
• Configuration-driven data normalization
• Configuration-driven data inclusion/exclusion policies
• Dynamic JSON-based data model that scales across various types of digital identity,
application, infrastructure, and device data
• Real-time views into data quality, errors, and policies
• Real-time alerts when data is not of sufficient quality
• Real-time data transformations based on policies derived from Lua scripting
• Distributed IAM microservices-based architecture that leverages containerization for fast
deployment of any updates to IGA capabilities
• Bridge between on-premise IGA systems, cloud applications, and cloud infrastructures
(e.g., Workday, ServiceNow, Azure, Google Compute Platform, and AWS EC2)
• Bridge between IGA platforms, cloud-native real-time cybersecurity alerting, and threat
response systems (e.g., SIEM)

Post-Data Cleansing Quick Start
This diagram describes the end state once the quick start has been completed and the team
moves beyond the creation of automated data cleansing pipelines. Phase II is an
implementation quick start that allows you to integrate two major applications and/or systems
into this automated process flow.
High-level processes are as follows:
1. Connect two IGA data sources to the automated Perseus IAM data cleansing pipelines
that were configured as part of this quick start.
2. Run Perseus IAM automated data cleansing pipelines.
3. Send cleansed data to IGA platform.
4. Perform a series of test campaigns to prepare business management, application
owners, and the IT security team for the real automated certification campaigns.
5. Record campaign results and review them with business management, auditors,
application and system owners, and IT security.
6. Configure additional Perseus IAM components to easily add or remove new applications
and systems to the automated IGA framework and platform.

About Perseus IAM
Perseus IAM allows you to abstract the collection, correlation, transformation, and normalization
of complex digital identity and platform data to establish a dynamic and configuration-driven
superset IAM metadata model that is applicable to your business. This high-performing IAM
microservices platform is integrated into your existing IAM, IGA, and cybersecurity platforms,
directories, and databases in real time. Consult with Good Dog Labs for details about Perseus
IAM, which you can use as the platform for accelerating implementation of your IAM
