Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM)

Makpar is an award-winning ICAM service innovator. Our ICAM programs help safeguard the personal information of 20 million+ Americans. As increasingly more transactions take place online, the ability to make things easier increases – along with the opportunity for abuse. Protecting sensitive data and the people attached to it is of the upmost importance to every government agency today. As leaders in this field, we know the value of protecting data before the attacks happen.

Proven Experience & Expertise

Makpar excels in ICAM project leadership and sustained delivery of complex implementations of enterprise-wide solutions, delivering value and measurable results in the areas of cybersecurity, infrastructure transformation, and enterprise lifecycle support.

Since September 2009, for example, Makpar has been engaged on both high-value and pilot projects at a major Federal government agency. Our work supports a common security framework to identity-proof and register individual identities and provide credentials for electronic access to multiple systems, applications, and data repositories. This application is currently the largest ICAM program in the Federal government supporting 23 million users, and will eventually scale to enable more than 120 million users to conveniently use a single identification credential.

This comprehensive system, shared across the agency’s applications, provides efficiency, savings, and time-saving benefits to the public.

“We have been immensely impressed how Makpar steps up to new challenges. They established a leading-edge test automation framework with stellar results. This enabled us to create an Independent Verification and Validation suite as part of our quality improvement processes.”

Leaders in ICAM

Makpar is a leader in all facets of ICAM. At a major federal agency, we have developed a citizen-facing user verification system that has enabled access for secure online services in line with Congressional mandates. We have also implemented employee and contractor verification, authorization, and access services supporting implementation of Continuous Diagnostic and Mitigation initiative.

 

Custom innovative solutions to meet your needs

 

We guide agencies to meet Federal directives such as HSPD-12 to ensure secure, reliable forms of identification and Personal Identity Verification (PIV) credentials across the government. Makpar develops innovative solutions and provides hands-on experience and leadership in all five conceptual ICAM practice areas the Federal government has defined: Identity Management, Credential Management, Access Management, Federation, and Governance.

Not only do we understand all the components of ICAM and how to update an enterprisewide system to move to this new level of cybersecurity infrastructure, we're able to update the customized software components to become compliant with modernization requirements.
