Development of a Secure Internal Identity and Access Management System for Engineering Enterprises

The client faces operational inefficiencies in managing permissions and secure access across their internal systems, with complexities in edge case handling, dependency management in their Python-based components, and lengthy permission review processes, impacting overall productivity and system stability.

A large engineering and technology firm with a global presence, specializing in complex systems across multiple industries, seeking to optimize internal permission management and security workflows.

• Reduce permission review cycle time from 7 months to approximately 3 months through full resolution of complex permission edge cases.
• Improve code quality and system stability by restructuring and optimizing the existing codebase.
• Enhance dependency management to minimize conflicts and risks during system updates.
• Implement comprehensive testing frameworks to ensure reliability and continuous quality assurance.
• Streamline permission review workflows to support scalable and maintainable operations.

• Modular and organized code structure for ease of maintenance and scalability
• Ability to add and manage new system functionalities as operational needs evolve
• Integration of a reliable testing framework with automated test case creation to ensure continuous quality
• Enhanced dependency management mechanisms for Python components to reduce conflicts and update risks
• Mechanisms for identifying, resolving, and streamlining complex permission edge cases
• Secure access controls with audit logging to ensure permissions are managed securely

• Existing internal permission databases
• Authentication/Authorization systems (e.g., LDAP, Active Directory)
• Monitoring and logging tools for audit trails
• Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines

• High performance: rapid permission reviews reducing cycle from months to months
• Scalability to accommodate growing user base and permissions
• Robust security features to safeguard sensitive access data
• Reliability with automated testing and fault tolerance
• Maintainability through clear, structured, and well-documented code

The project aims to significantly improve operational efficiency by reducing permission review times from 7 months to approximately 3 months, enhance system stability and code quality through structural improvements and dependency management, and establish a sustainable, scalable permission management framework. These enhancements will provide the client with a more secure and agile internal access management process, supporting ongoing digital transformation and long-term productivity gains.
