Executives overseeing Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions of enterprise information systems have to manage problematic issues at business, technology and governance levels and their related trade-offs. They are required to make informed investment decisions about technology in a complex, ever changing world. The IAM assurance dashboard model proposed by this research provides a comprehensive view of identity and access management components at an executive level. By revealing the current status of the IAM environment within an enterprise, strategic identity and access decisions are possible based on compliance with IAM requirements. The IAM assurance dashboard model gives the current state of an enterprise’s IAM status, based on evaluation criteria such as hot spots, maturity, technology gaps and compliance. The SABSA model supports the design of the IAM assurance dashboard which is business requirements driven, to address the needs of executives.
