Introduction
Tech{Camps} – Governance is a virtual workshop offering IT and security professionals practical experience with identity governance and administration. The session addresses a persistent challenge in enterprise environments: maintaining secure, efficient identity management as organisations grow. With regulatory scrutiny intensifying and hybrid workforces expanding access requirements, IGA has become a critical discipline for balancing security controls with operational agility.
About This Event
Scheduled for 27 August 2026, this interactive lab runs for approximately two and a half hours with sessions timed for participants in British Summer Time, Singapore Time and Indian Standard Time. The virtual format enables professionals across regions to engage with IGA concepts through guided exercises rather than passive instruction.
The workshop takes a practical approach to identity governance, moving beyond theoretical frameworks to demonstrate how IGA principles translate into working configurations and processes.
Core Topics: From Least Privilege to Access Certification
The session covers four interconnected areas of identity governance. Least-privilege access enforcement forms the foundation, addressing how organisations can ensure users hold only the permissions necessary for their roles. This principle, while straightforward in concept, becomes increasingly difficult to implement as user populations grow and application portfolios expand.
Participants will also explore automated IAM approval workflows, examining how to reduce manual bottlenecks in access request processes while maintaining appropriate oversight. Poorly designed approval chains often create delays that frustrate users and encourage workarounds, undermining the governance controls they were meant to support.
The workshop addresses end-user experience considerations, recognising that governance tools must be intuitive if they are to achieve widespread adoption. Security controls that impede productivity tend to generate resistance, leading to shadow IT and ungoverned access patterns.
Finally, the session covers access certification campaigns, the periodic reviews that help organisations verify whether existing access rights remain appropriate. These campaigns are essential for compliance with frameworks such as SOX, GDPR and industry-specific regulations, yet they often become burdensome exercises when not properly streamlined.
Why IGA Matters Now
Identity governance has moved from a back-office concern to a board-level priority. The proliferation of cloud applications, remote work arrangements and third-party integrations has dramatically increased the number of identities and entitlements that organisations must manage. Traditional manual approaches struggle to keep pace, creating security gaps where excessive permissions accumulate and orphaned accounts persist.
Regulatory requirements continue to tighten, with auditors expecting demonstrable evidence that access rights are reviewed regularly and that privileged access is tightly controlled. Organisations that lack mature IGA capabilities face both compliance risks and operational inefficiencies.
Who Should Attend
This workshop is designed for professionals working in IT operations, information security and governance, risk and compliance functions. Those responsible for managing identity lifecycles, configuring access controls or preparing for compliance audits will find the hands-on format particularly relevant. The session suits practitioners seeking to modernise existing IAM workflows or implement more rigorous governance controls.
