What Entra ID Governance does
Entra ID Governance builds upon the foundation of Microsoft Entra ID P2, providing advanced capabilities for managing user access and entitlements. Key features include lifecycle workflows for automating user onboarding and offboarding, verifiable credentials for secure access requests, and machine learning-driven recommendations for access reviews. It enables organisations to move beyond simple access reviews towards a more proactive and automated approach to identity governance.
Entra ID Governance in Australian tenants today
For AU mid-market organisations, particularly those regulated by APRA under CPS 234, Entra ID Governance offers a pathway to demonstrate compliance with paragraph 17’s access review evidence requirements. While it can be a cost-effective alternative to building a bespoke Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) solution using vendors like SailPoint or Saviynt, a thorough assessment of existing Microsoft investments and required functionality is essential. Consider the complexity of integrating with on-premise systems and the skillsets required for ongoing management.
