Understanding identity and access management (IAM)

Identity and access management (IAM) helps organizations control how users access systems, applications, and sensitive data. It combines authentication, provisioning, and access policies to reduce security risks, support compliance efforts, and make access management more efficient across your organization.

A diagram demonstrating identity and access management functionality. It shows two users/teams logging in with different authentication methods—biometrics for User/Team 1 and multi-factor authentication (MFA) for User/Team 2. Each user/team is granted access to specific files or items in a system, as represented by labeled boxes (Item 1 through Item 12). Access paths, marked by arrows, illustrate how users can only access assigned files, ensuring strict access control.

Securing access beyond SSO

Secure the credentials your identity provider can’t fully manage – — from shared accounts to API keys and off-directory access.

Why credential sprawl still happens

IAM helps ensure that users have access to the tools and data they need – and nothing more. But in reality, most organizations rely on a mix of SSO-connected apps, legacy systems, shared accounts, and developer credentials spread across teams and tools. That leaves security gaps and credential sprawl that even strong IAM programs may have difficulty addressing alone.

Add an extra layer of security to your IAM strategy

IAM and PAM solutions play a critical role in access control, authentication, and privileged session management. But they are not designed to secure every password, passkey, API key, and shared credential used across your organization. NordPass provides secure storage, sharing, management, and auditing of credentials that often fall outside core IAM coverage, helping teams work more securely.

The hidden access risks SSO can’t cover

Non-federated apps and services

Many SaaS tools, social media accounts, and web services do not integrate with your SSO. As a result, employees often manage credentials on their own, which increases the risk of weak or reused passwords.

Shared account management

Shared accounts used across teams are difficult to manage securely. When credentials are shared via spreadsheets, chats, or documents, it becomes harder to manage access and maintain accountability.

Developer credential sprawl

SSH keys, API tokens, and database credentials are often stored in config files, notes, or scattered across various tools. Without secure management, these files become harder to control and easier to expose.

Fill every gap with granular credential control

Create user groups or Shared Folders that reflect your organizational structure, then assign shared credentials by role. This helps enforce least-privilege access across non-SSO apps, social accounts, and web services.

Role-based access control for shared credentials and team permissions

Why choose NordPass?

NordPass helps secure the credentials your IAM strategy does not fully cover – from non-SSO apps and shared accounts to API keys and other sensitive credentials. It gives your teams a simpler, more secure way to store, share, and manage access without adding unnecessary friction.
