ITEP0653 Identity and Access Modernisation Programme

The current system for managing user identities and permissions within National Highways needs improvement and to take advantage of more automation.

Considering the increasing cyber-security threats and the criticality of ensuring secured access to National Highways systems and data is maintained, National Highways has initiated an improvement programme to implement new Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) and Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions in order to enhance the security of its information assets.

By achieving the programme objectives, National Highways will significantly enhance its security posture; ensuring continued compliance with NIS regulations, mitigating insider threats and strengthening its incident response capabilities.

National Highways does not have the internal skills to deliver this, so the delivery of this programme will not only protect sensitive data and Critical Services but also foster a culture of security across the organisation, safeguarding long-term success and reputation, while improving user experience and ways of working both internally and with our supply chain across all Directorates.

In light of the above, the IGA and PAM projects are operating within the IAM programme as part of the Cyber Security Improvement Portfolio (CSIP).
