Provide strategic recommendations that integrate with the broader enterprise security strategy.
Future-State Design:
Produce a High-Level Design (HLD) for the future-state IAM architecture, ensuring scalability and security in a hybrid operating model (Azure + on-premises data centers).
Define processes, workflows, and governance for the IAM setup.
Roadmap Development:
Create an implementation and delivery roadmap focused on achieving the future-state architecture.
Provide actionable steps for transitioning from the current state to the future state, including timelines and milestones.
