IAM and PAM rollout readiness checklist

Before rollout

Set scope, controls and ownership early.

• Confirm the application scope, user populations and access model.
• Define approval paths, segregation requirements and exception handling.
• Align controls and evidence requirements with audit or compliance expectations.
• Agree operational ownership after launch.

During delivery

Keep risk visibility high during delivery.

• Track access risks, integration blockers and policy decisions visibly.
• Coordinate application owners, security teams and delivery leads closely.
• Validate reporting, logging and evidence generation early.

Before handover

Transfer the operating model, not just the platform.

Make sure the target team inherits support procedures, runbooks, escalation routes and usable control evidence.
