Enterprise IAM consulting (remote-first)

Stabilize federation. Automate provisioning. Keep production calm.

ByteWave Automation helps organizations with complex identity ecosystems design, stabilize, and modernize SSO and lifecycle automation—especially where SAML federation, attribute governance, and ETL-driven provisioning intersect.

Focus: Shibboleth / SAML
Automation: ETL / provisioning
Approach: vendor-agnostic
Outcome: repeatable SOPs

Who I help

Organizations where identity isn’t a single system—it’s an ecosystem that has to work consistently across teams and vendors.

Higher Education

  • SSO for enrollment, learning platforms, and student systems
  • Federation troubleshooting without downtime
  • Attribute release governance that won’t surprise stakeholders

Public Sector

  • Process-driven change control and auditability
  • Identity lifecycle automation and approvals
  • Clear SOPs for long-term supportability

Enterprise IAM Teams

  • Migrations off legacy IAM stacks
  • Stabilization of “it used to work” SSO flows
  • ETL cleanup where identity data is fragmented

Services

Practical deliverables: working configurations, validated flows, and documentation your team can maintain.

Federation & SSO

  • Shibboleth IdP design, remediation, and upgrades
  • SAML metadata strategy and relying-party hygiene
  • Encryption/signing alignment and validation
  • End-to-end SSO debugging (IdP ↔ SP)

Attribute Governance

  • Release policy design (least privilege without breakage)
  • Attribute mapping: names, formats, and expectations
  • Normalization for email/name changes and identifiers
  • Auditable decisions and stakeholder-ready summaries

Provisioning & Automation

  • Lifecycle workflows: joiner/mover/leaver
  • ETL pipeline improvement (SQL → IAM)
  • RBAC and entitlement cleanup
  • Repeatable automation with clear rollback paths

Migration & Stabilization

  • Migration planning and execution support
  • Cutover strategy and phased rollout validation
  • Incident response for broken SSO flows
  • Post-migration hardening and documentation

Documentation & SOPs

  • Runbooks, validation checklists, and support guides
  • Operational guardrails and best-practice workflows
  • Configuration hygiene and change tracking
  • Training for internal admins and engineers

Engagement model

Simple, professional, and measurable. You’ll know what’s changing, why, and how to validate it.

1
Intake & scope

Define the target applications, success criteria, constraints, and stakeholders. Confirm what “good” looks like.

2
Analysis & plan

Review configs, logs, metadata, and current flows. Produce a short, clear plan with validation steps and rollback options.

3
Implement & validate

Execute changes with disciplined testing. Validate via browser traces, IdP/SP logs, and stakeholder sign-off.

4
Handoff

Deliver updated documentation, runbooks, and a clean summary suitable for non-technical stakeholders.
