What do Okta consulting services cover in the UK, and how long does a rollout take?
Okta consulting covers discovery of every app and directory, SSO and MFA on the applications that matter, conditional access policies, then joiners, movers and leavers wired to your HR system. A UK rollout typically runs 4 to 8 weeks and ends with one place to grant and revoke access, plus evidence an auditor accepts.

Passwords shared in Slack DMs.
One login. SSO everywhere.
MFA optional. Half the team skipped it.

IAM is the foundation. Here's what it unlocks.
Once identity is locked down, device compliance, licence savings, and faster support all follow. These are the services IAM connects to.
Device Management
Identity gates device accessEnforce compliance checks before any device touches company data. Zero-touch deploys tied to identity.
ExploreSaaS & Licensing
Identity reveals licence wasteSSO data shows who actually uses what. Cut unused seats and stop shadow IT at the source.
ExploreManaged IT & Retained Engineering
Who owns it afterwardsOnce identity is automated, the same engineers keep running it: access changes, reviews and joiner and leaver flows, without a ticket desk in between.

In Practice
What this actually looks like.
New starter opens the lid. Everything works.
HR flags a new joiner. Before they arrive, their laptop is configured, apps are assigned, and access is scoped to their role. They sign in once. SSO handles the rest. No tickets, no waiting, no chasing IT.
Someone leaves. Access gone in minutes.
HR updates the system. Every account locks automatically. Email forwarding, device wipe, licence recovery. All handled. No orphaned accounts, no security gaps, no manual checklist.
Auditor calls. You are already ready.
Access policies, admin registers, MFA reports, and architecture diagrams. All documented and exportable. When the auditor asks, you send a link. Not a spreadsheet you built at 2am.

No Caveats
The honest answer to every concern.
Do we need to replace our identity provider?
Usually not. We work with what you have: Okta, Entra ID, Google Workspace, or others. If a migration makes sense, we will tell you why and handle it end to end.
Will this disrupt our team?
No. We deploy incrementally, app by app, with clear comms before each change. Most users notice nothing except fewer password prompts.
What about legacy apps that do not support SSO?
We audit everything first. Apps that support SAML or OIDC get proper SSO. Apps that do not get password vaulting through 1Password or controlled workarounds. Nothing gets left behind.
Does MFA slow people down?
Not even slightly. Okta FastPass is biometric and on-device. Passkeys and device trust mean users authenticate once and stay signed in across apps. We design for minimal friction.
