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.

How It Works

Four steps. Eight weeks. Done.

We keep the process short so you get results fast.

01

Map.

We audit your apps, users, and current authentication. Weeks 1 to 2.

02

Connect.

SSO integration, MFA rollout, HR sync. App by app, no disruption. Weeks 2 to 6.

03

Lock down.

Conditional access, admin boundaries, offboarding automation. Weeks 6 to 8.

04

Maintain.

Ongoing access reviews, policy updates, and licence management. Continuous.

In Practice

What this actually looks like.

01
Provisioning

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.

02
Offboarding

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.

03
Compliance

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.

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

04

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.

FAQ

IAM Questions

Quick answers to the things people ask most about identity and access management.

What do we need to provide before starting?

Three things: admin access to your identity provider and key apps, a decision owner (IT lead or similar) for approvals, and a list of your core applications with any compliance deadlines. We handle the rest.

How long does a typical IAM rollout take?

Most implementations take 4 to 8 weeks depending on the number of applications and complexity. We start with your most critical apps and expand from there.

Do we need to replace our existing identity provider?

Usually not. We work with what you have: Okta, Entra ID (Azure AD), Google Workspace, or others. If a migration makes sense, we will tell you why.

What happens when someone leaves the company?

With proper lifecycle automation, access is revoked automatically when HR updates their system. No manual chasing, no orphaned accounts.

Will this help us pass security audits?

Yes. We deliver the controls and evidence documentation that auditors look for: access policies, admin registers, JML runbooks, and architecture diagrams.

Can you integrate with our HR system?

In most cases, yes. We connect identity provisioning to your HR system so joiners, movers, and leavers are handled automatically. If your current HR system does not support integrations, we can deploy HiBob for you.

How do I know which pricing model is right for me?

We work it out with you. Discovery is always included, so we scope your needs before quoting. If you have clear requirements, fixed project pricing works best. For complex or fast-changing environments, we recommend project plus managed.

Will this disrupt our employees during rollout?

No. We deploy incrementally, app by app, with clear comms before each change. Most users notice nothing except fewer password prompts.

How much does IAM implementation cost?

IAM projects typically range from £4,999 to £7,999 depending on scope. A basic SSO and MFA rollout for a 50-person company starts around £4,999. Full identity lifecycle automation with HR integration, conditional access, and compliance documentation is closer to £7,999. All projects include discovery, so we scope your environment before quoting.
