Initial Situation: Manual and Time-Consuming Processes
Before implementing the Identity Manager, access rights at KGAL were managed manually – a time-consuming and error-prone process. Using Excel spreadsheets and ticketing systems required constant coordination, made regular access reviews cumbersome, and complicated compliance management. To minimize these risks and streamline operations, KGAL sought a professional Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution that would combine efficiency, security, and control.
Implementation: Automation with the Garancy Identity Manager
After a thorough evaluation of multiple vendors, KGAL selected the Garancy Identity Manager from Beta Systems in 2022. The solution has been in productive use since July 2023 and seamlessly integrates all relevant systems via uConnect technology.

As a mid-sized company, we value working with a technology partner at eye level – with dedicated contact persons who respond quickly to our requests. Of course, the software also must be excellent and match our requirements.
With the new system, employee onboarding, offboarding, and departmental transfers are now automated, significantly reducing administrative effort and enhancing security. Regular recertifications of access rights are managed efficiently and transparently through the Garancy Recertification Center.
Through the Recertification Center, we can monitor progress much more effectively, review each employee’s permissions directly in the system, and ensure up-to-date access at all times.
A key element of the project was the introduction of a well-structured role model. It distinguishes between base, organizational, functional, and specialist roles, ensuring access rights are assigned precisely and transparently. For example, external service providers, such as auditors or tax consultants, also receive tailored access rights according to their tasks precisely when they need them.
Conclusion: IAM as the Cornerstone of Secure and Compliant IT
By implementing the Garancy Identity Manager, KGAL has established a centralized, transparent, and automated access rights management system. The result: reduced workload, improved security, and stronger compliance.
