TL;DR: Identity and access challenges are the focus of Imprivata Connect, positioning access governance as the shared problem across enterprise, privileged, and healthcare workflows, according to Imprivata. The practical takeaway is that teams need to evaluate identity lifecycle, access policy, and privileged access together rather than as separate programmes.
Editorial analysis by NHI Mgmt Group, based on content published by Imprivata: “The next generation of Imprivata Enterprise Access Management”.
Key questions
Q: How should teams govern identity lifecycle and privileged access together?
A: Treat lifecycle management and privileged access as one governance problem.
Q: Why does separation of duties matter for IAM and PAM programmes?
A: Because IAM and PAM are the controls that decide who can act, who can approve, and who can certify the result.
Practitioner guidance
- Align identity lifecycle and access policy Map joiner-mover-leaver, access review, and revocation processes to the same identity inventory so lifecycle decisions and policy enforcement are not handled in separate queues.
- Unify privileged and non-privileged review cycles Review whether privileged access, standard user access, and vendor access are certified on different cadences and bring them into one governance calendar where the business risk overlaps.
- Document emergency and exception access paths Define how time-bound elevated access is approved, monitored, and removed when normal workflow controls cannot meet clinical or operational urgency.
Bottom line: Imprivata Connect is being used to frame access governance as a cross-programme issue that spans enterprise, privileged, and healthcare workflows.

Identity governance pressure is now a programme design problem, not a tool-selection problem. Imprivata Connect reflects a broader market reality: teams are no longer being asked to solve access in one lane at a time. Enterprise access, privileged access, and workflow-specific access now overlap operationally, so lifecycle controls and policy decisions must be governed together. The practitioner conclusion is that fragmented ownership creates fragmented enforcement.
A question worth separating out:
Q: Which frameworks matter most for converged access governance?
A: NIST CSF, NIST SP 800-53, and ISO 27001 all support governance over access permissions, but the practical focus should be on whether identity lifecycle and privileged access are controlled as one operating model. If they are not, the framework mapping is less important than closing the ownership and review gap.
