TL;DR: Sri Lankan organisations are modernising across cloud, SaaS, automation, and digital services while identity sprawl, unsanctioned applications, and non-human identities complicate governance, visibility, and compliance, according to Saviynt. The real issue is not distribution, but whether identity controls can keep pace with a widening trust boundary across human and machine access.
NHIMG editorial — what this means for NHI practitioners
Questions worth separating out
Q: How should IAM teams govern human and non-human identities in the same programme?
A: Start with one inventory, one ownership model, and one review standard for all identities that can access systems or data.
Q: Why do cloud, SaaS, and automation make identity governance harder?
A: They increase the number of identities, the frequency of access change, and the number of places where entitlement drift can occur.
Q: What breaks when service accounts and applications are left outside governance reviews?
A: You lose accountability, lifecycle control, and visibility into standing access.
Practitioner guidance
- Map all identity classes into one governance model Inventory human users, contractors, service accounts, applications, and other non-human identities in the same control framework so ownership, lifecycle status, and review cadence are explicit.
- Unify privileged access and identity governance reviews Use one entitlement review process for high-risk access paths so PAM, IGA, and machine identity oversight do not produce conflicting decisions about the same account or workload.
- Prioritise identity discovery before Zero Trust expansion Classify applications, API-driven accounts, and unsanctioned identities before extending policy enforcement so the programme can verify what it cannot yet control.
