Focus

Large consultancies treat IAM as just one topic among many. Since it was founded in 2020, WertFels has worked on IAM alone, without detours into other IT disciplines. That depth shows in every project we deliver, not merely in the breadth of a portfolio.

Non‑human identities

In many organizations, service accounts and technical users are seen as a solved problem. Banks are now asking about AI agents and non‑human identities. WertFels works with clients to define the policies for handling AI models and AI agents securely.

Regulatory depth

DORA, MaRisk, NIS2, KRITIS, PSD2, ISO 27001, TISAX and ISO/SAE 21434 all shape the way IAM is set up and run in regulated industries. WertFels brings these frameworks into every project right from day one, not only once internal audit signs off.

Selected projects

Our case studies show real implementations: around 2,500 applications onboarded to SailPoint IdentityIQ, a customer IAM system replaced by Keycloak after more than 20 years, and 3,200 privileged accounts secured at a German financial services group.

When was WertFels founded?

How is WertFels set up?

Why does WertFels work vendor-neutrally?

Because our clients’ requirements matter more than partner awards or tools that happen to be in fashion. For Identity and Access Management we use SailPoint IdentityIQ, One Identity Manager and Omada Identity Suite, among others, and CyberArk for privileged access management. What matters is which platform fits the existing environment and the client’s requirements.

Facts and figures

10,000+

Applications successfully connected and integrated into central IGA systems, across all of the major established vendors.

WertFels finds the right bridge between each individual application and the IGA solution. For this, we use our own purpose-built Application Onboarding Engine.

20+

Years of personal IAM experience on the management board, from projects at banks, insurers and other regulated organizations.

500+

Defined and automated IAM processes, including joiner, mover and leaver (JML), the recertification of user accounts and role composition, as well as privileged identity and access management (PIM and PAM).

Most consultancies stop at JML. For WertFels, however, that is only the beginning of more than 85 possible IAM processes.

4.5 million

Managed IAM objects, including user accounts, identities, roles and entitlements, across all connected systems.

The growing number of objects remains manageable, without any loss of performance or overview. WertFels ensures clear structures from the very start and avoids costly mistakes caused by later corrections.
