Elizabeth Ibegbulam

I specialise in Identity and Access Management, ensuring the right people have the right access at the right time across complex enterprise environments. My work focuses on securing digital identities, improving access workflows, and strengthening governance through clear processes, evidence‑based analysis, and effective stakeholder collaboration.

I manage end‑to‑end user access operations, including joiner–mover–leaver processes, access provisioning, RBAC reviews, privileged access oversight, and audit support. I work confidently with platforms such as Active Directory, Azure AD, SailPoint, CyberArk, ServiceNow, and other enterprise IAM tools.

With a background in research and systems analysis, I bring a structured, investigative approach to problem‑solving. I am skilled at mapping processes, identifying control gaps, and translating technical issues into actionable improvements that enhance security, compliance, and user experience. I thrive in environments where accuracy, communication, and service quality matter.

I have built a strong career in Identity and Access Management, specialising in governing identity lifecycles, access controls, and privileged access across large, regulated organisations. My experience spans financial services, insurance, energy, and legal environments, giving me a deep understanding of compliance expectations, data‑handling requirements, and enterprise‑scale IAM operations.

My most recent work at National Grid demonstrates advanced capability in JML lifecycle execution, RBAC hygiene, access governance, and audit‑ready documentation. I supported SailPoint onboarding through detailed application analysis and access‑model mapping, while also troubleshooting access issues across CyberArk, Active Directory, Azure AD, and application‑level tools. I contributed to process optimisation, governance reporting, and cross‑team collaboration with Cyber Security and Compliance.

Before this, I strengthened my IAM foundation at Chubb Insurance, managing user access, resolving OIM workflow issues, producing lifecycle documentation, and supporting audit readiness. I gained hands‑on experience with entitlement changes, onboarding processes, and regulated‑data controls.

My earlier roles in project support, service delivery, and SOX security analysis provided a strong grounding in documentation, stakeholder engagement, incident management, and evidence‑based reporting. I supported major upgrades, coordinated recertification cycles, and maintained compliance artefacts across high‑stakes environments.

Across all roles, I combine technical IAM expertise with analytical thinking, clear communication, and a governance‑focused mindset. I excel at mapping workflows, identifying control gaps, and improving identity processes to enhance security, compliance, and user experience.
