A national ICT regulator in East Africa secures staff and system access with SecurePass

Government Identity and Access Management Africa
Case Study

Client Overview

1 identity

per employee, across every system

1 sign-in

to every permitted application

All systems

behind strong authentication

Audit-ready

proof of who can access what

The customer is the national regulator for telecommunications, broadcasting and postal services in its East African market. It oversees licensing, spectrum and cybersecurity for the sector, and is expected to model strong security itself. It chose SecurePass to modernise identity and access management (IDAM) for its staff and systems.

The Challenge

A regulator that sets cybersecurity expectations for an entire sector needs its own access controls to be beyond question.

Scattered identities

Staff accounts were managed separately in each system, so joiners, movers and leavers took manual effort.

Password-only access

Sensitive licensing and regulatory systems relied on passwords, a common target for phishing.

Audit and oversight

The regulator needed a clear record of who has access to what, and why.

The goal
Central, governed identity and strong authentication for every staff member and system.

The Solution

eMudhra deployed several SecurePass IAM modules, integrated them with the regulator's systems and trained its teams.

Central identity

One identity store and lifecycle process for every staff member and system account.

Single sign-on

Staff sign in once to reach the applications their role allows.

Multi-factor authentication

Strong authentication options, from push and OTP to PKI and FIDO2, protect sensitive systems.

Access governance

Role-based access, reviews and audit logs give a clear view of who can access what.
