Identity and Access Management (IAM) is critical for securing sensitive information, applications, and resources within a modern organization. A good build process is important because it ensures that the system is implemented correctly, adheres to the design, completes within budget and time. Additionally, here are some reasons why a good IAM build process is important:

1.    Security: A good IAM build process helps to ensure that the IAM system is implemented with security as a top priority. It ensures that the system is configured to enforce strong authentication and authorization policies, protect against threats such as identity theft and unauthorized access, and comply with regulatory requirements.

2.    Compliance: A good IAM build process helps organizations meet regulatory and compliance requirements such as GDPR, HIPAA, and SOX. It ensures that the IAM system is designed to store and manage user data securely and that access to sensitive information is appropriately controlled and audited.

3.    Efficiency: A good IAM build process ensures that the IAM system is designed to operate efficiently, with optimal performance and minimal downtime. It ensures that the system is configured with the right hardware and software, uses efficient workflows and processes, and is scalable to meet future needs.

4.    User Experience: A good IAM build process ensures that the IAM system is designed to provide a good user experience. It ensures that the system is easy to use, supports self-service, and provides users with access to the resources they need without unnecessary delays or obstacles.

5.    Business Enablement: A good IAM build process helps organizations enable their business processes by providing secure access to the right resources at the right time. It helps ensure that employees, partners, and customers can access the resources they need to do their jobs and conduct business, while also reducing the risk of data breaches and security incidents.
