The world-class, multi-disciplinary team will cooperate on the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of forefront methods, processes, and technology for identity and access management (IAM), a high priority today for both public and private organizations. The centre brings together OKIOK consultants from all areas of IAM, information security researchers from the École Polytechnique de Montréal, and leading global providers of technology solutions, who have already shown their interest in taking part in the CIEIAM.

Specifically aimed at helping executives, managers and administrators of large corporations and financial institutions, IAM is one of the most crucial steps that is left to complete for those organizations who need to ensure they have the security, compliance and sound governance in place to protect their sensitive information and that of their clients and partners. IAM is a collection of standards, methodologies and processes critical for national and multinational firms in achieving the increasingly stringent regulatory requirements protecting investors, i.e. SOX in the United States and Bill C-198 in Canada.
