Idenhaus Consulting

What Idenhaus Consulting does

Idenhaus Consulting is a privately held, founder-owned identity management and cybersecurity consulting firm headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. Founded in 2014-2015 by CEO Hanno Ekdahl, the firm operates as a boutique professional services practice focused on identity and access management (IAM) strategy, implementation, and governance, alongside cybersecurity compliance programs including CMMC, FedRAMP, NIST, HIPAA, HITRUST, PCI DSS, and CJIS. Idenhaus does not develop proprietary software products; instead it implements and operationalizes third-party IAM and privileged access management (PAM) platforms from vendors including Microsoft, CyberArk, Delinea, BeyondTrust, and MicroFocus/OpenText. Engagements typically begin with a one-to-two-week identity assessment that maps current state against compliance requirements and produces a prioritized remediation roadmap, followed by strategy, architecture, hands-on implementation, and access governance services.

The firm's client base is concentrated in regulated verticals: defense contractors pursuing CMMC certification, healthcare systems subject to HIPAA, financial services firms, higher education institutions, and aerospace and aviation organizations. Idenhaus secured official CMMC Registered Practitioner Organization (RPO) status on March 24, 2026, formally authorizing it to advise defense contractors on CMMC readiness. Distribution is entirely direct: senior practitioners engage enterprise prospects via the company website and Calendly, with no channel partners, resellers, or self-service motion. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Revenue derives solely from professional services fees on a project-and-engagement basis.

The firm has been recognized as an Inc. 5000 company and a Best of Georgia regional winner for four consecutive years (2022-2025). Marketing is content-led, with an active blog, monthly IAM Security Bulletin, biweekly newsletters, webinars (including co-marketing with MicroFocus/OpenText), a free eBook lead magnet, conference participation at Identiverse, Gartner IAM Summit, and EDUCAUSE, and CEO podcast appearances. Operating geography is the Southeast USA, with no disclosed international footprint. Ownership remains entirely with the founder; the firm is bootstrapped with no disclosed venture capital, private equity investment, or acquisition activity.
