The Identity Managers

What The Identity Managers does

The Identity Managers is a privately held Dutch Identity and Access Management (IAM) specialist founded in 2016 and headquartered in Amersfoort, Netherlands. The firm delivers advisory, implementation, and managed services across the full IAM stack, covering Identity Governance and Administration (IGA), Access Management, Privileged Access Management (PAM), and Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM), alongside a vendor-agnostic IAM Quickscan assessment methodology. It operates as a Platinum Advanced+ partner of One Identity, deploying One Identity Manager, Safeguard, Active Roles, and OneLogin, with additional delivery capability on Okta for cloud-native Access Management and CIAM, and Axiomatics for fine-grained authorization.

The company's service portfolio is built on professional services engagements (consultancy and implementation) and recurring managed services contracts staffed by specialists at multiple seniority levels. Its go-to-market targets large enterprises and regulated organizations across the Benelux (Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg), with a stated focus on government bodies, educational institutions, financial institutions, and commercial organizations that must comply with strict Dutch and EU legislation. Named reference customers include CZ (health insurance), Rabobank (banking), Athora Netherlands (insurance), and Jumbo Supermarkten (retail), all engaged in multi-year IAM programs including 24/7 monitoring and support. Marketing is driven by thought-leadership content, the Quickscan lead-generation tool, and direct enterprise sales; pricing is not publicly disclosed.

The firm has grown organically to approximately 30 employees within five years of operation, with a stated target to reach 50 employees while preserving a small-team culture. It is founder-owned and bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, and in 2025 was named One Identity's Regional Partner of the Year for Benelux. The competitive positioning emphasizes a practical approach that combines organizational advisory with hands-on technical implementation, and the principle that the firm does not advise on what it cannot implement nor implement what it cannot advise on.
