How We Engage
From Decisions to Day-to-Day Operation
We work with IAM teams in three engagement modes. Each supports a different phase of a live program.
Advisory
Decisions, tradeoffs, and program direction.
Implementation
Custom engineering to make platforms work.
Operation
Turning deployed tools into program drivers.
Who leads the work
Founder-led delivery with real accountability
Palyrian is led by engineers who have delivered and operated identity programs in complex enterprise environments.
Leadership remains directly involved in client work so decisions are grounded in real constraints and accountable to outcomes.
Decide
Advisory
Strategic guidance for teams navigating program direction, vendor decisions, and governance design. We help clarify priorities, evaluate tradeoffs, and define the path forward.
Build
Implementation
Hands-on engineering to configure, extend, and connect identity platforms. We build the integrations, write the custom logic, and ship the work that turns a defined roadmap into a working system.
Run
Operation
Instant ROI with newly deployed products within your stack. We hit the ground running to handle day-to-day operations, tune policies, and drive measurable progress over time.

When we are a good fit
We work best with teams operating real identity programs
A delivery model built for ownership, clarity, and progress under real enterprise constraints.
- You already run an identity program and need it to hold up over time.
- You operate in complex or regulated environments with real constraints.
- You want senior identity engineers, not a leveraged delivery model.
- You value clear ownership and decision paths across security, IT, and the business.
- You want progress that is safe, sustainable, and can be carried forward.
- You are looking for staff augmentation or headcount to fill seats.
- You need L1 or L2 help desk support, including ticket triage, request fulfillment, or routine access administration.
- You need generic strategy decks without follow-through into execution.
- You are optimizing primarily for lowest cost or maximum headcount.
