Authentication & Digital Identity Advisory
A clear path from legacy authentication to passkeys and modern customer identity — sequenced around adoption, not ideology.
How we advise
Most organisations know where they want authentication to end up. The difficulty is the transition: legacy MFA, mixed device estates, recovery paths that undo the security gains, and a customer base that will not migrate on command.
CyberLane reviews your current identity architecture and product constraints, then defines a target state and a staged adoption roadmap your teams can actually execute.
Advisory focus areas
Passkey Strategy
Where passkeys fit, which user segments move first, and how to handle fallback without reintroducing weak paths.
CIAM Architecture
Review of customer identity architecture, journey design, and how identity data flows across products.
MFA Modernisation
Moving away from SMS and shared secrets towards phishing-resistant factors at a pace users will accept.
Recovery Controls
Designing account recovery that is resistant to social engineering while remaining usable at scale.
Risk-Based Step-Up
Matching authentication strength to transaction risk instead of applying uniform friction.
Adoption Roadmap
A staged plan covering sequencing, dependencies, measurement and stakeholder communication.
Technologies we typically evaluate here
Advice comes first: the requirements decide the technology, not the other way round. Where a product is warranted in this domain, these are the ecosystem technologies we most often assess.
What you receive
- Current-state identity architecture review
- Target-state authentication design
- Passkey and MFA adoption roadmap
- Recovery control recommendations
- Requirements for CIAM or authentication vendors
- Executive summary and investment rationale
CyberLane advises on strategy, architecture and selection. Platform build, integration and rollout are delivered by your teams, the vendor, or a qualified implementation partner with CyberLane providing oversight.
Where should you start?
A short consultation is usually enough to frame the problem, agree the scope and outline a practical next step.
