Incremental by nature
Every setup is unique
An identity provider here, a directory sync there, a custom recovery flow added after an incident. The result works, but nobody designed it as a whole, and replacing it is rarely the safest first step.
Company / Services
An identity security adviser on your side of the table.
Think of a fiduciary financial adviser: in your interest, open about conflicts, and paid by you rather than by the products they recommend. WebFrolic brings that approach to identity security. Our experts work for you part-time, on a single project or on retainer, so you spend less on identity, get changes done right the first time, and have every change to your identity and security flows reviewed before it ships.
One-time or on retainer. Remote or on site.
What we hear from customers
The hard part is rarely the product.
It is knowing what to change, in what order, and whether a change is worth it.
An expertise gap
The problem is hard to name
Teams feel the symptoms, such as support load, audit findings or slow onboarding, without knowing which kind of problem it is or which solutions exist. Few can justify a full-time identity specialist.
On your side
Advice that is not a sales pitch
Overlapping tools, unused licenses and avoidable migrations cost real money. An adviser only helps if they can recommend your current tools, another vendor or no change at all.
Where the savings come from
Spend less on identity, and make what you spend count.
Savings and security usually point the same way. The same review that finds a wasted license often finds an unmonitored account.
Tools
Overlapping products
Two tools for SSO, MFA or provisioning, often left over from a merger or an earlier project, each with its own license and upkeep.
Licenses
Unused seats and accounts
Licenses for people who have left, and dormant accounts that cost money and widen the attack surface.
Operations
Manual work
Password resets, access requests and onboarding steps that people handle by hand when the tools you own could automate them.
Change
Avoidable migrations
Large replacement projects where a reconfiguration or one added component would close the same gap for far less.
Service 01 · One-time engagement
Ecosystem advisory and onsite support
We learn how your identity setup actually works, explain the trade-offs of changing it, and help your team make the changes, on site where that helps. A good fit when a migration feels too risky, a merger left two stacks, or an audit finding has to be fixed in the tools you already run.
Understand
Current-state map
Identity providers, directories, applications, provisioning, recovery and support paths, the trust and data that flow between them, and what each piece costs.
Weigh
Cost and trade-off analysis
For each pain point: fix in place, reconfigure, add a component or migrate, with the cost, savings, risk and disruption of each option.
Plan
Incremental change plan
A sequence of small, reversible changes that improve security without a big-bang migration.
Support
Onsite solution support
Working sessions with your engineers and administrators to configure, test and roll out changes in your existing tools.
Service 02 · One-time engagement
Independent assessment and evaluation
When the problem itself is not clear, we help you name it, see the range of solutions and evaluate the options, working alongside your team. We assess what each product can actually do in your existing ecosystem: your identity providers, applications, integrations and constraints, not a generic feature list. A good fit when you know something is wrong but not what to buy, or when a vendor shortlist needs testing against your own workflows.
Frame
Problem statement
Turn symptoms into a clear problem: which identities, which risks, which workflows, and what success looks like.
Explore
Solution landscape
The kinds of solution that address it, from configuration changes to identity providers, governance, privileged access or agent identity tools.
Evaluate
Capability assessment
How well each option fits your existing ecosystem, tested against your own workflows and integrations, plus requirements, a shortlist and help scoring demos and proofs of concept.
Decide
Decision write-up
A written recommendation with its costs, savings and trade-offs, so the decision can be explained to leadership, finance, auditors and the next team.
Service 03 · Ongoing
An identity team on retainer
Most companies need deep identity expertise a few days a month, not five days a week. On retainer, you get experienced identity and security people when you need them, at a fraction of the cost of a full-time team, and someone who already knows your setup when a change comes up.
Expertise
Part-time experts
Identity architects and security engineers who learn your environment once and stay with it, instead of a new consultant for every question.
Review
Change review
Changes to sign-in, recovery, roles, integrations and new applications are reviewed before they ship, so a fix in one flow does not open a gap in another.
Projects
Done once, done right
When a project comes up, such as a new SSO integration or an MFA rollout, it is designed and checked by people who have done it before.
Posture
Regular check-ins
Periodic reviews of accounts, access, licenses and costs, so savings and security gains do not drift away after the first project.
Why review changes? Identity failures often come from flows that each look fine on their own but combine badly. Our post Why security features must be tested across the whole identity system explains the pattern.
How an engagement works
Four steps, starting with listening.
Listen
Talk to the people who run the identity systems, support them and depend on them.
Map
Document the current state, the pain points and the constraints that any change has to respect.
Recommend
Set out the options in writing with their cost, savings and security impact, including doing nothing.
Support
Help implement the changes or run the evaluation, on site where useful, and stay on retainer to review what changes next.
How we work
Fiduciary-style commitments.
The goal is a better security posture for less money, not a particular purchase.
- Your interest first: recommendations start from what you run today and what you can afford.
- No commissions or referral fees: we take nothing from the vendors whose products we recommend.
- Conflicts disclosed: WebFrolic also builds an identity product. We say so up front, and flag it whenever it appears on a shortlist.
- Honest about fit: if your current tools or another product suit you better, we say so.
- Measured in money and risk: each recommendation is written down with what it costs, what it saves and what it changes in your security posture.
- Knowledge stays with your team: we document and work alongside your people rather than create dependence.
- Better for everyone: a safer identity setup protects every company and customer connected to yours.
