IAM that's German-built and GDPR-native
Identity and access management on the bare.ID platform — German hosting, German engineering, GDPR-native. SSO, MFA, authorisation and identity lifecycle, implemented by Passeca.
Identity and access management from Passeca, on the bare.ID platform, delivers single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, fine-grained authorisation and identity lifecycle management — German-built, German-hosted and GDPR-native. It is the IAM choice for public sector, Mittelstand and BSI C5 buyers, implemented and operated by Passeca.
What is identity and access management?
Identity and access management (IAM) is the discipline of ensuring the right identities — people and services — have the right access to the right resources, and nothing more. It covers authentication (proving who you are), authorisation (governing what you can do), and the full identity lifecycle from onboarding to offboarding.
Compromised identities are the most common entry point in modern attacks. Strong IAM is therefore not just a productivity investment — it is a core security control.
German hosting, German engineering, GDPR-native
For public sector, Mittelstand and BSI C5 buyers, this is a purchasing criterion — not a nice-to-have.
Identity data is among the most sensitive an organisation holds. bare.ID is built and hosted in Germany, which supports German data residency and helps organisations meet GDPR and BDSG requirements. For German public-sector buyers, regulated industries, and any organisation pursuing BSI C5, this is often a hard requirement in procurement — and a genuine differentiator against US-headquartered identity vendors whose data flows raise additional questions.
Who needs managed IAM?
- You are a German public-sector or Mittelstand buyer for whom German hosting is a requirement.
- You pursue BSI C5 and need a cloud-controls-compliant identity platform.
- You have sprawl — many applications, inconsistent auth, orphaned accounts.
- You need SSO and MFA rolled out consistently across your application estate.
What the service covers
From assessment to continuous operation
- 01
Assess
We map your identities, applications and access paths, and identify where excessive privilege, orphaned accounts or weak authentication create risk.
- 02
Design
We design an identity architecture on bare.ID — single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, fine-grained authorisation and lifecycle management — fit to your applications and user population.
- 03
Implement
Passeca implements bare.ID in your environment, integrating your applications and directories, with German hosting and GDPR-native data processing throughout.
- 04
Operate & improve
We run the platform, manage identity events (joiner-mover-leaver), and continuously tighten access — least privilege, monitored and audited.
Powered by bare.ID
bare.ID is the German-built, German-hosted identity platform at the core of the service. Passeca implements, integrates and operates it, connecting your applications and directories and feeding identity events into PassIRP for monitoring. See the bare.ID partner page.
IAM vs PAM
| IAM (bare.ID) | Privileged Access Management | |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | All users and services | Admin / high-privilege accounts |
| Focus | Authentication & authorisation | Vaulting & session control |
| Typical outcome | SSO, MFA, least privilege | Just-in-time admin access |
How long and how much?
An IAM rollout is phased — start with SSO and MFA on high-value applications, then extend. Timelines depend on application count and directory complexity.
Which compliance requirements this supports
- ISO 27001 — access control (A.5.15–A.5.18) and identity management controls.
- GDPR / BDSG — supports data protection and identity-data management requirements.
- BSI C5 — cloud-controls compliance for German public-sector buyers.
- NIS2 — access control and authentication as a baseline risk-management measure.
