Hi, I’m doing architecture review of ISC for my organisation. I’ve searched the documentation and developer community and found architecture related docs, i.e. the data model, Architecture of SaaS Connectivity and VA’s, but haven’t found all the information I’m looking for, i.e. like reference architecture, I found one for IIQ but not ISC.
This site provides a pretty good summary of additional information I’m after but doesn’t include any references to Sailpoint docs. Identity Security Cloud - Welcome to IAM Training by Vitla , for example it say ISC is “Built on a cloud-native foundation” but I can’t find much info on the Sailpoint sites.
What I’d really like a specification fact sheet that includes all the following below. Long list sorry, but I think those techs and architects new to Sailpoint might find it useful. Hopefully you already have one with the information on it. Many of the information of these item I have found in the
site SailPoint Identity Services - SailPoint Identity Services, which is useful, but quite time consuming to retrieve the information and it would be handy if they were on a single page or 2.
Reference Architectures (diagrams)
Cloud Native Architecture principles: -
-Architecturally designed for cloud environments and/or CNFC certification
-Supports microservices architecture and implements containerisation
-Supports industry-standard APIs
-Implements robust security protocols
-Provides observability and monitoring capabilities
-Supports infrastructure-as-code (IaC) practices for cloud resource management
-Enables automated deployment and scaling
-Meets performance characteristics of low latency, predictable performance, resilience and self-healing
-Utilise cloud-native services for databases, storage, and compute resources.
Security and Standards Compliance :-
-Regular security updates and patches
Security standards
-Supports multi-factor authentication
-Comprehensive access control
-Ensures data privacy and residency requirements
-Offers audit and compliance reporting
Interoperability
-Self-serviced Integration Capability
-Provides comprehensive and robust API capabilities
-Supports real-time or near real-time data synchronisation
-Offers robust data export and integration mechanisms
-Data is complete, accessible and available in a timely manner
-Supports multiple integration patterns
-Demonstrates consistent API performance
-Service Level Agreements (SLAs)
-Supports performant asynchronous bulk data transfer capabilities
Operational Efficiency
-Enable auto-scaling, load balancing and maximum spend limits for cloud-based applications
-Utilise cloud-native monitoring and analytics tools for proactive system management.
