IAM OPERATIONS -IDENTITY GOVERNANCE LEVEL 3 PROCESS DEFINITIONS (1/4) L1.5 Capability L2 Capability USER LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT IDENTITY GOVERNANCE ACCESS REQUESTS & PROVISIONING L3 Process Description Identity Journey Management Processes related to the creation, management and definition of the identity and related attributes from the moment it is known to the source (e.g. HR) until the moment the account is deactivated and deleted. Delegated Administration Delegated administration processes that allow local administrators or supervisors to perform changes on a limited part of the IAM platform, for example for the benefit of market participants. This includes scenarios where a user is authorised to perform actions on behalf of another user. Self-Service Processes that allow users to manage their own identity data and passwords within the set frameworks. Identity Integration Processes for integrating (attributes related to) an internal or external identity between applications and environments, for example using APIs. Privacy & User Consent Processes to allow use of data after consent from the owner of this (personal) data. Progressive Profiling Progressive profiling is a technique that allows to gradually collect more data on leads at strategically timed intervals throughout the identity journey. Workflow Management Processes for managing the workflow for validation and approval for granting access. The workflow provides a distribution of the tasks to be performed in this process, for example, for approval by the user’s manager. Provisioning/Deprovisioning Processes for creating, modifying and deleting user accounts and access rights in IAM-managed target applications and systems (after following defined workflows). Account Management Processes to manage user accounts by creating, modifying, updating and deleting user records in target applications and systems managed by IAM. Reconciliation Processes for reconciling roles and rights in the IAM solution with the target application(s) if differences are identified. 19
IAM OPERATIONS -IDENTITY GOVERNANCE LEVEL 3 PROCESS DEFINITIONS (2/4) L1.5 Capability L2 Capability ACCESS REQUESTS & PROVISIONING ROLE MANAGEMENT IDENTITY GOVERNANCE COMPLIANCE MANAGEMENT L3 process Description Just-In-Time Provisioning The creation of accounts in (web) applications at the first login attempt of a user. Entitlement Management The ability to centrally manage access rights from target applications. Role Management Processes to define and maintain roles and rights. Policy Management Management and maintenance of policies in a Policy Administration Point (PAP), looking at: 1) the attributes of a user (e.g. in-service status, job title), 2) the resource the user is trying to access, 3) the action the user is trying to do (read, write) and 4) the environment context (e.g. location, time zone or device type). These policies are stored in the Policy Information Point (PIP). Role Mining Ability to automatically discover the role structure by analysing the rights assigned to users with similar identity attributes. Data Subjects Rights Management Identifying where IAM plays a role in relation to the rights of a data subject, arising from the AVG, as well as setting up and enforcing compliance. Segregation of Duties (SoD) Enable segregation of duties and powers to prevent one person being responsible for critical actions in a business process or having access to data outside their capacity (e.g. supplier). Certification Periodic process of validating proper access and issuing “certificates” after validation, as well as revoking non-valid access. 20
IAM OPERATIONS -ACCESS MANAGEMENT LEVEL 3 PROCESS DEFINITIONS (3/4) L1.5 Capability L2 Capability L3 Process Basic Authentication Validate, using a username and password, whether the identity presented by the user is correct. Strong Authentication Combination of username, password and an additional factor such as tokens, biometric data, smart cards or certificates. Multi-factor authentication is when something the user knows (password) is supplemented by something the user has (token, smart card) or something the user is (fingerprint, biometric data). API Gateway Providing and managing central authentication components for both internal and external APIs within <CLIENT>. Session Management Method that, during a user session (after authentication), allows the user to seamlessly access applications as long as the authentication ticket or token is valid. This process also includes enforcement of session duration controls, idle session timeouts, protection against session hijacking, etc. Adaptive Authentication Based on the risk profile and behaviour of the user, different authentication factors can be requested from the user. This is a form of multi-factor authentication. Federation Collaboration based on a trust relationship between different identity providers, for example from partners as well as from external identity providers such as IDIN or eRecognition. After entering into the trust relationship, users can use the same credentials to access multiple environments. Single Sign-On (SSO) Method whereby the user can access multiple applications with a single login. Token Management Management of access tokens, which are used for token-based authentication such as APIs. Directory Management Managing the directories where identity profiles and access rights are stored and organized. Directory Synchronization Synchronizing between directories where access rights and identity profiles are stored and organized so that they are up-to-date in the various systems. For example, between Cloud and on-premises directories. AUTHENTICATION ACCESS MANAGEMENT DIRECTORY MANAGEMENT Description 21
IAM OPERATIONS -ACCESS MANAGEMENT AND PRIVILEGED ACCESS MANAGEMENT LEVEL 3 PROCESS DEFINITIONS (4/4) L1.5/L2 Capability ACCESS MANAGEMENT L3 Process Role-Based Access Control A form of course-grained authorization, in which a user has one or more roles assigned based on function and/or position within the organization. This form of authorization is dependent on a predefined role. Policy-Based Access Control A form of fine-grained authorization, where one or more attributes of the user are used to determine access rights based on predefined policies. Authorization decisions are enforced by a Policy Enforcement Point (PEP) and evaluated by a Policy Decision Point (PDP). Privileged Account LCM The lifecycle management of privileged accounts largely follows the regular Identity Journey Process. However, for privileged accounts, onboarding and decommissioning are especially relevant because of the risk of the increased rights these accounts have. Firefighter Access The possibility of using a highly privileged account for exceptional situations. Hard-Coded Password Management Process of externalizing passwords, allowing hard-coded credentials to be removed from application code and replaced with more secure configurations. Remote Maintenance Access Providing the possibility to grant third parties access to perform remote (maintenance) work. Privileged Session Management This process is similar to the regular session management process, only specifically for setting up sessions for privileged accounts that are centrally logged and reviewed. DevOps Pipeline Management The ability to automatically manage the passwords of the accounts used in the DevOps pipeline through the other privileged account management processes. Credential Rotation Changing and resetting passwords in order to shorten their lifespan and increase security. AUTHORISATION PRIVILEGED ACCESS MANAGEMENT Description 22

FOR <CLIENT>, THE QUESTION IS HOW TO FILL THE ROLES WITHIN THE IAM PLATFORM TEAM THREE SCENARIOS FOR STAFFING THE IAM PLATFORM TEAM A: Mixed Vendor and <CLIENT> IGA Role BaU (estimated FTE) PAM AM PBAC CIAM B: Vendor provides specific skill IGA PAM AM PBAC CIAM C: Vendor provides service/product IGA PAM AM PBAC CIAM Product Owner (0.5 FTE) Technical Specialist* (4 FTE) System Architect (0.2 FTE) Business Analyst (1 FTE) Scrum Master (0.5 FTE) Illustrative >CLIENT< Vendor • Mixed teams where resources from vendors are interspersed based on availability • No overall accountability and limited control to ensure stability of team • Slows formation of team and time to maturity • Easier to slot in resources to fill nearterm needs • Vendor provides a particular skill set that is common across a set of Teams (e.g., business systems analyst) • Improved team performance relative to a mixed set of skills • Can support development of <CLIENT> colleagues in that role • Potential confusion on team accountability *Illustrative Technical Specialist (Developer / Tester) estimation breakdown: IGA: 1,0 FTE, PAM: 1,0 FTE , AM: 1.0 FTE PBAC: 0,5 FTE. CIAM: 0,5 FTE • Vendor provides complete Teams that augment the domain • Clearer accountability for ownership of outcomes relative to the product area • Provides flex capacity if planned demand for effort fluctuates • Potential over-reliance of vendors when a strategic capability is required • Information sharing across product teams within domain could be negatively impacted 48

GENERAL PRINCIPLES FOR IAMBLUEPRINT (2/2) GENERAL PRINCIPLES FOR IAMBLUEPRINT -EXPLANATION PRINCIPLES EXPLANATION Rational Users centricity IAM will be designed around the requirements of end-users (e.g. employees of <CLIENT>) • Increases user experience and employee productivity Intuitive & seamless - from any device The IAM solution must be easy to use and provide easy access to all <CLIENT> applications, from all devices. Whether BYOD is allowed depends on the policy to be defined. • Increases user experience and employee productivity Self service & delegated administration The IAM solution must be self-sufficient and facilitate users as much as possible in solving their own problems such as password resets and rights requests. Delegated administration should be included. • • Increases user experience and employee productivity Contributes to more efficient operations and reduced costs. • On behalf of the business The IAM solution serves The IAM solution contributes to the business goals and overall success of <CLIENT>. Value is also tracked and reported to the business. Contributes to convincing the business of the importance of ongoing investment in an IAM program • Ensures focus on realizing value through the IAM related initiatives Automated The IAM solution uses automation wherever possible to simplify processes and increase efficiency. • Contributes to (cost) efficient implementation, with fewer manual errors. Secure by design The security of the IAM solution and its processes must be in line with the <CLIENT> security policy • Identity is the new perimeter, contributing to lowering the risk profile by effectively deploying control mechanisms. Standard building blocks, easy to consume IAM consists of standard building blocks, which are easily consumed by the development teams. This also means that standard protocols are used as much as possible and configuration is preferred over customization. • • Enables developers to focus on development Reduces the risk of complications if components need to be replaced in the future 50
GENERAL PRINCIPLES FOR IAMBLUEPRINT (2/2) DETAILEDEXPLANATION PRINCIPLES EXPLANATION Rational • Facilitates central role within the digitization of the energy sector and ensures sustainable development of IAM platforms. Future-proof as an ecosystem The IAM platform will be developed to support a future ecosystem within the sector. This means that current and future innovations in the market (of both identities, IAM, Applications and underlying infrastructure) will be used as much as possible and that this will also be secured in the development of the roadmap. Supports user-defined role model IAM must be able to identify both the identity of the acting entity (organization, person, system) and the capacity in which it is acting, taking into account that a user may be acting in another capacity at another point in time. • • Contributes to compliance. There may be requirements (e.g. license or accreditation) for assuming capacities. Managed Service without vendor lock-in Where possible, services surrounding IAM are arranged as a managed service. A vendor-agnostic design ensures that in the future certain components can be (relatively) easily disconnected. • • Contributes to more efficient operations. Ensures that <CLIENT> can focus on its core business, as devising and implementing solutions itself requires a lot of <CLIENT> capacity. Making maximum use of existing IdPs IAM should support integration with IdPs that are, or appear to be, market standards in order to facilitate its end users as much as possible. • • Contributes to cost-efficiency and digital enablement Should prevent additional work of self-maintenance and/or development. The IAM solution must enable cloud services (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, BPaaS) and be cloud-based itself. • Contributes to cost elasticity and scalability - ability to scale up or down cloud services depending on demand Contributes to agility - ability to quickly and safely integrate (new) cloud services.
