Toolkit, Reference
Reference
These are not steps. Come to them when the work sends you here: the figures, the catalog, the language, and the frameworks behind the book.
Reference material
The figures, in full color
All thirty-one figures from the book at full size and in full color. The printed interior is grayscale; these are not. Free to download and reuse with credit.
Identity System Catalog
The full field set for how identity behaves inside every system, plus the fillable workbook.
Glossary
The complete, searchable glossary: a clear, practical vocabulary for human, nonhuman, and AI identity.
Frameworks & references
How the model maps to NIST, ISO, the EU AI Act, and GDPR, with links to every source.
Quotable
Nearly a hundred of the book's one-liners, grouped by topic with their chapters. Copy any line with attribution, ready to share.
Reporting Dashboards
See what good reporting looks like at four altitudes: operational, governance, executive, and the board. Download the Excel and PowerPoint templates, plus a completed example, to build your own.
Companion guides
Where the book points online
Ownership-model reference
Every kind of owner in the model, what each one decides, and how ownership moves through joiner, mover, leaver, reorganizations, and acquisitions.
Delivery discipline
Getting the model built right: who owns requirements, who signs scope, who tests independently of who built it, and what “done” means.
The metric library
Identity metrics by pillar, with formulas, owners, and cadence, and how to set thresholds from your risk appetite.
Business cases by audience
Each pillar’s case as the board, the CFO, the CISO, and a line-of-business leader each hear it.
Framework walkthrough
Each standard and regulation in plain language, what it asks of identity, and how the operating model answers it.
