Galexia has expertise in identity management and delivering electronic authentication advice.

Galexia’s expertise on identity management includes consideration of the policy context as well as technical design issues, legal compliance, political considerations and community attitudes. Our background in law, technology and public relations makes Galexia uniquely suited to delivering strategic advice on identity management.

Our consultations in authentication involve identifying and analysing the current legal and regulatory framework for the use of electronic authentication, with a particular focus on identifying obstacles to progress, and making recommendations for how such obstacles can be overcome.

Our technical background in both these areas gives us a unique understanding of the inner workings of electronic authentication and identity management technologies and ensures that we provide accurate and detailed advice and analysis in both of these areas.

Galexia is also a member of the Australian Government Information Management Office (AGIMO) Identity Management and Authentication Consultancy Services Panel, specifically in the areas of identity and access management, as well as authentication.
