IAM Developer – Omada

NextLink Group is seeking an experienced Omada Identity Platform Security Consultant to independently assess, analyze, and document the logging and monitoring capabilities of the Omada Identity Platform.

The primary objective of the engagement is to determine how security-relevant audit information generated by Omada can be made available for centralized security monitoring processes and aligned with applicable organizational logging and monitoring requirements.

The consultant will perform a structured assessment of existing Omada audit and security logging capabilities, identify security-relevant events, evaluate potential log export and integration mechanisms, identify monitoring gaps, and develop an Omada-specific logging and monitoring concept.

This engagement is structured as a self-contained work package with clearly defined deliverables. The scope focuses on assessment, architecture/concept development, and technical documentation. Operational implementation and ongoing operational activities are excluded.

Key Responsibilities

1. Omada Audit & Security Logging Assessment

• Analyze available audit, security, administrative, authentication, and operational log sources within the Omada Identity Platform.
  
• Identify the types of events and audit information generated by the platform.
  
• Assess the availability, completeness, and security relevance of available events.
  
• Determine which events are suitable for centralized security monitoring and detection use cases.
  
• Document relevant log sources, event categories, event attributes, and associated limitations.
  

2. Security Event Analysis

Identify and classify security-relevant events, including areas such as:

• Authentication and access-related events
  
• Failed or suspicious authentication activities
  
• Administrative and privileged activities
  
• Changes to identities, accounts, roles, and entitlements
  
• Role and access assignment changes
  
• Access request and approval activities
  
• Provisioning and de-provisioning activities
  
• Failed provisioning or synchronization events
  
• Configuration and policy changes
  
• Privileged or sensitive changes within the Omada platform
  
• Security-related system or integration events
  
• Relevant audit activities that may support incident investigation and forensic analysis
  

The final event catalogue will be based on events actually available within the applicable Omada environment and product configuration.

3. Logging & Monitoring Concept

Develop an Omada-specific logging and monitoring concept covering:

• Relevant Omada log sources
  
• Security-relevant event categories
  
• Recommended events for centralized monitoring
  
• Event prioritization and severity considerations
  
• Monitoring and detection use cases
  
• Required event information and contextual fields
  
• Auditability and traceability requirements
  
• Log availability and retention considerations
  
• Identification of gaps between available logging and security-monitoring requirements
  
• Recommendations for addressing identified gaps
  

4. Log Export & Integration Assessment

Evaluate technically feasible mechanisms for providing Omada security and audit logs to centralized monitoring platforms.

The assessment should cover, where applicable:

• Native Omada logging/export capabilities
  
• APIs and supported interfaces
  
• File-based log collection
  
• Database or audit-data interfaces
  
• Connector or integration mechanisms
  
• Potential SIEM/SOC integration approaches
  
• Log format and event structure
  
• Data normalization requirements
  
• Event filtering and security relevance
  
• Reliability and completeness of log transfer
  
• Security and access considerations associated with log collection
  
• Technical dependencies and constraints
  

The objective is to provide an integration assessment and recommendation, rather than perform the production integration.

Deliverables

The consultant will be responsible for producing the following professional documentation artifacts:

1. Omada Audit Log Inventory & Assessment

A structured inventory containing:

• Available log sources
  
• Audit-log categories
  
• Relevant event types
  
• Event information/attributes
  
• Security relevance
  
• Monitoring suitability
  
• Availability and accessibility
  
• Known limitations or gaps
  

2. Omada Logging & Monitoring Concept

A comprehensive concept defining:

• Logging objectives
  
• Relevant security events
  
• Security monitoring requirements
  
• Event prioritization
  
• Monitoring recommendations
  
• Proposed approach for centralized security monitoring
  

3. Security Event Catalogue

Structured documentation of security-relevant events and log types, including recommendations regarding which events should be forwarded to centralized security monitoring.

4. Technical Integration Assessment

Assessment of the available methods for extracting and/or providing Omada audit information to centralized security-monitoring infrastructure, including technical dependencies, limitations, and recommended integration approach.

5. Gap Analysis & Recommendations

Identification of differences between:

• Required security-monitoring capabilities
  
• Available Omada logging capabilities
  
• Events currently available for monitoring
  
• Events/information required for effective security monitoring
  

Each identified gap should include an appropriate recommendation or proposed remediation approach.

6. Final Technical Documentation

A consolidated final document containing:

• Executive summary
  
• Current-state assessment
  
• Log-source inventory
  
• Security-event catalogue
  
• Logging and monitoring concept
  
• Integration assessment
  
• Gap analysis
  
• Assumptions and dependencies
  
• Technical limitations
  
• Identified risks
  
• Recommendations
  
• Proposed next steps for subsequent implementation

Expected Consultant Profile

The ideal consultant combines Omada/IGA expertise with cybersecurity logging and SIEM knowledge.

This is not purely an Omada administration role and not purely a SOC/SIEM role. The consultant should be capable of bridging:

Omada / IGA → Audit & Security Events → Logging Architecture → SIEM/SOC Monitoring

The consultant must also be comfortable independently investigating platform capabilities and translating technical findings into clearly structured security requirements and recommendations.
