FICAM stands for Federal Identity, Credential, and Access Management (FICAM) Architecture. FICAM is the federal government’s enterprise approach to design, plan, and execute common ICAM processes. The FICAM Architecture is a framework for an agency to use in ICAM program and solution roadmap planning. The FICAM Architecture focuses on enterprise identity processes, practices, policies, and information security disciplines. learn more at IDManagement.gov.

Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM) Strategy encompasses the full range of activities related to the creation of digital identities and maintenance of associated attributes, credential issuance for person/non-person entities, authentication using the credentials, and making access management control decisions based on authenticated identities and associated attributes. learn more at defense.gov.

The Identity Lifecycle Management Working Group of the Federal Chief Information Security Officer Council ICAM Subcommittee developed this playbook to help federal agencies understand and plan identity lifecycle management initiatives. learn more at IDmanagement.gov.
