With Key2XS as the mediation layer, either side can be swapped without losing governance, rights or audit history.   ## **Seamless Transitions: How Key2XS Simplifies Migration Between IAM and Locking Systems** In complex operational environments, energy grids, water utilities, transport networks, **change is inevitable**. Whether it’s a corporate decision to move from **[SailPoint](https://www.sailpoint.com) to [Entra ID](https://www.microsoft.com)**, or an operational change from **[ASSA ABLOY CLIQ](https://www.assaabloy.com/nl/nl/solutions/topics/digital-access-solutions/cliq)to[iLOQ](https://www.iloq.com) or vice versa**, migrating between identity or key systems has historically been **painful, risky, and resource-intensive**. ### ![roadworker](https://key2xs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/roadworker.png?width=97&height=97&name=roadworker.png) ### **The Problem: Fragmented Access During Migration** When organizations change their **Identity and Access Management (IAM)** provider or **physical locking infrastructure**, two critical domains collide: - Digital identities and entitlements are re-mapped or re-provisioned. - Physical credentials (keys, cylinders, and access rights) must remain synchronized to prevent downtime and compliance gaps. Traditionally, these migrations required **parallel administration**, duplicated user data, and manual coordination across IT, OT, and facility management. The result: overlapping access lists, potential lockouts, and increased attack surface.   ### **The Key2XS Approach** **Key2XS** was built to eliminate this friction. The platform acts as a **vendor-agnostic integration layer** between digital identity systems and physical key management. During a migration, Key2XS maintains a **single source of truth for access policies**, ensuring continuity and compliance while the underlying IAM or locking systems change. Key2XS supports multi-vendor ecosystems including: - **IAM:** Microsoft Entra ID, [Okta](https://www.okta.com), [One Identity](https://www.oneidentity.com), SailPoint, [OpenText/](https://www.opentext.com)NetIQ - **Locking systems:** ASSA ABLOY CLIQ, iLOQ S5/10/50, DOM Tapkey and others   ### **Controlled Cut-Over and Dual Synchronization** With Key2XS, the migration process is **phased and controlled**: 1. **Discovery phase** – all key users, access groups, and objects are mapped through the Key2XS AI-driven inventory engine. 2. **Dual integration** – Key2XS synchronizes both the legacy and target IAM or locking system, allowing **parallel operation** during transition. 3. **Automated provisioning** – keys and access rights are provisioned or revoked automatically through IAM-driven workflows, ensuring continuity. 4. **Validation and reporting** – compliance dashboards show audit readiness under CER, [NIS2](https://key2xs.com/nis2-directive?hsLang=nl), and GDPR requirements throughout the migration. This means a DSO, for example, can migrate from Entra ID to SailPoint while keeping **thousands of transformer stations accessible** with zero downtime.   ### **The Compliance Advantage** Under [EU regulations such as **CER**](https://home-affairs.ec.europa.eu/communication-guidelines-resilience-critical-entities_en) (see guidelines) and **NIS2**, critical entities must demonstrate **traceable and governed access control** at all times. A migration event cannot create an “access gap.” Key2XS ensures every change, whether in IAM or lock infrastructure, is logged, validated, and reportable. This guarantees operational continuity **without compromising security or compliance posture**.   ### **The Outcome** Organizations using Key2XS achieve: - **Zero operational downtime** during IAM or lock vendor change - **Consistent identity-to-key mapping** across systems - **Audit-ready reporting** under CER/NIS2 - **Reduced migration effort** by over 60%   ### **In Short** Key2XS is the missing bridge between digital and physical access, turning migrations that once took months of manual work into **controlled, compliant transitions**. Because in critical infrastructure, **continuity is not optional**. ![](https://key2xs.com/hubfs/1587550138006.jpeg)![](https://key2xs.com/hubfs/img/niels-bakker.png)![](https://key2xs.com/hubfs/1746630921693.jpeg)![](https://key2xs.com/hubfs/1696359051569.jpeg) **Written by the Key2XS team** Key2XS is founder-run.
