What We Do
Enterprise IAM and AI Governance

How we work
Outcome-driven delivery. Always zero downtime.
Every Midships engagement follows the same delivery model — regardless of platform or programme size.
01
Discovery and Assessment
We understand your current IAM landscape, pain points, regulatory context, and target state before recommending anything.
02
Architecture and Roadmap
Target architecture, accelerator selection, and a realistic low-risk delivery plan scoped to your timeline and budget.
03
Implementation
DevSecOps-native delivery. Infrastructure-as-code, GitOps pipelines, and hardened configurations deployed to all environments consistently.
04
Zero Downtime Go-Live
Blue/green, canary, or rolling deployment. Rehearsed in lower environments. Executed in production without service interruption.
Why Midships
Specialists, not generalists
Three things set Midships apart from every other IAM consultancy.
Zero downtime is non-negotiable
We have never caused a production outage on a go-live or upgrade. This is not a marketing claim — it is a delivery model built around blue/green deployments, canary releases, and rehearsed cutovers. For regulated enterprises, IAM downtime is not an option.
White-box products you own
Our Accelerators and Icebreaker are licensable products with full source code. You are not locked in to Midships for ongoing changes. Your team inherits a platform they can own, operate, and evolve independently.
Engineers, not account managers
Every Midships engagement is led by hands-on engineers, architects, and product specialists. You speak directly to the people doing the work — not intermediaries. Senior experts are accessible throughout, not just at the start.
Common questions
What we do — FAQs
Do you specialise in Ping or Keycloak, or both?
Both. Midships has deep expertise in Ping Identity (AIS and AIC) and Keycloak/RHBK. We are one of very few firms globally with certified, production-proven delivery capability across both platforms. For enterprises evaluating one against the other, we provide independent advice — our recommendation is always based on your architecture, budget, and regulatory context, not vendor preference.
Can Midships handle both delivery and ongoing operations?
Yes. Midships offers consulting and implementation, licensable accelerators, and Guardian — our 24x7 managed operations service for Ping, Keycloak, and Icebreaker. You can engage for any combination, and we can take over operations of a platform we did not deploy.
What is AI Governance and why does it matter now?
AI Governance is the set of controls that ensure autonomous AI agents operate within authorised boundaries, that their actions are accountable, and that evidence is available for audit and regulatory purposes. It matters now because enterprises are deploying agentic AI that takes real actions in live customer processes — and standard IAM was not designed for this. Midships provides both governance strategy and Icebreaker, our runtime governance product.
Which regions does Midships operate in?
Asia Pacific (Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Philippines), the United Kingdom, Ireland, the UAE, and the broader Middle East. Midships is a remote-first team headquartered in Singapore with entities in Malaysia and India and regional presence across all operating geographies.
What industries does Midships serve?
Primarily financial services — banking, insurance, capital markets, and fintech. Midships also works with regulated enterprises in healthcare and government. Our track record includes tier-one banks such as DBS, Standard Chartered, ANZ, Westpac NZ, Jago Bank, and BDO Bank.
How does zero downtime delivery actually work?
Zero downtime delivery uses blue/green deployments, canary releases, or Kubernetes rolling updates — depending on the platform and environment. Every go-live and upgrade is rehearsed in lower environments first, with tested rollback procedures before anything touches production. Midships has executed upgrades and migrations for tier-one financial institutions without a single minute of service interruption.
