How It Works
The Access Governance Engine
Three pillars working together 24/7 to maintain perfect access governance
Access Inventory
What IS • Real-time
Continuous discovery across 300+ systems
Policy
What SHOULD BE • No-code
Define access policies through visual rules
Reconciliation
Fix the Gap • 24/7
Automated enforcement never stops
Technical Deep Dive
Access Governance Micro Flow
Know what you have → Define what you should have → Automatically enforce.
1) Know What You Have
Continuous inventory across identities, accounts, groups, roles and licenses. Shadow and orphaned access surface immediately.
- • Continuous reconciliation
- • Multi-cloud & on-prem discovery
- • Shadow/Orphan detection
2) Define What You Should Have
Business policies set the "should": birthright, roles and constraints by org, job, location and attributes.
- • RBAC + ABAC
- • SoD templates • business functions
- • Time-boxed/project access
3) Automatically Enforce
Calculate target state, execute the delta, and reconcile drift 24/7. Violations fixed in hours, not quarters.
- • Target-state + delta execution
- • CDC-driven drift detection
- • Real-time evidence & certification
⚡ No-Code "If This, Then That" (Exception Orchestration)
IF THIS
- • Person Leaver
- • Mailbox Discovered
- • Account Takeover
- • Person Mover
- • Custom Event
THEN THAT
- • Disable → Archive → Notify
- • Reclaim licenses
- • Terminate after 30d
- • Timing • Dependencies • Approvals
WITH RULES
- • Employee: 30d retention
- • Contractor: 7d retention
- • VIP: step-up + dual control
- • Unlimited variations per event
Event-Driven vs. Policy-Based
Why traditional IAM keeps you in reactive mode
Event-Driven IAM
THE OLD WAY
HR Event Occurs
Execute Provisioning Task
Hope It Worked
Discover Problems in Audit
Too late!
The Cost of Reactive IAM:
- • 87% of provisioning tasks fail silently (Gartner)
- • 3-6 weeks of drift between audit cycles
- • Always reacting to problems after they occur
Policy-Based Access Governance
THE FUTURE
Continuous Inventory
Policy-Defined State
Automated Reconciliation
Always Compliant
Zero drift, audit-ready
Proven Results:
- • 100% delivery rate with queue-based processing
- • Sub-second policy evaluation at scale
- • Always in control with continuous enforcement
Transform your access governance
Shift from reactive chaos to proactive compliance with continuous enforcement and zero drift.
Campaign-Based Recertification
Flexible campaigns covering different areas, access types, and schedules—not one-size-fits-all.
Zero Orphaned Access
Continuous reconciliation automatically removes stale access and reclaims licenses, eliminating security risks.
Always Audit-Ready
Continuous compliance with export-ready evidence. Turn audits into reports, not fire drills.

How do you prevent over-privilege on moves?
We recompute target state on every change; stale access is removed automatically.
What about contractors and partners?
Delegate onboarding and set isolated boundaries; end dates and conditions remove access on time.
