Access Governance

Control how access is reviewed, requested, approved, fulfilled and removed.

Start with User Access Reviews, then extend governance into Access Request, lifecycle workflows, access templates, SoD and fulfillment as your program matures. Give users an easier way to get the access they need while giving security and compliance teams the controls and evidence they require.

Start focused. Expand when the need is real.

Build access governance in the order that makes sense for your organization.

You do not have to implement every IGA capability on day one. Start with the control creating the most pressure, then add the next layer when the process and data are ready.

User Access Reviews

Certify existing access, clean up stale entitlements and establish a reliable evidence foundation.

Access Request

Give users a controlled way to request applications, entitlements and standardized access packages.

Lifecycle & Fulfillment

Automate supported joiner, mover and leaver changes and track fulfillment where manual action is required.

Access Models

Use access analysis, templates, roles and SoD controls to make future access more consistent and lower risk.

Access Request

Make access easy to request — and hard to grant without the right approval.

Replace email, chat messages and service-desk guesswork with a self-service request experience. Users can request the application, entitlement or access package they need, while predefined workflows route the request to the right approvers and preserve a complete record of the decision.

A better experience for requesters

  • Request application or entitlement-level access
  • Use standardized access templates where appropriate
  • Submit requests for yourself or supported delegated scenarios
  • Track request status without chasing IT
  • Request temporary or time-bound access when the need is not permanent

Give requesters a simple catalog while keeping approvals, policy checks and auditability behind every request.
Policy and approvals

Put the control before the access is granted.

Different access deserves different scrutiny. Use approval workflows, policy checks and time limits to match the control to the risk of the request.

Multi-level approvals

Route requests through predefined approvers or approval chains so higher-risk access receives the right level of review before fulfillment.

SoD & policy checks

Identify conflicting or risky access combinations and make policy part of the approval decision rather than discovering the issue later.

Temporary & time-bound access

Grant access for a defined period when permanent access is unnecessary, with expiry and revocation controls where supported.

The goal is simple: make the fastest path to access the governed path.
Lifecycle & fulfillment

Automate the right systems. Keep every other change controlled and traceable.

Use identity profiles and lifecycle events to standardize access for joiners, movers and leavers. Directly automate supported target systems and use governed, trackable fulfillment for applications that still require an administrator or service desk to make the change.

Joiner / mover / leaver

  • Attribute-based identity profiles and access templates
  • New-hire and onboarding access
  • Role changes, transfers and promotions
  • Termination and offboarding
  • Provisioning, deprovisioning and revocation workflows

Access models

Turn what you learn from real access into safer, repeatable patterns.

After access reviews clean up stale and excessive permissions, use actual access data to understand common patterns, standardize repeatable access and identify risky combinations before they become the new normal.

Access Analysis

Analyze how access is distributed across the user population, identify common patterns, spot anomalies and use those findings as the foundation for role and access-model decisions.

Access Templates

Package stable combinations of application and entitlement access into reusable templates so users can request or receive consistent access without rebuilding permissions one entitlement at a time.

Segregation of Duties

Define and detect toxic or conflicting access combinations so SoD becomes part of access design, request decisions and ongoing governance.
