Identity & Access Management

Saviynt Identity Cloud

Converged SaaS identity platform for governance, provisioning, certification, and least privilege.

Saviynt Identity Cloud Overview

What it does

The Saviynt Identity Cloud is a native SaaS identity security platform that converges identity governance and administration (IGA), privileged access management, application access governance, external identity, and non-human identity management on a single data model. It manages every identity type, including internal workforce, external workforce, privileged users, machine identities, and AI agents, across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments.

How it works

On the governance side, the platform automates the full identity lifecycle, assigning access during onboarding and revoking it automatically on departure, and fulfills access changes across connected systems through the Saviynt Exchange connector ecosystem. Users request access through a self-service catalog governed by policy-driven approval workflows, while certification campaigns, cross-application segregation-of-duties controls, entitlement management, and role mining and role lifecycle management enforce least privilege. Identity analytics provide an enterprise-wide view of access risk to prioritize reviews and remediation.

Credentials and traction

The Saviynt Identity Cloud is authorized at FedRAMP Moderate for IGA and PAM and holds SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, ISO 27017, and PCI DSS attestations. Saviynt was named a 2024 Gartner Peer Insights Customers' Choice for IGA for the fourth consecutive year, was included in the 2024 Gartner Market Guide for IGA, and was named an Overall Leader in KuppingerCole's 2024 Leadership Compass for IGA. It targets large regulated enterprises and government agencies.

Key Capabilities

mapped to solution categories
Identity Governance and Administration (IGA)

Automated joiner, mover, and leaver processes for workforce and workload identities, including AI agents, that create, change, and revoke identities and their access across connected systems, correlating identity and application data from multiple authoritative sources (HR, directories, contractor systems) into one identity record.

Automated fulfillment of access changes to target systems through prebuilt out-of-the-box connectors (for example SAP, Workday, Microsoft 365), purpose-built custom connectors for homegrown platforms, and standards-based provisioning (SCIM 2.0), with ITSM ticket-based manual fulfillment as the fallback for applications no connector reaches.

Self-service access request catalog with configurable, policy-driven approval workflows.

Access review campaigns in which reviewers attest to or revoke access for workforce and workload identities, including AI agents, down to the entitlement level. Certifications are event-triggered (a transfer, a risk change, a new entitlement) as well as scheduled, and risk context and recommendations are surfaced so reviewers act on exceptions instead of rubber-stamping every line.

Defines static segregation-of-duties rules as conflicting roles and entitlements, blocks toxic combinations at request time, and continuously monitors for SOD violations with alerts and mitigating-control tracking. Static SOD became a mandatory IGA capability in 2026; predictive dynamic SOD analysis is a separate feature.

Continuously discovers entitlements across applications and systems, reconciles them against what is actually granted in each target, and enriches each entitlement with a description, owner, and risk level so requesters and reviewers understand what they are approving. Fine-grained runtime entitlements are covered by Fine-Grained Authorization Policy Orchestration.

Role mining, modeling, and administration to standardize access through roles.

Applies predictive and prescriptive analytics and AI assistants to governance decisions: recommends approvals and certification outcomes, proposes role and policy models from access patterns, flags anomalous access for review, and answers natural-language questions about who has access and why. Distinct from Identity Analytics and Risk Scoring, which supplies the descriptive risk scores these recommendations build on.

Descriptive and diagnostic analytics over identity and access data: scores each identity's risk from its entitlements, peer-group outliers, orphaned and dormant accounts, and SOD exposure, and feeds those scores into certification prioritization and remediation. Predictive and prescriptive recommendations belong to AI-Assisted Identity Governance.

Governs workload identities (service accounts, applications, containers, RPA bots, and AI agents) and their accounts through the same lifecycle, ownership, certification, and policy controls as workforce identities: assigns a business sponsor and technical owner, records purpose, and removes the identity and its access when it is no longer justified.

Registers and manages identities and profiles for nonemployee, contractor and business-partner populations not held in another authoritative source.

Extends static segregation-of-duties checks with predictive, dynamic controls: simulates the SOD impact of a requested or proposed access change before it is granted, analyzes cross-application and transaction-level conflicts, and recommends mitigating controls instead of only flagging violations after the fact.

Delivers cloud infrastructure entitlement management out of the box: discovers IAM roles, policies, and permissions across AWS, Azure, and GCP, detects excessive or unused cloud entitlements, and governs them through the same request, certification, and remediation workflows as application access.

Governs fine-grained, runtime entitlements by coordinating with authorization management platforms: shares authorization policy data, orchestrates policy actions dynamically across connected systems, and gives reviewers policy visualization and certification beyond the coarse, admin-time entitlements IGA manages natively.

Uses AI-enabled connectors, browser plug-ins, and APIs to discover disconnected applications and identity sources and to build and maintain their integrations automatically, cutting application onboarding from weeks to days and keeping connectors current without professional services.

Produces audit evidence mapped to specific regulatory mandates (NIS2, DORA, SOX, GDPR, HIPAA): automated regulation-specific reports, scheduled and ad hoc exports, and immutable audit trails that demonstrate continuous audit readiness rather than point-in-time evidence collection. Basic access reporting is table stakes; assign only when controls are mapped to named regulations.

Grants entitlements for a defined, limited period and automatically revokes or re-reviews them when the period expires, so temporary, project-based, and elevated access does not accumulate as standing entitlements.
