IdentityIQ Components and Features

IdentityIQ Compliance Manager

Automate access certifications, policy management, and audit reporting to streamline compliance processes and improve the effectiveness of identity governance – all while lowering costs.

  • Access Certification: Maintain a continuous state of compliance by frequently reviewing and rechecking user access throughout your organization.

  • Automated Policy Management: Create a more secure and compliant organization by enforcing policies that prevent inappropriate access or actions that may be in conflict with each other.

  • Audit Reporting and Analytics: Ensure audit readiness and quickly demonstrate compliance with pre-defined audit reports.

IdentityIQ Lifecycle Manager

Lifecycle Manager helps your organization manage changes to access through user-friendly self-service requests and lifecycle events for fast, automated delivery of access to users.

  • Access Request: Single, self-service interface for requesting and approving access empowers business users to request and manage access to resources without burdening IT while adhering to policies.

  • Automated Provisioning: Automatically detect and trigger changes to a user's access based on a user joining, moving within, or leaving an organization. Reduce risk by automatically changing or removing accounts and access in an appropriate manner with automated role and attribute based access.

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

  • Access Modeling: Use an AI-driven approach to instantly generate and implement access role models that align with your evolving business.

  • Recommendation Engine: Incorporate AI-based recommendations to help reviewers safely decide if access should be approved or revoked.

Privileged Account Management Module

IdentityIQ Privileged Account Management module provides a standardized approach for extending critical identity governance processes and controls to highly privileged accounts, enabling IdentityIQ to be used as a central platform to govern standard and privileged accounts.

Connectors and Integration Modules

SailPoint's extensive connector library and advanced integrations let organizations connect and govern access to all types of digital identities across evolving on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments. This includes more than 100 out-of-the-box connectors across a variety of critical areas:

  • IT Service Management

  • Accelerate day one productivity by rapidly on-boarding new apps

  • Continuously adapt to change through customizable controls and policies

  • Ensure access adheres to data privacy and compliance regulations

Cloud Access Management

Discover and protect access across all your cloud platforms and resources. SailPoint Cloud Access Management allows you to get complete visibility and control across your cloud infrastructure and workloads, detect potential anomalies, and better enforce access policies across all users.

Password Manager

IdentityIQ Password Manager delivers a simple-to-use solution for managing user passwords across cloud and on-premises applications policies from any desktop browser or mobile device. By providing intuitive self-service and delegated administration options to manage passwords while enforcing enterprise-grade password, IdentityIQ enables businesses to reduce operational costs and boost productivity.

Access Risk Management

Access Risk Management automates real-time access risk analysis, simplifies GRC processes, and even identifies a potential user's risks before access is granted. Centralize all access risk governance within SailPoint's identity platform for:

  • Unified Risk Management: Experience comprehensive, seamless governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) and identity protection.

  • Enterprise-wide Visibility: Get a full view of your separation of duties (SOD)violations including risk simulations across applications before access is provisioned.

  • <![CDATA[]]>Compliance: Streamline GRC processes, access reviews, emergency access management and reduce audit deficiencies and compliance violations.

SaaS Management

SaaS Management broadens your identity security visibility so you can uncover and mitigate hidden access risks due to shadow IT and over-provisioned accounts. Bring all SaaS apps under centralized management and governance to avoid toxic access combinations and security risks:

  • Visibility: Gain a complete view of your entire SaaS footprint including any hidden apps and access.

  • Control: Start managing with a seamless process from discovery to governance, ensuring every app is protected with the right identity security controls.

  • Compliance: Strengthen your security and compliance stance with end-to-end identity and access strategy.

Identity Security Platform

SailPoint's Identity Security Platform lays the foundation for effective and scalable IAM within the enterprise. It establishes a common framework that centralizes identity data, captures business policy, models roles, and takes a risk-based, proactive approach to managing users and resources. The platform is fully extensible, providing robust analytics which transforms disparate and technical identity data into relevant business information, resource connectivity that allows organizations to directly connect IdentityIQ to applications running in the datacenter or in the cloud, and APIs and a plugin framework to allow customers and partners to extend IdentityIQ to meet a wide array of needs. An open platform allows organizations to build a single preventive and detective control model that supports all identity business processes, across all applications – in the datacenter and the cloud.

Access History

Access History helps organizations track the history of access and attribute changes for identities. You can confirm that attributes, entitlements, and access were provisioned, changed, or removed as expected, discover which identities have entitlements to a given application and how they were acquired, and export Access History results to csv files to document how access stands on a specific date.
