Identity and Access Management

Identity and Access Management

Unified. Governed. Policy-driven.

SafePaaS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is your identity control plane, centralizing all human and non‑human identities so every access decision follows least privilege, policy, and business risk. In a world where identity‑based attacks drive most incidents, IAM is your frontline defense.

All identities. Any application. Any environment.

Proven impact for SafePaaS customers

1

40–60% less effort for provisioning and de‑provisioning by orchestrating joiner/mover/leaver workflows from one control plane.

2

Fewer identity‑driven incidents by shrinking the credential and entitlement attack surface across ERP, SaaS, and cloud.

3

Faster, cleaner audits with continuous SoD and access governance instead of manual, quarter‑end scrambles.

Why modern IAM now

  • Materially reduce identity risk and strengthen overall security posture with centralized, fine‑grained policy enforcement—essential as up to 86% of breaches now involve credential theft or misuse.
  • Accelerate onboarding and change by replacing ticket‑driven workflows—enterprises currently take an average of six days to grant new hires full access to critical applications, creating avoidable security and productivity risk.
  • Automate high‑volume identity tasks (reviews, SoD checks, provisioning) to free operations teams for higher‑value work, with customers often cutting provisioning effort by 40–60% through a single control plane.
SafePaaS adds one centralized identity control layer that standardizes policies, decisions, and evidence across SaaS, cloud, and hybrid environments. Human and non‑human identities—from employees to bots, service accounts, and API keys—are governed together so that access always tracks to policy and business risk rather than ad‑hoc permissions.
Modern IAM must reduce identity risk, keep you compliant, and improve operational efficiency while enabling cloud and SaaS adoption—not just provision accounts.

How SafePaaS customers drive value with IAM

22%

Most major breaches now start with stolen or misused credentials rather than zero‑day exploits—stolen credentials are the top initial access vector in recent breach reports (around 22% of breaches).

79%

Attackers increasingly abuse valid accounts and permissions, with up to 79% of web application compromises tied to breached credentials and 56% of recent compromises linked to valid logins without MFA.

74%

Legacy IAM stacks, manual processes, and disconnected tools leave excessive, toxic, and dormant access across critical systems, contributing to 74% of breaches involving the abuse of privileged credentials.

Fortune 500 Insurance Company Modernizes Identity and Access Management with SafePaaS

Industry: Insurance
Region: US-based company with global operations
Solution: Identity & Access Management (IAM)

A leading Fortune 500 insurance company leveraged SafePaaS IAM to modernize identity and access management across ERP, cloud, and legacy systems. By placing identity at the center of every access decision, the company reduced risk, streamlined compliance, improved operational efficiency, and accelerated business enablement. SafePaaS IAM ensures secure, policy-driven access for both human and non-human identities while enabling business agility.

Challenges

The company faced several identity and access management challenges:

01

Security & Risk
  • Excessive, dormant, or unmanaged access for human and non-human identities

  • Difficulty enforcing least privilege and segregation of duties (SoD) at scale

  • High likelihood of identity-driven breaches due to entitlement sprawl

02

Compliance
  • Pressure before audits and weak, scattered evidence of access activity

  • Manual effort required to prove design and operating effectiveness for SOX and other mandates

03

Operational Inefficiency
  • Manual onboarding, access changes, and reviews consumed weeks of IT, security, and business-owner time

  • Repetitive access reviews and certifications were difficult to complete and interpret

04

Business Enablement
  • Slow time-to-access for new hires, projects, and partners delayed innovation

  • Cloud and SaaS adoption slowed by access risk and compliance concerns

SafePaaS IAM Solution

01

Identity Risk and Privileged Control
  • Detect and remediate risky entitlements and anomalous activity across critical applications
  • Extend control to privileged users and sessions with time-bound, policy-aligned monitoring

02

Lifecycle and Governed Provisioning
  • Orchestrate joiner, mover, and leaver events across ERP, cloud, and legacy systems from a single control plane
  • Provision access on day one, check against policy and SoD rules, and revoke at exit to eliminate stale or orphaned accounts
  • Empower business users with guided self-service access requests and approvals

03

Policy-Driven, Zero Trust Access
  • Replace static roles with dynamic, context-aware access policies across hybrid environments

  • Use real-time signals—department, role, project, location—to grant, limit, or step up access

  • Secure, frictionless access via SSO, federation, strong MFA, and risk-based policies

04

Human and Non-Human Identity Governance
  • Discover and inventory service accounts, APIs, and bots, bringing them under the same governance model as workforce identities

  • Apply least privilege, automate lifecycle events, and prevent silent privilege creep

05

Continuous Governance and Analytics
  • Answer “who has access to what, why, and at what risk?” in seconds

  • Detect SoD conflicts, excessive privileges, and policy violations continuously, not just at audit time

  • Use role mining and insights to right-size roles and recommend safer entitlements

Business Impact

By implementing SafePaaS IAM, the insurance company achieved measurable benefits across four key drivers:

Security & Risk

Reduced identity-driven risks and minimized exposure from privileged access

Compliance

Faster, more predictable audits with complete, trustworthy evidence

Operational Efficiency

Reduced manual effort for onboarding, access changes, and reviews

Business Enablement

Accelerated access for new hires, projects, and cloud/SaaS initiatives, supporting faster innovation

Driver-to-capability overview

Driver SafePaaS IAM capability
Security & risk Centralized policies, least-privilege enforcement, SoD controls, and privileged access governance across human and non-human identities to reduce identity-driven incidents.
Compliance Continuous access governance and evidence that answers “who has access to what, why, and at what risk?” for SOX and other key frameworks.
Operational efficiency Automated joiner/mover/leaver, governed provisioning.
Business enablement Fast, governed access for new hires, projects, partners, and services across SaaS, cloud, and ERP—supporting transformation without losing control.

SafePaaS IAM allows companies to keep identity at the center of every access decision for human and non-human identities alike, enabling secure, compliant, and efficient operations while accelerating business transformation.
