AccessOwl is a SaaS management and access governance platform designed to integrate with an organization's HRIS, Identity Provider (IdP), and over 400 applications. The system automates user lifecycle management, including onboarding, offboarding, provisioning, and deprovisioning, by utilizing proprietary agentic integrations that do not require SCIM or SAML protocols. It centralizes the administration of software and maintains an auto-updating directory of all vendors and user access data, enabling these functions without changing an organization's existing IdP.
The platform's technical capabilities include shadow IT discovery to scan for unauthorized applications and OAuth scopes, extracting user lists, roles, and permissions. It tracks SaaS spend and software usage to optimize license utilization and provides vendor management features such as automated risk assessments and contract data extraction. For compliance purposes, AccessOwl facilitates automated access reviews and requests, which can be initiated within Slack, and generates evidence for security audits and controls.
