IdentityNow

Cloud-based identity governance (IGA): IdentityNow (SailPoint) is a SaaS identity governance platform that centralizes control over who has access to what across the enterprise, managing the full identity-and-access lifecycle from the cloud without on-premises governance infrastructure.

Automated provisioning and deprovisioning: The platform automatically grants access when it is approved and removes it when it is no longer warranted, propagating changes to connected source and target systems so that access stays aligned with current need and entitlements are not left orphaned.

Access request and self-service portal: Users request access to applications and entitlements through a self-service catalog, which routes requests through policy checks and approvals, replacing informal email-based access requests with a governed, auditable process.

Access certification and reviews: IdentityNow runs periodic access certification campaigns in which managers and resource owners review and attest to the access their users hold, ensuring entitlements are regularly validated and inappropriate access is revoked.

Role management and role mining: The platform supports defining and managing roles that bundle related entitlements, and can analyze access data to discover candidate roles, simplifying assignment by granting access at the role level rather than per entitlement.
