IdentityIQ Governance Platform

Overview

Establish a Centralized Framework for Identity Governance
The Governance Platform serves as the foundation for managing enterprise-wide identity management processes by centralizing roles, risk and policy and by storing rich identity data in the Identity Warehouse.

Together, these integrated capabilities allow organizations to build preventive and detective controls that support critical identity business processes, including access certifications, access requests, lifecycle management and provisioning.

The Governance Platform includes the following key capabilities:

• Identity Warehouse – Centralize identity data across resources to provide the foundation for identity compliance and lifecycle management
• Role Management – Mine, model and manage roles to align access privileges with job functions
• Policy Management – Define, detect and enforce policy during access request, certification and provisioning processes
• Risk Management – Assign risk scores to users and systems based on multiple factors to strategically prioritize identity compliance activities
• Provisioning Broker – Bridge the gap between business processes that define and drive changes and technical processes that implement those changes
