Govern
Govern every agent & non-human identity
Centralize lifecycle governance, enforce least privilege, and maintain auditability for all AI agents.
Challenge & solution
Enforce policy at machine speed
As AI agents and non-human identities proliferate across platforms. Unmanaged access rights and missing human owners create massive security and compliance blind spots. SailPoint Agentic Fabric™ brings enterprise-grade lifecycle governance, ownership tracking, and access reviews to every agent and credential.
Before SailPoint:
- Over-permissioned AI agents and machine identities operating with excessive, "always on” access rights.
- Missing human ownership leading to unmanaged, orphaned bots, keys, and service accounts.
- Manual access certification campaigns unable to keep pace with dynamic AI agent deployments.
- Inconsistent governance policies fragmented across cloud ecosystems, developer tools, and SaaS apps.
After SailPoint:
- Automated least privilege enforcement continuously rightsizing permissions based on actual usage.
- Explicit human ownership mapping for every AI agent, script, API key, and machine account.
- Dynamic, continuous access certification campaigns tailored specifically to autonomous agent behaviors.
- A centralized control plane extending unified governance policies to every AI boundary.

- Unified compliance dashboards aligned with EU AI Act, NIS2, and SOC 2 standards.
Additional features
Built for enterprise governance
Dynamic, policy-based access
Go beyond static rules. Enforce access policies based on identity type, risk score, and real-time operational context to ensure every agent and bot operates within its intended boundaries.
Automated provisioning
Automatically grant, modify, and revoke credentials for AI agents as business needs shift. Eliminate manual errors and ensure identities have the right access at the right time.
Separation of Duties (SoD)
Prevent toxic combinations of permissions. Automatically detect and block AI agents and service accounts from accumulating conflicting entitlements that create security risks.
Secrets lifetime management
Enforce strict expiration, rotation, and usage policies for API keys, certificates, and other secrets. Prevent secret sprawl and reduce the risk of compromised credentials.
Intelligent role & entitlement modeling
Tame complexity by automatically analyzing and grouping machine permissions into logical, business-centric roles. This simplifies administration, access reviews, and policy enforcement.
Compliance & regulatory mapping
Simplify audits by mapping non-human identity controls directly to major cybersecurity frameworks and AI regulations like the EU AI Act, NIS2, and SOC 2.
Automated lineage & attribution
Maintain a complete, unchangeable audit trail connecting every non-human identity, AI agent, and credential to its human owner and the data it accesses.
Unified human & AI governance
Manage all identities—human, AI agent, and non-human—from a single, centralized control plane to ensure consistent policy enforcement and visibility across your entire enterprise.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about SailPoint Agentic Fabric
How do SailPoint Agentic Fabric and SailPoint Human Fabric work together?
SailPoint Human Fabric governs human identities and their access rights, while SailPoint Agentic Fabric extends the same policy, audit, and governance framework to AI agents, machine identities, and non-human secrets—providing a unified control plane across both human and non-human identities.
What happens when an AI agent's human owner leaves the organization?
SailPoint Agentic Fabric ensures that every machine and agent maintains continuous, uninterrupted human accountability. When a human owner departs, changes roles, or undergoes a lifecycle event, the platform automatically triggers succession planning workflows to reassign ownership of orphaned agents, bots, and secrets to a designated successor. This proactive approach ensures that machine identities are never left unmanaged or unaccountable, preserving security and compliance without disrupting operational workflows.
How does SailPoint handle governance for secrets, tokens, and API keys?
SailPoint delivers deep technical visibility for credentials as non-human identities, establishing clear lifecycle policies, automated rotation, expiration tracking, and human owner accountability across cloud vaults, developer tools, and SaaS platforms.
Can we enforce least privilege on autonomous AI agents?
Yes. SailPoint continuously compares an agent's assigned entitlements against its actual usage metrics, surfacing over-permissioned states and enabling automated rightsizing to restrict access to only what is strictly necessary.
How do access certifications work for non-human identities?
SailPoint groups machine permissions and presents them to assigned human owners or system managers in clean, context-rich access review campaigns, complete with AI-driven recommendations on whether to maintain or revoke access.
Can SailPoint govern AI agents that are created and destroyed rapidly (aka ephemeral agents)?
Yes. SailPoint is designed for dynamic environments. It uses automated, policy-driven lifecycle management to provision and deprovision AI agents and their access in real time, ensuring that even temporary agents are fully governed from creation to deletion.
How do you ensure the right person is certifying access for a machine identity?
SailPoint automatically maps every non-human identity to an accountable human owner based on contextual information (e.g., the developer who created a script or the manager of a system). Access certification campaigns are then routed to the correct owner, ensuring that reviews are both efficient and accurate.
Can you create machine accounts is SailPoint Agentic Fabric?
Yes. But more importantly, you can create them securely. SailPoint Agentic Fabric automates the provisioning of machine accounts, ensuring they are "born governed." Instead of just generating a standalone credential, the platform automatically assigns clear human ownership, classifies the machine identity type, and enforces strict, policy-based access controls from day one. This automated lifecycle management ensures that every machine account has exactly the right access upon creation and is intelligently rotated or deprovisioned when it’s no longer needed—preventing the sprawl of risky, unmanaged accounts.
