Saviynt

Saviynt is a globally leading provider of cloud-native identity and access solutions. Headquartered in the USA, the company helps organizations securely manage digital identities, access, and risks in hybrid IT landscapes.

With the Saviynt Enterprise Identity Cloud, Saviynt offers a unified platform for Identity Governance & Administration, Application Access Governance, Privileged Access Management, Third-Party Access Governance, and Cloud Security Governance. The solution combines automation, risk analysis, and compliance functions in a cloud-native architecture.

Saviynt is particularly well suited for organizations that want to modernize their identity security strategy, meet regulatory requirements, and centrally control access across cloud, SaaS, and on-premises systems. Thanks to strong cloud compatibility and extensive integration options, Saviynt is regarded as a powerful SaaS solution for modern identity security.

The Saviynt portfolio is based on the Saviynt Enterprise Identity Cloud. The platform is modular and was specifically designed for modern, dynamic organizations that want to centrally manage identities, roles, access, and risks.

Saviynt combines Identity Governance & Administration (IGA), Access Lifecycle Management, Application Access Governance, Privileged Access Management, and Cloud Security Governance in one integrated SaaS platform. This creates a 360-degree view of identities, permissions, roles, risks, and compliance requirements.

The Saviynt Enterprise Identity Cloud is a cloud-native identity security platform for organizations with complex IAM requirements. It supports both cloud and on-premises applications and can be integrated into existing IT and security landscapes.

Typical target systems include SAP, Microsoft Entra ID, Salesforce, Oracle EBS, and other business-critical applications, among others. Through connectors, automation, and policy functions, organizations can centrally control access and specifically reduce risk.

The Saviynt platform is modular and addresses various IAM areas:

• Identity Governance & Administration – transparency and control over permissions

With Saviynt, organizations can manage identities and access rights across the entire lifecycle. This includes automated onboarding and offboarding, access requests, approval processes, recertifications, policy management, and role-based access control.

The platform helps organizations trace at all times who has access to which applications, systems, and data. This allows permissions to be better controlled, audit requirements to be met more efficiently, and security risks to be reduced.

• Application Access Governance – control over business-critical applications

Saviynt offers strong Application Access Governance functions. Organizations can use them to control and monitor access to business-critical applications such as SAP or Oracle EBS with fine granularity.

Particularly important here are segregation-of-duties analyses (SOD), role-based access concepts and comprehensive audit reporting. This allows risks in core business processes to be identified at an early stage and regulatory requirements to be implemented more effectively.

• Privileged Access Management – protecting privileged access

Saviynt supports Privileged Access Management for privileged accounts and especially sensitive access. Features such as just-in-time access, zero standing privileges, session recording, and secrets management help provide privileged permissions in a controlled and time-limited way.
This allows organizations to reduce the attack surface of privileged accounts while ensuring that administrators and technical users are granted access only when it is actually needed.

• Third-Party Access Governance – secure access for external partners

With Third-Party Access Governance, access by external service providers, suppliers, and partners can be centrally managed. Organizations can better control and monitor external identities, permissions, and risks.

This is especially relevant for organizations that work with many external partners or operate in regulated industries. Saviynt helps create transparency over external access and meet security and compliance requirements.

• Cloud Security Governance – security for SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS environments

Saviynt enables Cloud Security Governance for modern cloud landscapes. The platform helps organizations secure SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS environments through policy frameworks, continuous compliance checks, and risk-based access control.

This makes Saviynt particularly well suited for organizations that want to combine their cloud transformation with a strong identity security strategy.

Saviynt is particularly well suited for organizations that want to bring identity governance, access management, privileged access management, and cloud security governance together in one integrated SaaS platform.

Typical use cases include:

• central management of identities and access rights
• automating joiner, mover, and leaver processes
• introducing or modernizing identity governance
• regular recertification of permissions
• implementing role-based access concepts
• controlling access to SAP, Oracle EBS, and other business applications
• analyzing and reducing segregation-of-duties risks
• securing privileged access with just-in-time access
• managing external partner, supplier, and service provider access
• implementing cloud security governance
• supporting audit, risk, and compliance requirements
• building a scalable, cloud-native IAM architecture

Saviynt is especially valuable for organizations with complex permission structures, many target systems, regulatory requirements, and a strong cloud or SaaS strategy. The platform helps organizations implement identity security not in isolation, but as an integrated part of their overall security architecture.

Identity security is a core component of modern compliance and security programs. Organizations must be able to trace at all times who has access to which systems, applications, and data – and whether that access is appropriate, approved, and compliant.

Saviynt helps organizations automate governance processes, assess risks, and continuously review access rights. This makes it possible to meet regulatory requirements more efficiently and reduce audit effort.

This makes Saviynt particularly well suited for organizations with high requirements for compliance and regulatory requirements, for example in connection with DORA, NIS2, SOX, or industry-specific security and audit requirements.

Saviynt stands out through its cloud-native approach and broad coverage of multiple identity security disciplines in a single platform. While many solutions address areas such as identity governance, privileged access management, or application governance separately, Saviynt combines these functions in the Enterprise Identity Cloud.

Particularly notable are:

• cloud-native SaaS architecture
• integrated platform for IGA, PAM, Application Access Governance, and Third-Party Governance
• strong functions for SAP and ERP governance
• risk-based evaluation of access
• automation of identity and governance processes
• support for just-in-time access and zero standing privileges
• extensive integration options with cloud and on-premises systems
• strong focus on compliance, auditability, and regulatory requirements
• AI-supported automation through the Saviynt AI Agent

Compared to classic IAM or governance solutions, Saviynt offers a modern, cloud-based platform that brings together identities, applications, privileged access, and risk. This allows organizations to implement their identity security strategy in a more holistic and scalable way.

With the new Saviynt AI Agent, Saviynt is entering the field of AI-supported identity security in its entirety, no longer limited to identity governance alone. The agent uses modern machine learning algorithms and natural language processing (NLP) to automate decisions in governance processes and provide recommendations for role optimizations or risk analyses. Examples of AI use include:

• Automatic detection of permission anomalies and risky access requests.
• Intelligent suggestions for role-based access corrections.
• Chat-based control of identity workflows through natural language input.
• Building connectors within minutes thanks to AI

Saviynt follows a pure Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model and offers transparent, flexible licensing. The subscription is based on the number of managed identities, the modules booked, and the number of connected target systems. This allows organizations to scale their IAM solution exactly to their needs – from smaller pilot projects to global rollouts with several tens of thousands of identities.
 

Saviynt is provided as a cloud-native Software-as-a-Service. Organizations benefit from a scalable platform, regular updates, and a modern operating architecture without complex local infrastructure.

At the same time, Saviynt can be integrated into hybrid IT landscapes. Cloud applications, SaaS platforms, on-premises applications, ERP systems, directory services, HR systems, ITSM solutions, and security tools can be connected. This makes Saviynt suitable both for cloud-first strategies and for organizations that want to gradually transition existing systems into a modern IAM cloud architecture.

Operation as a managed service is also available through IPG. In this case, IPG takes on configuration, operation, monitoring, and support of the Saviynt environment.
