Govern identities.

Identity Governance creates transparency, rules and control over who in the organisation is allowed to access what – traceable, secure and audit-ready.

Identity Governance and Administration is becoming the foundation of modern Identity Security. In complex organisations, it is not enough to grant access once. Organisations must know at all times which identities exist, which rights they hold, why these rights were granted and whether they are still required.

Challenges for organisations:

Too many manual processes Unclear responsibilities Outdated roles Over-privileged users Orphaned accounts Unknown entitlements Critical role combinations Missing traceability Growing audit pressure

KOGIT helps organisations to:

  1. 1.

    Make identities visible

    Who exists in the system — human and non-human?
  2. 2.

    Assign entitlements in a traceable way

    Who gets which rights — and why?
  3. 3.

    Structure roles cleanly

    Which accesses belong to which task, position or function?
  4. 4.

    Identify risks

    Where do over-privilege, critical combinations (SoD) or unknown rights arise?

  5. 5.

    Review access regularly


    Who confirms that entitlements are still correct?

  6. 6.

    Establish auditability

    Which decisions are documented, auditable and compliant?

The building blocks of controlled Identity Security.

Identity Governance is not created by a single measure, but through the interplay of clearly defined building blocks. They govern how identities are created, permissions granted, roles structured, access reviewed and risks controlled.
KOGIT combines these building blocks with the technology of leading software vendors.

Identity Lifecycle

Identity Lifecycle Management controls identities, user accounts and permissions across their entire lifecycle – from joining and role changes to leaving. This means access rights are automatically granted, adjusted or revoked.

Governance and continuous compliance

Governance establishes binding rules for handling identities and permissions. Continuous compliance monitors adherence to these rules on an ongoing basis, detects deviations early and enables traceable correction.

Role models

Role models bundle permissions based on tasks, functions and organisational requirements. They make access structures easier to understand, more scalable and easier to control.

Processes, workflows & recertifications

Workflows ensure that access is requested, reviewed and approved in a traceable way. Certifications ensure that existing rights are regularly reviewed and confirmed.

Digital permission concepts

Digital permission concepts define who is allowed to access which applications and resources. They translate rules from paper, processes and business units into controllable digital models.

Segregation of Duties &
Risk Management

Segregation of Duties &
Risk Management

Segregation of Duties prevents critical role combinations and reduces risks arising from excessive or overly far-reaching permissions that undermine the necessary separation of functions. Risk Management makes visible where access becomes a security or compliance problem.

Audit readiness

Audit readiness ensures that decisions on user accounts, roles and permissions are transparently documented and verifiable – for internal audit, external auditors and regulatory requirements.

Automation

Automation reduces manual effort in the creation, modification, approval and removal of user accounts and permissions. This becomes particularly important as the number of human and non-human identities continues to rise.

Just-in-Time Access

Just-in-Time Access provides privileged permissions in particular only when they are really needed – time-limited, approved and logged.

AI-powered permission management

Artificial intelligence analyses permissions, roles and access patterns, detects anomalies and supports those responsible in their decisions. With the growing number of non-human identities and AI agents, this support becomes even more important.

Practical example:

At an insurance company, a case handler in the life insurance division may need access to that division’s contracts, systems and documents.

If this person moves to the health insurance division, old rights must be revoked and new rights granted.

Identity Governance ensures that this move takes place in a traceable, compliant and controlled way. Access to life insurance contracts is removed and new permissions for health insurance contracts are provisioned – while every change to permissions remains fully auditable.

Without control,
access becomes risk.

Without effective Identity Governance, permissions can become an uncontrolled risk. Over-privileged users, orphaned accounts or critical role combinations go undetected – with potential consequences for security, compliance and economic stability.

KOGIT Identity Security Process

Clarity first.
Control follows.

KOGIT brings structure to this complexity. With the principle Sense, Reveal, Shape, Activate, Advance we guide organisations from initial orientation to lasting control of their Identity Security.
