What it is

EmpowerID Identity Governance manages identity lifecycles and access across cloud, on-premises, and SAP environments. It handles joiner, mover, and leaver changes, access requests, certifications, reviews, roles, delegated administration, and separation-of-duties remediation. The platform continuously compares actual access with policy, applies governed changes, and records policy, approval, fulfillment, remediation, and verification evidence. Automatic recalculation and fulfillment updates compliant access as people change roles or leave. EmpowerID lists more than 300 pre-built connectors, including Active Directory, Azure or Entra ID, SAP, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Workday, AWS, Oracle, and Windows Server. Supported protocols include SAML 2.0, OpenID Connect, SCIM 2.0, and OAuth 2.0. The Identity Fabric can run as SaaS or in customer data centers, private, public, or sovereign clouds in dedicated single-tenant environments. It is self-hosted and web-accessible. Pricing is on request. Cloud Identity Service customers need the Cloud Gateway app on at least one on-premises Windows computer.
