Use Cases¶
Concrete scenarios to anchor stories, demos, and slides. Each is a "before → with Identity Atlas → outcome" arc you can dramatize.
1. The cross-system access review¶
Before: An auditor asks "who can approve payments in SAP and has admin in Entra ID?" The answer takes a week of exports and VLOOKUPs.
With Identity Atlas: Both systems are synced into one model. The question is a filter on the matrix.
Outcome: Reviews go from spreadsheet archaeology to a query — and the answer is defensible, with history behind it.
2. Finding the access nobody reviewed¶
Before: Over-privileged and stale access accumulates silently. Nobody knows which identities were never part of a certification.
With Identity Atlas: Risk scoring flags over-privileged and unreviewed identities; IST-vs-SOLL surfaces access that exists but was never governed.
Outcome: You walk into the audit with the risky 2% already identified instead of being surprised by it.
3. Onboarding a non-Microsoft system in an afternoon¶
Before: Every new source system means a new bespoke integration project.
With Identity Atlas: Export to the canonical CSV schema (or build a small crawler against the Ingest API), import, done — it lands in the same model as everything else.
Outcome: SAP, SailPoint, Omada, or a homegrown app joins the picture without a months-long integration.
4. "What could this person access last quarter?"¶
Before: Point-in-time access is unknowable once memberships change.
With Identity Atlas: Row-level audit history reconstructs exactly what an identity could access on any past date.
Outcome: Incident response and forensic reviews get a real timeline, not a guess.
5. Putting a risk score on identity sprawl¶
Before: Leadership asks "how risky is our identity estate?" and the honest answer is a shrug.
With Identity Atlas: A four-layer engine scores every identity, tuned to your industry, with analyst overrides and reasoning — and no sensitive data leaves your environment.
Outcome: A defensible, explainable risk picture you can show a board, and a prioritized list to actually work down.
6. Catching the non-human identities¶
Before: Service principals, managed identities, and AI agents pile up unmanaged and unmonitored.
With Identity Atlas: Non-human identities are detected and classified automatically, scored alongside everything else.
Outcome: The fastest-growing, least-watched part of the estate finally shows up on the map.
Demo tip: the fastest "wow" is Load Demo Data → open the matrix → filter IST/SOLL → open a high-risk identity's detail page. No tenant required.
