EmpowerID Identity Governance
Dublin, Ohio, United States
What it is
EmpowerID Identity Governance manages joiners, movers, leavers and access decisions across cloud, on-premises and SAP environments. It continuously reconciles actual access with policy, recalculates compliant permissions and records governed changes. Controls include access requests, certifications, reviews, roles, delegated administration and separation-of-duties remediation. Policy, approval, fulfillment, remediation and verification are linked as evidence. 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. Identity Fabric can run as SaaS or in a customer data center, private cloud, public cloud or sovereign cloud within a dedicated single-tenant environment. Cloud Identity Service customers must install the Cloud Gateway app on at least one on-premises Windows computer. Pricing is available on request. Standard cloud support is included; premium support costs extra.
