Securest UAR — Continuous Access Management

Unmanaged access is the leading cause of breaches — and the leading exception in audits.

Securest UAR runs access management continuously across every application you own — including the non-SSO tools your compliance platform has never connected to. When someone leaves or changes role, access is detected and revoked in real time.

We turn the quarterly access review into a full-time background activity. The audit evidence is the byproduct.

Included in every Securest engagement. No SSO upgrade required for coverage.

The problem

Your platform covers the apps it connects to. The rest is done offline once a quarter.

Every company running SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, or PCI has the same shape of program: the compliance platform reconciles what its integrations reach, and everything else is exported, pasted into a sheet, emailed to a manager, and attested by hand. That offline remainder is never small, it is never current, and it is where both the breaches and the audit exceptions come from.

01
The window nobody is watching

Someone leaves on a Tuesday. The quarterly review runs eleven weeks later. Every day in between is access that should not exist.

02
The apps that never connected

Most companies run 60–90 applications and their GRC platform reaches a dozen. The tools bought on a card and the consoles with no SCIM are reviewed by hand, or not at all.

03
Approvals without context

Managers confirm names on a spreadsheet with no permission detail, no last login, and no way to act on what they see. Auditors know this and test it.

04
Marked for revocation is not revoked

A reviewer rejects an account and the record closes there. Whether anyone actually removed it is a separate, unverified, usually unmeasured act.

Foundation

Identity resolution is what makes every other flag believable.

An access review that lists accounts app by app produces noise. We resolve every account to a real human across your HRIS, identity provider, and applications — then keep the provenance of how that account came to exist. Reviewers stop guessing whether a flag is real.

Contractor-to-employee conversions

The same human arriving twice under two identities, two emails, and two start dates — reconciled to one person with one access history.

Multiple and aliased accounts

Personal-domain logins, name changes, plus-addressing, and second admin accounts all attach to the person who holds them.

Service accounts and shared logins

Classified as non-human identities with a named owner and a justification, instead of silently dismissed by whoever ran the last review.

Account provenance

When the account was created, when it was last modified, who provisioned it, and the change log pulled from the source system where one exists.

Employment dates in view

Start and termination dates sit beside the account, so an account predating a start date or outliving a termination is obvious rather than inferred.

Two reports you do not have today

What was never checked, and what was never actually removed.

A completed review tells you what your reviewers looked at. It does not tell you what they never saw, and it does not tell you whether the revocations they ordered ever happened. Both are findings waiting to be written by someone else.

Coverage-gap evidence
You reviewed 41 applications. We identified 229 in your environment.

Of the 188 unreviewed, 23 appear to hold customer data or production access and 11 have never appeared in any access review since you started. Produced by reconciling your full inventory against what was actually certified — no new connectors required.

The long tail

Non-SSO apps are the review, not the exception.

Most access reviews have lingering applications that never connect into the compliance platform, and those are exactly the tools that get skipped. Where an API or SCIM endpoint exists, we use it. Where it does not, we collect the user list with a purpose-built script, a structured import, or a governed task with proof of completion — and it stays in scope with the same evidence trail as everything else.

No SSO tax

Coverage never depends on upgrading an application to an enterprise plan for SCIM or SAML. For 100 users across a handful of common tools, that premium alone runs into five figures a year.

How it works

Continuous by default. The quarterly artifact is a byproduct.

1
Inventory
Establish what actually exists

Applications from your GRC platform, identity-provider OAuth grants, MDM inventory, and expense data — reconciled into one list with an in-scope decision recorded for each.

2
Resolve
Attach every account to a human

Accounts across every connected and collected system resolve to canonical people, with provenance and employment dates attached.

3
Act
Detect and revoke as it happens

Terminations, transfers, and privilege drift are detected the day they occur and revoked through the application's own interface behind a named approval.

4
Prove
Verify, then package

Revocations are re-checked against the source system, exceptions carry human attestation, and the period closes as a signed package written back to your GRC platform.

Reviewer experience

Twelve decisions, not five hundred and eighty-four.

Because access is managed continuously, the only things left for a human are the genuine exceptions. Each arrives with the context a decision needs — role, privilege depth, last login, who provisioned it and when, and a recommendation — delegated to the application owner who actually knows.

Review by exception — the clean accounts never reach a human

Capabilities

Not just who has access — what that access can do.

01
Privilege depth, not just presence

Standing admin rights, dormant admins, privileged accounts without MFA, and production access held by someone who transferred months ago.

02
Non-human identity inventory

Service accounts, API tokens, and shared logins inventoried with a named owner and a justification — the population most reviews quietly skip.

03
Shadow IT discovery

Applications surfaced from identity-provider OAuth grants and MDM inventory, feeding straight into the coverage gap rather than a separate report.

04
Revocation behind an approval

Nothing is removed without a named human approving it. We execute, record the confirmation, and never act silently.

05
Append-only audit trail

Every sync, finding, decision, revocation, and verification written immutably from day one. When the auditor asks for history, it exists.

06
Framework-mapped evidence

Mapped to the access controls in SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and PCI DSS, and written back into the GRC platform you already run.

Evidence

Fix the risk first. The audit artifact falls out the back.

Because access is managed as it changes, the record is already complete when the period closes. Written back to Secureframe, Vanta, or Drata against whichever framework you are certifying.

Where this sits

The control is required of everyone. The tooling was built for the enterprise.

Enterprise IGA
Built for ten thousand employees, not two hundred

The enterprise identity suites assume a dedicated identity team, a long implementation, and a budget that does not exist below the enterprise. Mid-market companies are held to the same control with none of the apparatus.

SaaS management tools
Optimising spend is not managing risk

Tools that frame access as seat reclamation stop where it is cheap to reach and sell to whoever owns the software budget. Unused licences are a line item; unrevoked access is a breach and an audit exception.

GRC platforms
One module in a suite, and the campaign is the whole of it

Access reviews inside a compliance platform automate the campaign and the paperwork. They were never built to find the applications you did not connect, or to verify that a revocation actually happened.

Securest runs it as a managed capability.
The full system and user inventory, HR-driven offboarding detection, revocation through your identity provider and connected applications, purpose-built collection for everything that is not SSO, and audit-defensible evidence — operated by the same U.S.-based compliance team that runs your engagement.
Keep the compliance platform you already run.
We read Secureframe, Vanta, or Drata as the personnel source of truth and write evidence back against the controls already in your library. Nothing about your audit relationship or framework mapping changes — the access control simply stops being the weak one.
Who it is for

For the teams accountable for access without a dedicated identity function.

Founders & CEOs

You carry the certification commitment and the breach risk, and access sits under both. Get managed access control without hiring an identity team or pulling engineers off the roadmap.

IT & engineering managers

You are the person who actually revokes. See what is still live, act on it in one place, and stop reconstructing offboarding history from memory the week before fieldwork.

Compliance leads

Walk in with the population, the coverage statement, the decisions, and the revocation proof already assembled — and no spreadsheet appendix to defend.

Start with the coverage gap report.

We will reconcile your application inventory against what your last review actually certified, and show you the applications that were never in it. No connectors, no migration, and it stands on its own before you change anything.
