What is identity governance and administration?

Identity governance and administration connects identity and access data to the policies, decisions, actions, and evidence that keep access appropriate throughout its lifecycle.

How is AI-native identity governance different from legacy IGA?

AI-native identity governance uses connected, current identity data and workflow automation instead of relying only on static roles, periodic campaigns, tickets, and spreadsheets.

How does C1 automate joiner, mover, and leaver workflows?

C1 Lifecycle carries identity changes through policy, approval, provisioning, and revocation across supported systems while keeping the identity record and resulting actions together.

How does AI improve access requests and access reviews?

AI assistance organizes identity, entitlement, peer, and risk context for each decision. Policy can handle approved routine cases, while reviewers remain responsible for decisions that require judgment.

How does C1 manage separation of duties and remediation?

C1 Comply records review and SoD decisions, while C1 Lifecycle can route follow-up and carry supported remediation through connected systems.

How does C1 retain identity governance evidence?

C1 keeps the request, policy, reviewer decision, provisioning or remediation action, and resulting status in the same product workflow. Unconnected targets still require a separate manual action.
