C1 vs Linx
Linx sees your identity environment. C1 runs it.
Linx built a risk graph and is adding governance on top. C1 built governance from day one: lifecycle automation, just-in-time access, access reviews, and real-time enforcement for AI agents, in production at Instacart, Qualtrics, and DigitalOcean.

Time to value
“The biggest ROI we have seen is in time. We have communicated to leadership and management our estimates and I'm very confident that the tool pays for itself.”

Roberto Mateo, VP of It Business Operations
Full visibility and control
“A huge win for me is the overall visibility. I don't have to log into ten different places to figure out who has access to what – I can just go to C1.”

Paul Yoo, Head of Security Platform
Simple, intuitive design
“One day you requested AWS access through IT tickets. The next day you didn't. We didn't have to roll it out in stages — just a clean cutover.”

Stephen Darling, Staff Infrastructure Engineer
Committed to innovation
“None of the other options in the market were simple for us. C1 was incredibly inquisitive, collaborative, iterative, and innovative.”

Tim Lisko, Director of Product and Infrastructure Security
Real security impact
“We've appreciably improved our security posture without spending a bunch of time and money, which is a huge benefit for our customers.”

Why C1 for IGA
The business case for modern IGA
Strengthen your security posture
Discover orphaned accounts and overprivileged users. Detect and remediate identity-based risks before they become incidents.

Automate the full identity lifecycle
Onboard, move, and offboard users with automated JML workflows — not manual tickets. Handle nuanced mover scenarios and custom policy logic that most platforms can't touch.

Ace every access review
Automate review scoping, assignment, and certification workflows. Finish reviews fast — without rubber-stamping.

Move to zero standing privileges
Enable just-in-time access for critical infrastructure and sensitive resources. Remove standing access without slowing your team down.

Enable every technical team
Modern APIs, CLI support, Terraform for configuration-as-code, and webhooks for workflow orchestration. Built for the teams that care how things work under the hood.
