Achieve compliance faster with centralized Identity governance

Yes, Okta Identity Governance allows admins to schedule periodic access certifications. Managers receive automated notifications to review and confirm the permissions of their team members. This proactive approach prevents 'privilege creep' and provides the documented evidence that auditors require to verify that sensitive systems are only being accessed by authorized individuals.

Okta Identity Governance automates access requests through its self-service portal and Slack/Teams integrations. Employees can request access to specific applications or high-privilege groups, and Okta automatically routes the request to the correct manager for approval. This ensures that access is granted quickly for productivity while maintaining a complete, auditable record of the approval process.

Okta Identity Governance improves efficiency by replacing manual, spreadsheet-based access reviews with automated workflows. By empowering employees to request their own access and automating the certification cycle, IT teams can save hundreds of hours every quarter, allowing them to focus on high-value security projects instead of administrative compliance tasks.

Entitlements in Okta Identity Governance allow for fine-grained control over what a user can actually do within an application, such as 'Admin' vs. 'Viewer' roles in Salesforce. OIG manages these entitlements as part of the unified user profile, ensuring that when an employee's role changes, their specific permissions within downstream apps are automatically updated or revoked.

Okta Identity Governance (OIG) is a unified IAM and governance platform that streamlines access requests, certifications, entitlement management, and reporting. By integrating governance directly into the core identity platform, OIG guarantees that employees only have the access they require, minimizing security risks and helping organizations meet strict compliance standards through automated, real-time reviews.
