BalkanID + Drata Integration: Continuous Compliance Evidence

Compliance programmes monitor controls. Identity governance is what fills them.

Most compliance platforms excel at tracking whether controls exist and whether evidence has been collected. The gap they cannot close is identity governance itself, who has access, whether it is still appropriate, and whether your lifecycle processes are producing evidence that holds up under scrutiny.

Access reviews that complete without reducing risk

Completion tracking tells you a review happened. It does not tell you the reviewer had the context to make an informed decision. BalkanID ensures every review is pre-populated with last-used data, risk scores, and recommended actions so decisions reflect real governance.

Identity evidence that goes stale between audit cycles

Controls are monitored continuously. But the identity data feeding those controls changes daily. Without continuous governance, the evidence your compliance programme holds reflects a snapshot, not the current state of access across your environment.

Disconnected and legacy systems outside compliance visibility

Compliance platforms cover the systems they can connect to. Legacy applications, on-prem directories, and custom systems sit outside that boundary. BalkanID governs them and feeds their evidence into your compliance programme.

Lifecycle gaps that become audit findings

Delayed provisioning, stale entitlements from role changes, and residual access after terminations are not just security risks. They are the access review failures and offboarding control exceptions that auditors find. BalkanID closes the loop at source.

What BalkanID Continuously Feeds into Drata

Identity governance capabilities. One continuous compliance stream.

Every BalkanID governance action becomes a compliance evidence event that Drata can rely on. Access reviews completed, lifecycle changes actioned, risks remediated, and SoD violations resolved, all continuously, all audit-ready.

Automated JML Lifecycle

Every workforce event becomes a compliance evidence event

BalkanID connects to your HRIS and provisions, recalculates, and deprovisions access the moment a workforce event occurs. Every Joiner, Mover, and Leaver action is logged and linked, giving Drata the lifecycle evidence it needs to pass access provisioning and offboarding controls.

Offboarding verified. Provisioning documented. Control evidence continuous.

Continuous Access Reviews

Access certifications that produce evidence Drata can rely on

BalkanID runs access reviews pre-populated with last-used data, risk scores, peer comparisons, and recommended actions. Approvers make informed decisions. Every outcome is logged as structured evidence that flows into Drata access review controls, replacing the spreadsheet with something auditors and regulators can trust.

Context-rich reviews. Always audit-ready. No manual assembly.

IAM Risk Analyzer

Continuous identity risk findings across every system and identity type

BalkanID continuously scans for excessive privileges, stale credentials, MFA gaps, and SoD violations across human, non-human, and AI agent identities. Every finding is prioritized by severity with recommended remediations, giving Drata the identity risk evidence that most compliance programmes lack between annual assessments.

Risk findings surfaced before auditors find them.

SoD Violation Monitoring

Segregation of duties detected, explained, and documented for Drata

SoD violations across financial and operational workflows are detected continuously, explained in business language, and remediated with a documented trail. For SOC 2, ISO 27001, and SOX compliance, this evidence feeds directly into Drata controls that monitor access conflict management.

SoD violations remediated before your next audit window opens.

Privileged Access via JITPBAC

Just-in-time access replaces standing privilege, and generates evidence

Every JITPBAC grant and revocation is logged with purpose, approver, duration, and outcome. This gives Drata a continuous, time-stamped record of privileged access management, satisfying the privileged access monitoring controls that auditors specifically test for in SOC 2 and ISO 27001.

No standing privilege. Every elevated access event documented.

Disconnected App Governance

Bring every application into your Drata compliance posture

Legacy systems, on-prem applications, and custom environments that Drata cannot natively connect to can still contribute compliance evidence. BalkanID governs access in these systems and surfaces the evidence into your programme, extending Drata's reach beyond its native integration boundary.

Full compliance coverage. Including the long tail.

Use Cases

What BalkanID enables across your compliance programme.

BalkanID extends your compliance platform with continuous identity governance capabilities that go beyond what trust and compliance tools can natively deliver.

ACCESS ANALYSIS

Real-time access analysis with configurable policies

Continuously evaluate who has access to what, across every connected system, against configurable policies that reflect your organization's risk tolerance and compliance obligations.

DYNAMIC UPDATES

Dynamic access updates that keep pace with your workforce

Access entitlements are automatically recalculated and updated as workforce attributes change, ensuring every identity's access profile remains appropriate and documented at all times.

REMEDIATION

Guided remediation for access violations

Every access violation and policy breach surfaces with a clear, recommended remediation path. Findings are explained in business language with actionable next steps, not just a raw policy reference.

RISK MONITORING

Proactive risk monitoring with extended access visibility

Identity risk is monitored continuously across human identities, non-human service accounts, and AI agent credentials, giving your compliance programme risk signals that most platforms never surface.

AUDIT AND SOD

Simplified audits and real-time SoD analysis

Segregation of duties conflicts are detected and analysed in real time across financial, operational, and administrative workflows. Evidence is always current, structured, and ready for your next audit window.

PROVISIONING

Automated provisioning and deprovisioning across cloud and on-prem applications

User and role provisioning requests are automated based on peer analysis and policy, with every grant and revocation logged as structured compliance evidence linked to the triggering event.

INTEGRATION

Seamless integration with connected and disconnected applications

BalkanID governs access in applications with native APIs and in legacy, on-prem, and custom environments without one, ensuring every application in your estate contributes to your compliance posture.

AND MORE

Extensible governance across your entire identity estate

From access graph visualisation and birthright access modelling to non-human identity lifecycle and JITPBAC, BalkanID brings a full IGA capability set to your compliance programme.

Integration Architecture

How BalkanID connects to Drata and to everything Drata needs to see.

BalkanID uses established integration patterns to connect to your identity ecosystem and surface evidence into Drata, including the long tail of systems that lack native connectors.

SCIM / API

Automated provisioning connectors

BalkanID connects to IdPs, SaaS applications, and cloud platforms via SCIM and Graph APIs, enabling automated provisioning and deprovisioning that generates audit-ready lifecycle evidence.

WEBHOOK / SYNC

HRIS-triggered lifecycle automation

Workday, BambooHR, ADP, UKG, and Zoho People connect via webhook or scheduled sync. Every workforce event becomes an immediate, documented identity governance action across all connected systems.

FEDERATION

IdP and SSO integration

SAML and OIDC federation with Okta, Entra ID, and Google Workspace enables BalkanID to govern entitlements across federated identity boundaries, resolving effective access beyond what the IdP itself can see.

DISCONNECTED

Legacy and custom system governance

For systems without APIs or SCIM support, BalkanID provides file-based, agent-based, and custom connector approaches, bringing legacy and on-prem applications into your compliance posture.

NHI / SECRETS

Non-human identity and credential governance

Service accounts, API tokens, machine credentials, and AI agent identities are discovered, risk-scored, and lifecycle-governed, providing the machine identity compliance evidence that most trust platforms lack.

EVIDENCE FEED

Continuous compliance evidence stream

Every BalkanID governance action, access review completed, lifecycle event actioned, risk remediated, SoD cleared, generates structured evidence that flows into Drata controls and audit trails.
