Ping Identity centralises authentication and SSO effectively. But as organizations grow, the question of what each federated application actually grants downstream, whether offboarded users still have active entitlements, and whether privileged access is scoped correctly, becomes harder to track and harder to prove.
A Ping Identity SSO login triggers access to federated applications. But what that actually grants inside those applications, which roles, which entitlements, which data, is not visible in Ping itself. Teams assign users to federated apps without fully understanding the downstream privileges those assignments carry.
When an employee is deprovisioned in Ping Identity, their SSO access is removed. But local accounts in federated applications, entitlements granted directly in those systems, and service accounts they owned often remain active. Offboarding looks complete. The access is still there.
Not all access flows through Ping Identity federation. Local admin accounts, API credentials, and service accounts created directly in connected systems accumulate outside the federation boundary. They are ungoverned, unreviewed, and unknown until something goes wrong.
BalkanID integrates directly with Ping Identity to bring continuous risk detection, entitlement analysis, access reviews, lifecycle automation, and JITPBAC into a single governed view.
IAM Risk Analyzer
Reduced attack surface · Findings with recommended remediations
BalkanID continuously scans your Ping Identity environment for excessive privileges, stale federated accounts, MFA gaps, and segregation of duties violations across all identity types, human, non-human, and AI agents. Every finding is prioritised by severity and explained with recommended remediations.
RBAC Analyzer
Least privilege enforced · Entitlement sprawl eliminated · SoD violations detected and remediated
BalkanID models every Ping Identity federated app assignment, resolves downstream entitlements in connected applications, and scores each for risk with a Role Risk Factor. Birthright access is analysed against peer data. Confidence scores show whether entitlements are consistent with the profiles of their holders.
User Access Reviews
Audit-ready evidence · Informed decisions, not flat exports
Run access certifications for every identity federating through Ping Identity, including app entitlements, admin roles, and privileged assignments. Approvers see last used date, risk score, peer comparison, and recommended action, with downstream app entitlements resolved and visible. Not a flat federation report.
Lifecycle Management & JML Playbooks
Zero orphaned accounts · No residual federated entitlements
Automate every Joiner, Mover, and Leaver event connected to your HRIS and Ping Identity. New hires get the correct federated app entitlements based on peer analysis. Role changes trigger an atomic recalculation. Leavers have their Ping account deprovisioned and all federated app access verified as revoked, not just the Ping record.
JITPBAC & Non-Human Identity Governance
No standing privilege · Service accounts and API credentials governed
Replace persistent Ping Identity admin roles and sensitive app entitlements with just-in-time, purpose-based grants that are time-bound, approved, and automatically revoked. For service accounts and API credentials operating outside the Ping federation boundary, BalkanID provides full discovery, risk scoring, and continuous governance.
BalkanID gives your team a live, continuously updated view of Ping Identity risk, across users, admin roles, federated app entitlements, and every application connected through Ping Identity, including the access that bypassed federation entirely.
Ping Identity entitlement design analysed with a clear path from current state to least privilege. SoD violations detected and remediated continuously.
JITPBAC eliminates standing Ping Identity admin roles. A compromised account has no persistent privileged or sensitive app entitlement.
Access review evidence generated from live Ping Identity and downstream app data, not assembled manually before every compliance window.
Onboard, offboard, and manage employee transitions with fully automated lifecycle management workflows, with full audit evidence at every step.
