Santa Clara, CA – September 11, 2025 – At the ISACA Silicon Valley Fall GRC & AI Conference in Santa Clara, BalkanID, the modern Intelligent Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) platform, announced the Early Access launch of Disconnected Apps Support—a breakthrough that brings identity governance to applications and systems long left outside the reach of legacy IGA tools.
Every enterprise today depends on a mix of SaaS platforms, cloud services, on-premise systems, and legacy web and desktop applications. While modern apps often expose APIs or SCIM connectors, many critical business systems remain disconnected. These disconnected apps—whether custom-built internal tools, older on-premise systems, or niche SaaS products—represent the largest blind spot in identity governance, creating audit gaps, orphaned accounts, and manual IT burdens.
“Disconnected apps have always been the Achilles’ heel of identity access governance,” said Subbu Rama, Co-Founder & CEO of BalkanID, speaking at the conference. “With this launch, we’re closing that gap. Whether enterprises choose BalkanID’s Intelligent IGA or want to extend their existing IGA deployments, they can now govern disconnected apps side by side with modern cloud systems. This is a critical step toward our vision of identity governance without exceptions.”
How It Works
BalkanID uses a combination of AI-powered operators, browser automation, Windows app control, and SCIM proxy bridging to bring disconnected apps into governance workflows. Capabilities include:
- Browser Automation – Capture entitlement data from SaaS apps without APIs and feed it into access review campaigns; automate updates by mimicking admin actions.
- Windows App Control – Enable AI agents to extract entitlements and execute provisioning/de-provisioning in legacy desktop and web apps.
- SCIM Proxy Bridge – Translate lifecycle operations into SCIM-compatible actions for older on-premise systems.
These methods make disconnected apps first-class citizens in BalkanID’s identity access governance framework, with full audit trails and unified workflows across connected and disconnected systems.
Benefits for Enterprises
- Complete Coverage – Extend User Access Reviews (UARs), Lifecycle Management, and IAM Risk & RBAC Analyzer across every app—cloud, SaaS, on-premise, or disconnected.
- Audit-Ready – Certification campaigns include 100% of entitlements, satisfying SOX, HIPAA, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 requirements.
- Seamless JML Automation – Joiner, Mover, and Leaver events consistently enforce access changes, eliminating orphaned accounts and privilege creep.
- Operational Efficiency – Reduce manual scripts, tickets, and one-off processes by delegating disconnected app management to AI operators.
- Flexible Deployment – Use natively within BalkanID’s Intelligent IGA platform or as an overlay to augment existing IGA solutions.
Closing the Last Mile of Governance
Disconnected apps are no longer governance outliers. BalkanID ensures enterprises can confidently answer “who has access to what” across their entire application estate, improve compliance outcomes, and strengthen their security posture.
