User access reviews are crucial for security and compliance, yet many organizations struggle with manual, fragmented processes. BalkanID provides a modern platform to automate and simplify access reviews across SaaS, cloud, and on-premises systems.
BalkanID centralizes all user access data and delivers an intelligent review workflow. It automates campaign management, scheduling recurring or ad-hoc access certification campaigns across users, roles, groups and applications. The platform contextualizes reviews with analytics – surfacing peer/privileged access and risk signals directly in the review interface to guide decision-making. BalkanID also ingests identity data automatically from HR systems and cloud directories, eliminating manual data collection. Every review action is logged and reportable for full audit-readiness. In practice, risk managers have gone from weeks-long certification projects to launching campaigns in minutes, enabling continuous compliance.
HR and IT teams often lack seamless processes for bringing employees on and off the network. BalkanID automates the entire joiner-mover-leaver lifecycle to ensure users get the right access at the right time.
BalkanID provides a self-service access portal coupled with intelligent automation to handle joiners, movers, and leavers seamlessly. New hires can request needed apps/groups via an intuitive web or Slack interface, with forms auto-populated based on role and past access to eliminate guesswork. Role mining insights guide these requests so employees only see relevant entitlements. Approvals include contextual peer and privileged access data to prevent blind rubber-stamping. Once approved, BalkanID automatically provisions access across HRIS, cloud services and on-prem applications – and just as importantly, automates deprovisioning when users exit or change roles. All activities (requests, approvals, provisioning actions) are logged in a full audit trail, ensuring visibility and accountability throughout the user lifecycle.
Permanent privileges pose a constant security risk. BalkanID’s Just-in-Time Purpose-Based Access Control (JITPBAC) ensures users have access only when and why it’s needed, bringing true least-privilege access to life.
BalkanID flips the model: users start with no access by default and must request it through defined “purposes”. A purpose (e.g. “Server Maintenance” or “Financial Audit”) bundles the exact entitlements needed for that task. When a user needs to perform the task, they submit a request specifying duration and justification. BalkanID automatically provisions the requested access at the approved start time and then automatically revokes it at the scheduled end. Policy constraints (such as business hours, required approvals or simultaneous request limits) are built-in so that access truly adheres to organizational rules. This ensures that no one has excess privileges outside the precise time and context they’re needed.
Without clear role definitions, access control becomes chaotic. BalkanID uses data-driven analytics to discover, optimize, and continuously manage role-based access control (RBAC) in your organization.
BalkanID continuously analyzes both top-down (HR data) and bottom-up (entitlement assignments) to build an accurate RBAC baseline. It automatically identifies clusters of users with similar access and suggests well-defined roles. For every new hire or position change (joiner/mover), BalkanID recommends the right roles to assign, reducing manual guesswork. It also flags outliers and sparse roles – for example, permissions held by very few people or roles that cover redundant entitlements. Before any role change, BalkanID performs impact analysis to ensure no business disruption or policy violations. In short, BalkanID turns raw entitlement data into a clean, optimized role model and keeps it up-to-date as your organization evolves.
In today’s environment, knowing who is truly entitled is not enough – organizations must continuously assess and remediate identity risk. BalkanID brings advanced risk analytics and automated governance playbooks to your identity stack.
BalkanID continuously scores and analyzes identity risk across your environment. It uses role mining and policy rules to automatically identify users with excessive permissions or toxic role combinations, and explains the risk context in plain terms. For example, it can pinpoint that a user in Finance also has an admin-level cloud role – a classic SoD violation. Once risks are identified, BalkanID provides governance playbooks akin to SOAR workflows: you can trigger automated responses via APIs (review, revoke, notify) on any connected system. This brings end-to-end risk mitigation. The platform also offers dashboards and reports showing risk trends and remediation status. In summary, BalkanID makes identity risk visible and actionable, turning what was a reactive chore into a proactive process.
