Fix Entitlement Sprawl at the Source

A policy-driven Entitlement Lifecycle Management platform that enables developer self-service—without sacrificing governance, consistency, or control.

Define, create, and manage entitlements correctly from day one—across Entra ID, Active Directory, and beyond.

Request Demo
Entitlements Are Broken in Every Enterprise

Groups are created ad hoc across Entra ID, Active Directory, Exchange, and other systems. Naming conventions drift or are ignored, required metadata is missing, ownership is unclear—and governance tools inherit the chaos they can't fix.

Audit Risk

Inconsistent entitlements create compliance gaps that surface at the worst possible time.

Access Sprawl

Ungoverned group creation leads to uncontrolled access accumulation across systems.

Manual Cleanup

IAM teams spend cycles remediating problems that should never have existed.

Broken Governance

Identity governance programs fail when built on a foundation of bad data.

The Shift: Entitlements as a Governed Data Product

Entitlements should be treated as a governed data product—not just directory objects. Instead of reacting to bad data, enforce structure at creation and maintain it throughout the lifecycle—across all identity systems.

Old Approach

React to broken entitlement data after the fact. Governance tools inherit chaos they cannot fix.

New Approach

Enforce structure at creation. Maintain governance throughout the full entitlement lifecycle across every identity system.

Introducing IDCore — Entitlement Lifecycle Management

A centralized control plane for the entire entitlement lifecycle. ID Core brings policy enforcement, data normalization, and developer self-service together in one governed platform.

Policy-Enforced Creation

Create entitlements with guardrails enforced at the backend—not just the UI.

Metaverse Normalization

Normalize entitlement data across all systems into a unified governed model.

Lifecycle & Reconciliation

Manage drift, reconcile changes, and maintain source-of-truth integrity over time.

Developer Self-Service

Enable teams to create entitlements safely—without creating IAM bottlenecks.

CMDB Enrichment

Bring application and service context into entitlement governance from your CMDB.

How It Works: 7-Step Lifecycle

From ingestion to retirement, ID Core governs every stage of the entitlement lifecycle—ensuring consistency, auditability, and control across Entra ID, Active Directory, and beyond.

Step 1 — Ingest & Normalize

Pull entitlements from enterprise identity systems into a centralized entitlement lake. Source-aware ingestion pipelines handle group-type filtering, normalization, and continuous sync with metrics tracking.

Microsoft Entra ID

Fully supported ingestion pipeline.

Active Directory

In-progress integration.

Exchange Online

Supported source system.

Step 2 — Build the Entitlement Metaverse

Create a unified, governed model of all entitlements across systems. The metaverse provides a central schema with extensible attributes, source-to-metaverse mappings, mastered vs. non-mastered field control, cross-system normalization, and full lineage tracking for auditability.

CMDB Integration
Step 3 — Enrich with CMDB Context

Bring application and service context into entitlement governance. CMDB integration maps entitlements to applications and services, associates ownership and business context, improves classification, and enables more intelligent policy enforcement.

Step 4 — Enforce Policy at Creation

Define and enforce guardrails before entitlements ever exist. Policy enforcement is backend-driven—not just a UI constraint—ensuring standards are applied regardless of how entitlements are created.

Naming Conventions

Composable naming rules enforced by source and object type—no more ad hoc group names.

Required Metadata

Mandatory attribute enforcement ensures every entitlement is complete and consistent at creation.

Allowed Group Types

Restrict creation to approved types—security, M365, distribution—based on policy configuration.

Backend Validation

Policies are enforced at the API layer, not just the interface—guaranteeing compliance at every entry point.

Step 5 — Enable Safe Self-Service

Developers and teams can create entitlements without breaking standards. Dynamic create forms adapt to policy, require minimal inputs, and automatically validate and enforce rules—then immediately provision in source systems like Entra ID and Active Directory.

Step 6 — Detect Drift & Reconcile

Keep entitlements aligned across systems over time. Drift detection identifies mastered attribute inconsistencies automatically. A reconcile queue with preflight validation controls writeback to source systems—protecting against invalid or blocked updates.

1
Detect Drift

Automatically identify inconsistencies in mastered attributes across systems.

2
Queue & Validate

Preflight validation before any reconcile operation reaches source systems.

3
Controlled Writeback

Safe, auditable updates that preserve source-of-truth integrity.

Step 7 — Full Lifecycle Management

Manage entitlements from creation to retirement with complete lineage tracking for every change. Controlled edit patterns distinguish mastered vs. source-driven fields, and queue-based operations ensure every update is safe and auditable.

Create

Policy-enforced entitlement creation across source systems.

Modify

Controlled edits with mastered field protection.

Drift

Automatic detection of attribute inconsistencies.

Reconcile

Queue-based writeback with preflight validation.

Audit

Full lineage and change history across all systems.

Key Capabilities at a Glance
Policy-Driven Governance

Composable naming rules, required metadata enforcement, and source-aware policy models.

Metaverse Data Model

Unified entitlement schema across Entra ID, Active Directory, and more—with extensible attributes and mastering logic.

CMDB-Enriched Context

Application-aware entitlements with ownership, service mapping, and improved governance reporting.

Developer Self-Service

Guardrailed creation with dynamic forms—reducing dependency on IAM teams.

Drift Detection & Reconciliation

Identify inconsistencies automatically, queue writeback operations, and preserve source-of-truth integrity.

Lineage & Auditability

Track every change across systems with full visibility into entitlement evolution.

Enterprise-Grade Controls

RBAC, permission gating, backend-enforced policies, and secure architecture with no direct frontend access to protected systems.

Why ID Core Is Different

Traditional IGA platforms govern access after entitlements already exist—inheriting the chaos. ID Core governs at the source, treating entitlements as a first-class data product.

Who It's For
Enterprise IAM Teams

Managing hybrid identity environments spanning Entra ID and Active Directory.

Security & Compliance Teams

Needing audit-ready entitlement structures and consistent governance posture.

Engineering Teams

That need fast, safe, self-service access models without IAM bottlenecks.

Organizations with Entitlement Sprawl

Struggling with inconsistency across identity systems and failed cleanup efforts.

CMDB-Leveraging Organizations

Wanting to connect identity data with application and service context.

Outcomes You Can Expect
Eliminate Sprawl

Stop entitlement sprawl at the source—before it ever enters your systems.

Standardize Across Systems

Consistent entitlements across Entra ID and Active Directory via the metaverse model.

Improve Audit Readiness

Structured, traceable entitlements that satisfy compliance requirements.

Scale Governance

Policy-driven identity governance that scales with your organization—without manual overhead.

Connect Identity to Apps

Link entitlement data to application and service context via CMDB integration.

Replace Manual Cleanup

Automated structure replaces reactive remediation—freeing your IAM team for higher-value work.

Build Entitlements the Right Way—Once.

Stop reacting to broken identity data. Start governing entitlements as a first-class system across your entire identity ecosystem. ID Core gives you the control plane to enforce structure at creation, maintain it over time, and scale governance without sacrificing developer velocity.

Define, create, and manage entitlements correctly from day one—across Entra ID, Active Directory, and beyond.
