Identity Governance
Identity Governance is the set of rules, processes, and control mechanisms used to govern identities, access, and accountability across an organization.
Definition
Identity Governance is the governance layer of IAM that defines how identities are created, reviewed, controlled, and aligned with business responsibilities. It includes governance principles, access review mechanisms, segregation rules, lifecycle oversight, and reporting capabilities so that access remains explainable, legitimate, and auditable over time.
Why it matters
Identity governance defines how access rights are requested, approved, reviewed, and revoked across an organization. Without structured governance, entitlements drift, audit findings accumulate, and compliance gaps become structural.
The Ariovis perspective
Ariovis treats the person or service, its context and its responsibilities as the starting point. Accounts and permissions are technical consequences that must remain tied to a governed identity.
