Award 2026Technology partner
Security starts with knowing
who can do what.
Ariovis is an identity specialist. We do not pick a vendor to fill a slot in a partner catalogue: we select technologies when they match our reading of IAM and the architectures we build for our clients.
Netwrix is one of those structural choices. Its portfolio has grown around several complementary dimensions of a single question: who or what is acting, with which entitlements, over what — and is that still legitimate today?
- Netwrix Partnership Excellence Award 2026 — France Partner Kick Off 2026.
- Particularly deep experience on Netwrix Identity Manager (SaaS and on-premises).
Our reading: identity as the common thread
Security cannot be designed from infrastructure, applications or data alone. In a great many access and data protection problems, understanding identities and their entitlements is an essential foundation.
Netwrix now positions itself around “Data Security that Starts with Identity™”. That idea converges with ours: not that identity explains all of cybersecurity, but that it conditions a decisive part of it.
Why Netwrix resonates with us
An identity may be an employee, a contractor, an administrator, a technical account, an application, a service or a non-human identity. It holds entitlements and privileges that open access to systems and sometimes to sensitive data.
Those entitlements change over time. They must be governed, observed, reduced when they become unnecessary and challenged when they become risky. That continuity is what interests us.
Who is acting, and why
Knowing which identities exist, where they come from, what they are for and which decision their entitlements rest on.
What they can reach
An entitlement only makes sense in light of what it opens: systems, directories, business applications, sensitive data.
What remains legitimate
Access that was justified yesterday can be exposure today. The question is replayed over time, not settled once.
Netwrix through problems, not through the catalogue
The Netwrix catalogue is far broader than what we present here. We deliberately select the capabilities that make sense within an identity-centric security strategy, and we read them as a progression rather than as a product list.
Govern identities and entitlements
Automated lifecycles, a consolidated identity repository, role models, connections to HR, IT, cloud and business application environments, access certification, segregation of duties, audit trails and reporting — covering employees, contractors, service accounts and other identities depending on the context.
- Netwrix Identity Manager
Remove standing privilege
Replace permanent administrative privileges with access granted when it is needed: Just-In-Time, task-appropriate rights, removal after use, session monitoring and audit, privileged account discovery. Our conviction: PAM does not automatically mean putting every administrator behind heavy infrastructure. We look first for a real reduction of privilege, with technology proportionate to risk and usage.
- Netwrix Privilege Secure
- Zero Standing Privilege
Secure directories and identity posture
Active Directory and Entra ID remain at the heart of many identity chains. Groups, delegations, privileged accounts, dangerous configurations, forgotten accounts and bad practices can turn the directory into an attack surface. This family of capabilities works on directory visibility, posture, administration and resilience.
- Netwrix PingCastle
- Netwrix Directory Manager
- Netwrix Identity Recovery
- Password Policy Enforcer
Observe, audit and detect
Governing what should be allowed is not enough: you also need to understand what actually happens. Visibility over activity and changes, audit, detection of risky events and behaviours, usable evidence.
- Netwrix Auditor
- Netwrix Threat Manager
- Netwrix Threat Prevention
Connect identities, access and data
An identity becomes particularly critical when its access reaches sensitive resources. Understanding the identity without understanding what it can reach creates one blind spot; protecting data without knowing who can access it creates another. Netwrix brings these two worlds closer, notably with 1Secure. Ariovis remains an identity specialist: we read that convergence as the logical extension of an identity-first approach.
- Netwrix 1Secure
- Netwrix Access Analyzer
Ariovis does not claim equal depth on every one of these capabilities. This is a map of problems; our strongest expertise sits on identity governance and Netwrix Identity Manager.
Netwrix Identity Manager: our expertise goes further
We single out Identity Manager not because it would be “better” than other Netwrix products, but because our teams have particularly deep experience with it — on SaaS and on-premises architectures, on greenfield projects and on inherited environments alike.
This technology deserves more than a product sheet: the decisions that make or break a programme are taken on the identity model, the sources, the roles and day-to-day operations — not on a feature list.
Model & data
- Identity model
- HR sources
- Reconciliation

- Continuous improvement
Our field notes detail how we design, integrate, migrate, take over and operate Netwrix Identity Manager: identity model, lifecycles, roles, provisioning, reconciliation, certifications, connectors, SaaS or on-premises, and run.
A powerful product only delivers its value with a mastered integration.
The integration that unlocks the value of Netwrix
- A poorly defined Joiner / Mover / Leaver process
- An HR source that cannot be trusted
- A role model that simply does not exist
- Unclear ownership and responsibilities
- Governance that was never decided
- An application landscape nobody fully understands
How we proceed
- 1
Understand the processes
How identities are actually created, changed and removed in your organisation.
- 2
Understand identities and risks
Populations, technical accounts, contractors, privileges, concrete exposure.
- 3
Define architecture and governance
Target, ownership, structural decisions, a realistic trajectory.
- 4
Select the required capabilities
What is useful, at which point, and what can wait.
- 5
Integrate, only then
Deployment comes after the decision, never instead of it.

These services do not apply uniformly to every Netwrix product: this delivery capability covers the ecosystem, with particularly significant depth on Identity Manager.
A partnership measured in the field
Netwrix Partnership Excellence Award 2026
In 2026, Ariovis received the Netwrix “Partnership Excellence Award”, presented at the France Partner Kick Off 2026.
We mostly see it as external proof: evidence of a working relationship built on real projects, delivered and maintained.
Real projects, different contexts
Our clients are not named here. The elements below describe Netwrix Identity Manager delivery contexts, from greenfield programmes to inherited environments.
Financial services / banking
Netwrix Identity Manager — SaaS
A programme run from architecture through to training internal teams, with several environments and deep integration into the existing IT landscape.
- Architecture and multi-environment management
- HR data integration
- Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID, SharePoint, Exchange
- EasyVista, workflows
- Work on roles and the RBAC model
- Preparation of further integrations, notably SAP
Local public sector
Netwrix Identity Manager — SaaS to on-premises migration
A proof of continuity: an architecture migration followed by several years of operational maintenance, with around forty functional evolutions.
- HR data, Active Directory
- Joiner / Mover / Leaver processes
- Exchange, WebMethods
- Maintenance, upgrades and support
- Functional evolutions over time
Software vendor / HR services
Netwrix Identity Manager — inherited environment
Taking over an existing environment with a mandate to stabilise it, then move it forward: understand what is there before changing it.
- Active Directory, Entra ID
- HR and ITSM interfaces
- Workflows and entitlements
- Support, maintenance, incidents
- Role Mining preparation
- Onboarding of new applications
Building from scratch is only part of the job: taking over, understanding, stabilising and then evolving matters just as much.
