Access and privileges
Modernise SSO and federation
Simplify access journeys while regaining control over protocols, sessions, applications and responsibilities.
Simple access journeys for users. Strong controls for the organization.
A successful login is only one step in the identity journey.
It starts with reliable identities, continues with authentication that matches the context and ends with access that reflects each user's responsibilities.
Whether the user is an employee, a partner or a customer, the experience should remain straightforward while meeting the organization's security requirements.

Assess your dynamic authorization needs for users and AI agents for free
Answer a few questions to gauge your organization’s dynamic authorization needs — including for AI agents — and get concrete recommendations.
People should not have to work around security to get their job done.
Access environments usually grow over time as applications, acquisitions and business projects accumulate.
Users often manage multiple authentication methods, multiple directories and multiple portals.
Administrators maintain different rules for different applications.
Security teams need stronger controls without making everyday work more complicated.
The objective is to create access journeys that are easier to use, easier to administer and easier to evolve.
Design consistent access journeys
Authentication
Define authentication mechanisms adapted to different users and different risk levels.
Single Sign-On
Reduce repeated authentication while maintaining an appropriate level of security.
Identity federation
Allow trusted identities to be shared across multiple organizations and environments.
Multi-factor authentication
Apply stronger controls when required without introducing unnecessary complexity.
Access policies
Adapt decisions according to context, user, device, application or assessed risk.
Partner access
Provide external partners with access only to the resources they require.
CIAM
Design registration, authentication and account management journeys for external users.
Access governance
Allow access rules to evolve without multiplying exceptions.

Choose the right architecture before the right technology
Selecting an Access Management platform depends on the existing environment, the applications being protected, the user journeys and the organization's security objectives.
Ariovis supports the design, integration and operation of platforms adapted to each context.
Technology partner
Ping Identity
Ping Identity is the primary technology partner for this offer and a reference technology for:
- Access Management
- identity federation
- Single Sign-On
- multi-factor authentication
- CIAM
- secure access journeys
- modern identity architectures
Ariovis can also work on Microsoft Entra ID or Keycloak architectures when the customer's context requires it, particularly within existing environments or specific projects.
What improves for users and operational teams
Simpler user experience
Users reach the applications they need with fewer unnecessary steps.
Consistent policies
Access rules become more coherent across the application landscape.
Stronger security
Authentication mechanisms match the level of risk.
Easier administration
Operations teams manage a clearer and more maintainable architecture.
Better scalability
New services can be integrated without redesigning the whole environment.
A stronger IAM foundation
Access Management remains aligned with identity governance, PAM and authorization.
Designing an identity federation strategy
Banking
A large financial organization wanted to define its identity federation strategy together with the associated standards and Single Sign-On architecture.
Ariovis provided expert consulting to assess federation protocols, compare available approaches, review the existing environment and recommend a practical implementation strategy.
The engagement produced a focused technology benchmark, an organizational and application landscape assessment and a structured set of recommendations for building a sustainable identity architecture.
Access Management is only one part of the identity journey.
IAM Strategy and Zero Trust
Define the roadmap before selecting technologies.
Identity Governance
Provide reliable identity data for access decisions.
Privileged Access Management
Protect privileged accounts and secrets.
Fine-grained Authorization
Make runtime authorization decisions based on context.
Access Management delivers its full value when identity governance, privileged access and authorization work together as one coherent identity architecture.
