Access Governance
Compare approved access against actual access across identity, cloud, SaaS, and edge environments. Surface drift, route remediation through approval, and generate tamper-evident evidence for every change.
Access drift accumulates faster than governance processes can track it.
Every role change, team transfer, contractor extension, and SaaS seat assignment creates a new version of what access exists versus what was approved. These gaps grow quietly. By the time a periodic review runs, the difference between authorized state and observed state can span months of untracked changes, and a single overlooked admin role is enough to change the outcome of an audit or an incident response.
What it does
Approved vs Observed Access
Pull the approved access policy from your identity configuration and compare it against what connectors observe in reality across every connected environment.
- ·Policy baseline pulled from directory and RBAC configuration
- ·Observed state collected from Entra ID, Okta, AWS, Google WS, and more
- ·Continuous reconciliation, not periodic snapshots
- ·Drift surface area displayed per user, role, and system
Access Drift Detection
Identify where observed access diverges from approved access, classified by severity so the highest-risk gaps surface first.
- ·Critical / High / Medium / Low severity classification
- ·Finding linked to the specific user, role, and system
- ·Timestamp of when drift was first observed
- ·Change history showing how the gap evolved
Privileged Access Oversight
Track admin, service account, and emergency access separately from standard user access. Privilege creep and ungoverned escalation paths are surfaced as findings.
- ·Admin and owner role inventory across all connected systems
- ·Service account tracking and ownership mapping
- ·Emergency access detection and expiry enforcement
- ·MFA enforcement gap identification
Role Review Workflows
Run scheduled or on-demand access reviews across user populations. Route reviews to the right manager or system owner with approval-tracked outcomes.
- ·Scoped reviews by department, system, or role
- ·Manager-driven or system-owner-driven attestation
- ·Approval record captured for each certification decision
- ·Evidence package generated on review completion
Offboarding Residual Access
When employees, contractors, or vendors leave, Nuxari identifies which access remains across every connected system and routes removal through approval.
- ·Cross-system residual access scan on departure event
- ·SaaS seats, cloud roles, group memberships, and licenses in scope
- ·Approval-gated removal workflows
- ·Removal evidence per system per departing user
Access Evidence Capture
Every access review, drift finding, and remediation action generates timestamped, hashed evidence mapped to the control objective it satisfies.
- ·SHA-256 hashed event records
- ·Control-mapped to access governance objectives
- ·Exportable as PDF or JSON evidence bundle
- ·Immutable audit chain from finding to resolution
Approved access and actual access rarely stay aligned. Nuxari keeps the difference visible, continuously.
Step-by-step lifecycle
- 01Connect identity and access sourcesNuxari connectors pull observed state from Entra ID, Okta, Google Workspace, AWS IAM, Azure RBAC, GitHub, and other systems on a continuous schedule.
- 02Establish the approved access baselineThe approved baseline is derived from role assignments, group policies, and provisioning workflows, not manually entered. Nuxari compares what should exist against what does exist.
- 03Surface drift as classified findingsEvery gap between approved and observed access becomes a finding, classified by severity and linked to the specific user, role, and system where the drift occurred.
- 04Route to approval-gated remediationFindings are queued for remediation. Each remediation action requires approval before execution. No access change runs without an authorization record.
- 05Execute and validateApproved remediation executes through the governed workflow. A validation step confirms the change took effect across the connected system.
- 06Capture evidenceEvery step, finding, approval, execution, validation, is captured as a signed, timestamped evidence record mapped to the control objectives it satisfies.
Access review reveals admin role drift
A scheduled access review runs across the Entra ID directory. Nuxari compares current role assignments against the approved baseline from 90 days prior.

What Nuxari generates
- Drift finding record with severity, timestamp, and affected scope
- Approved baseline snapshot used for comparison
- Approval record for each remediation action
- Execution log with system confirmation
- Validation result confirming role removal
- Control-mapped evidence bundle exportable as PDF or JSON
- Access review certification record per user per system
- Exception record if drift is accepted with justification
