Case Studies
User and Role Explorer
User and Role Explorer provides comprehensive visibility into authorization landscapes by enabling deep-dive analysis of user privileges and role compositions across your IT infrastructure.
This investigative capability enables organizations to:
- Drill down into complex permission hierarchies
- Trace authorization inheritance paths
- Uncover hidden access relationships within intricate role structures
Leveraging User and Role Explorer systematically is crucial for maintaining complete authorization transparency and serves as an essential analytical tool for security architects and compliance teams.

Role-Level Analysis
Role-level risk analysis focuses on identifying and evaluating security vulnerabilities that originate from role configurations, permission combinations, and authorization structures within the IT infrastructure.
This technical assessment enables organizations to:
- Optimize role design
- Eliminate excessive privileges
- Prevent authorization conflicts before they impact users
Performing role-level risk analysis systematically is essential for maintaining robust RBAC architectures and acts as a foundational technical control for security teams and auditors.

User-Level Analysis
User-level risk analysis concentrates on discovering and measuring security exposures emerging from user interaction patterns, assigned permissions, and activities within the IT landscape.
This process helps organizations to:
- Safeguard systems
- Fulfill compliance obligations
- Prevent improper access
Recurring user access reviews are often mandatory under enterprise risk frameworks and provide critical validation for external audits.

Provisioning Simulation
Provisioning risk analysis focuses on identifying and evaluating risks before access is granted during the request and approval workflow.
This proactive approach allows organizations to:
- Block risky combinations
- Validate business justifications
- Enforce approval policies
Embedding risk checks in provisioning workflows is essential for preventive access control and is a key mechanism recognized by auditors for maintaining integrity.

Role Maintenance Simulation
Role maintenance simulation identifies risks during the creation and modification of roles, allowing potential conflicts to be addressed before deployment.
This simulation ensures:
- No SoD violations are introduced
- Roles don't carry excessive permissions
- Role integrity is preserved during design
Predictive risk evaluation in role workflows is a key part of secure-by-design access governance.

Cross-System SoD Analysis
Cross-system risk analysis uncovers risks arising from user access across multiple IT systems, highlighting privilege escalation paths and inter-system vulnerabilities.
It enables organizations to:
- Correlate entitlements across platforms
- Detect system-bridging SoD conflicts
- Maintain enterprise-wide security oversight
Cross-system visibility is vital for any mature risk program and is expected by compliance auditors.
