Account hygiene
Review stale-access and orphaned-account candidates with the lifecycle, activity, and correlation evidence available. Incomplete evidence stays a reason to investigate.
Identity & Access Visibility
Connect identity and access to the evidence behind it.
Bring accounts, application access, and associated devices into one investigation. Understand how access is assigned, review authentication observations, and identify accounts that need a closer look.
From visibility to investigation
Follow access back to its source.
Identity and access visibility connects the person or account to the applications, groups, and devices observed in your tools. GreyAware brings these relationships together with their source evidence, helping your team understand both the access it can see and the information still missing.
Connect account records
Bring supported provider accounts into a shared identity view. Keep the originating source and available lifecycle information attached to the record.
Trace application access
Review direct assignments and access derived through observed group relationships, where supported. Inspect the path and the data behind it.
Prioritize a review
Use account hygiene, MFA observations, and associated device context to identify what needs follow-up with the identity or application owner.
An investigation in practice
Investigate an account with access that needs review.
A provider account still has an observed application assignment, while its linked identity is marked deprovisioned. Compare the lifecycle records and access evidence before deciding whether removal is appropriate.
Illustrative workflow and sample data.
IDENTITY / FINANCEIllustrative example
Finance application account
- Identity lifecycle
- Deprovisioned
- Provider account
- Active in the observed record
- Application access
- Assignment still observed
- Next check
- Lifecycle timing and access owner
An observed assignment is evidence for review. It does not prove that a sign-in would succeed or that the access was used.
Confirm the identity
Review the account-to-person match, lifecycle state, and source observation times.
Trace the assignment
Identify the application and available direct or group-derived access path. Confirm the current state with the source owner.
Agree on the response
Validate the business need, then use your approved identity process to remove access or document why it remains.
Evidence for the next decision
Bring identity and device context into the same review.
An account’s access is easier to assess when the surrounding evidence is visible. GreyAware connects supported identity relationships with device context so security and IT teams can investigate together.
Explore the platformAuthentication observations
Review the MFA state reported by a provider and when it was observed. Confirm enforcement separately for the application and sign-in conditions that matter.
Associated devices
Connect identities to available device and control evidence. Check the strength and recency of the association before treating it as a current relationship.
Plan your evaluation
Questions to bring to the conversation.
Start with your tools, the evidence you need, and the decisions your team makes.
Read our privacy policyHow are identities connected across tools?
GreyAware uses available account identifiers and source relationships to connect provider records with a shared identity. Matching depends on the data supplied by each integration. Review ambiguous or incomplete identity context before relying on an association.
Can we see direct and group-derived application access?
For supported sources, GreyAware represents direct assignments and access derived from observed group relationships. The view depends on the relationships collected and the derivation supported for that provider. It is not a universal test of every permission or sign-in condition.
Does MFA enrollment mean MFA is enforced?
No. A provider’s MFA enrollment or factor observation is one part of the authentication picture. Application policies, exceptions, and sign-in conditions determine enforcement. Review those separately before concluding that access requires MFA.
How does GreyAware identify stale or orphaned accounts?
Account hygiene evaluations use available lifecycle, access, activity, and identity-matching context to identify review candidates. Missing activity or an unresolved identity does not automatically mean an account should be disabled. Shared and service accounts may need different review context.
Does this workflow remove access automatically?
This visibility workflow helps your team investigate account and access evidence. Access removal should follow your approved identity-management process after the owner confirms the current state and business need.
Which identity providers and applications can we evaluate?
Available records and relationships depend on the integrations and permissions configured for your environment. Bring your identity providers and priority applications to the demo so we can confirm the relevant data, support, and collection cadence.
