We make your IGA and PAM smarter

Suppose you’re leading an identity or security program today. In that case, your tech stack already includes big-ticket items: identity governance and administration (IGA), privileged access management (PAM), and identity providers (IdPs). You’ve invested years, and a significant portion of your budget (often millions), into making them work.

So when someone says, “We’ve got something new to add to your identity architecture,” your first reaction is probably, No thanks. You don’t need another thing to synchronize, another UI to learn, or another agent to deploy. You need a way to get more out of what you already have.
That’s exactly what SGNL does.

We’re not here to replace your IGA or PAM platforms. We’re here to make them smarter by serving as the decision engine that translates their static identity data into real-time access decisions. Think of us as the orchestrator of your identity stack: the translator, coordinator, and enforcer who helps every system play in harmony.

Why your current tools still leave gaps

Your IGA tool is great at defining roles and entitlements. Your PAM solution can vault credentials, broker access, and manage check-in/check-out flows. But both of those tools are built around administrative workflows. They operate at design time, not at run time.

This means they’re often out of sync with what’s actually happening in the business.

An engineer might have completed a project but still have access to production systems. A vendor account might still be active weeks after a contract ends. A user might pass an access review while working from a trusted device but later log in from a risky one, and no system is reevaluating that decision.

In short, your tools know a lot, but they don’t do much in the moment—and that’s the moment that matters.

SGNL connects the dots

SGNL sits between your existing identity data sources and the systems enforcing access: cloud apps, APIs, infrastructure, ticketing systems, and more. SGNL is continuous identity. We pull in the policy-relevant context from tools you already have, including information like:

• Who a user is and what roles they’ve been assigned (IGA)
• What group memberships, risk scores, and device posture are in play (IdP, XDR, MDM, SIEM, etc.)
• What active business conditions exist like open tickets, active contracts, or on-call schedules (ITSM)

Then, we translate that into real-time access decisions based on the policies you define.

This lets you answer not just, “Who should generally have access to this?” but “Should this person have access right now, under these specific conditions?”

When those conditions change, SGNL reevaluates. No waiting for the next access review. No opening a ticket. No hoping someone notices the risk before it becomes a breach.

From policy intent to live enforcement

One way to think about SGNL is that we translate the intent expressed in your IGA and PAM configurations into real-time, giving you the opportunity to add contextual enforcement.

Let’s say your policy is:

“Only users in the DevOps group with an active on-call ticket can access the production environment.”

Your IGA might define who’s in the DevOps group, and your ticketing system can confirm who’s on call. SGNL combines these to decide: Can this specific person take this specific action on this specific system right now? If they meet these conditions, they get access, and as soon as they no longer meet the conditions (say, the ticket is closed), access is revoked automatically.

This is Zero Standing Privilege (ZSP) in action, backed by dynamic policy, not static roles or manual approvals. This is also commonly being referred to as Continuous Identity.

You don’t have to throw anything out

We hear it all the time: “We just finished a multi-year IGA rollout.” Or, “We already have PAM deployed across all our critical systems.” That’s great. You don’t need to rip any of that out. SGNL enhances what you’ve already built.

We integrate via APIs and event listeners. There’s no agent on endpoints. There is no need to replicate your entire identity model. We use the data you already manage—identities, entitlements, risk signals—to drive smarter access decisions across the systems you care about most.

But does this really justify another tool?

We get the question. Identity budgets are tight. CISOs are under pressure to show ROI. And adding something new (even something lightweight) has to be worth it.

Here’s how SGNL earns its keep:

1. Lower PAM usage (and cost)

   PAM is essential—but it’s also expensive. Many organizations overuse it to compensate for a lack of precision elsewhere, especially cloud infrastructure. With SGNL in place, you can reduce reliance on credential brokering by enforcing precise, session-based policies before users hit PAM workflows. Over time, this reduces vault check-outs and high-cost sessions.

2. Fewer access reviews

   Quarterly access certifications are a massive time sink for your team and the entire business. SGNL reduces the burden of periodic reviews by removing standing access. When access is dynamically granted in real-time, there’s simply less to manually review and certify. That’s hundreds of hours saved every quarter.

3. Faster incident response

   When a breach occurs, you don’t want to wait for someone to notice that a compromised identity still has access. SGNL can receive risk signals from your XDR, MDM, IDP, IGA, ITDR or SIEM and immediately end sessions, invalidate tokens and pull access… automatically, without requiring a human to intervene. That shrinks your blast radius and makes conversations with your security operations team a lot less stressful.

4. A cleaner, simpler architecture

   Instead of scattering policy logic across dozens of systems, SGNL lets you define policies centrally and consistently enforce them. This improves clarity, traceability, and the number of moving parts in your access control strategy.

Orchestrating your continuous identity

If your identity stack is an orchestra, think of SGNL as the conductor.

IGA lays down the chords, PAM brings the rhythm, and your IdP keeps time. But it’s SGNL that makes sure they’re playing in sync—responding to the right cues, adjusting tempo when the risk changes, and continuously staying in tune with what the business needs in real-time.

We don’t drown anyone out. We help each tool sound better together.

A smarter way forward

You’re not alone if you’re feeling the friction between long-term identity planning and day-to-day security operations. Most IAM teams are. But the answer isn’t to start over. It’s to get smarter about how your systems work together.

SGNL offers a lightweight, scalable way to move toward continuous identity… real-time, risk-aware access control. All without replacing the investments you’ve already made.

So don’t think of us as “one more thing.” Think of us as the thing that finally helps your existing stack deliver what it promised: the right access for the right people at the right time—and only for as long as needed.
