Access Reviews That Reflect Reality and Hold Up Under Audit.

NEXIS automates access reviews across roles, accounts, entitlements, non-human identities, and AI agents with integrated risk context and SoD checks.

When Recertification Is Manual, Compliance Becomes Guesswork

Most organizations still run access reviews through spreadsheets, exported lists, or disconnected approval workflows. Reviewers are asked to approve access without enough context to understand what an entitlement does, what risk it carries, or whether it creates a conflict.

As a result, access reviews become difficult to defend. Scope is incomplete, decisions are inconsistent, and audit evidence has to be reconstructed after the fact. In fragmented IGA environments, roles and entitlements often live in separate systems, so recertification is never truly complete.

Risk Indicators
  • Managers approve access without entitlement context
  • Review scope excludes technical and non-human accounts
  • Conflicting access is not visible across systems
  • Access persists after role or employment changes
  • AI agents and NHIs fall outside review cycles
  • Audit evidence requires manual reconstruction

Complete Visibility, Defensible Decisions,
and Continuous Governance

Effective access reviews are not just periodic certification events. They depend on complete scope, clear risk context, and workflows that help reviewers make informed decisions across every identity type in scope.

Cross-System Recertification

Review roles, accounts, and system entitlements across connected platforms in one governed workflow.

Risk-Based Decision Support

Give reviewers the context they need before they act, including entitlement risk, peer patterns, and SoD exposure.

NHI and AI Agent Coverage

Extend recertification beyond human users to service accounts, non-human identities, and AI agents with defined ownership.

Audit-Ready Evidence

Capture every decision with time stamps, ownership, and workflow history so audit records are available when needed.

How NEXIS Supports Access Reviews

NEXIS combines workflow automation, identity analytics, inline SoD checks, and broader identity coverage to turn recertification into a more complete and defensible governance process.

Automated Recertification Campaigns

NEXIS automates recertification campaigns across roles, user accounts, and system entitlements. Campaign scope, schedules, escalation paths, and reviewer assignments can be configured using over 180 reusable workflow templates, helping teams standardize review processes without relying on manual coordination. Completeness is enforced: all identity types within scope - including technical users, NHIs, Agents - are included in every campaign cycle.

Risk-Based Views and Identity Analytics

Every review item is enriched with context: what the entitlement does, which risk classification it carries, and how it compares to peer-group access patterns. NEXIS Identity Grid visualizations expose authorization outliers, excessive privilege accumulations, and role assignment anomalies - so reviewers make informed decisions, not reflexive approvals.

Integrated SoD Conflict Detection

Segregation-of-duties checks are embedded directly into the review process so reviewers can see conflicts during certification rather than after the cycle is complete. Cross-system SoD conflicts, toxic role combinations, and data quality violations are flagged inline before a reviewer confirms access. This eliminates the need to correlate SoD findings from a separate tool after the review cycle has closed.

NHI and AI Agent Recertification

NEXIS extends recertification to service accounts, non-human identities, and AI agents with accountable ownership and reviewability. This helps organizations apply the same governance discipline to machine access as they do to human access. Lifecycle processes - including Joiner, Mover, Leaver events for NHIs - are tracked and reviewable within the same platform.

NICO AI Decision Support

NICO, the NEXIS Intelligent Co-Pilot, supports reviewers with explainable AI recommendations during certification. For each access item, NICO analyzes peer access patterns, flags anomalies, and provides reasoning. Reviewer feedback is integrated into the model over time, improving recommendation accuracy across future campaigns.

With NEXIS, Access Reviews Are Defensible, Not Just Completed

NEXIS replaces fragmented, calendar-driven recertification with a more continuous and evidence-based governance process. Review decisions become easier to trace, scope becomes more complete, and risk signals are visible before they become audit issues.

Regulated industries, including financial services, insurance, and manufacturing, rely on this approach to satisfy MaRisk, BAIT, VAIT, DORA, and NIS2 requirements.

  • Complete Review Scope Across Identity Types
  • Risk Context at the Point of Decision
  • Cross-System SoD Visibility During Review
  • Audit-Ready Evidence Without Manual Reconstruction
