Security & Compliance
Built-in controls for regulated environments
Security, auditability and accountability are built into every identity process managed by Activate.
Designed for enterprise and regulated environments including banking and government, Activate automates identity operations while maintaining visibility, control and compliance across cloud, on-premises and hybrid environments.
Built on more than twenty years of practical identity experience, Activate is designed around operational reality, not vendor theory.
Security by design
ACTIVATE APPLIES SECURITY CONTROLS AT KEY IDENTITY DECISION POINTS
Access requests
Joiner, mover and leaver events
Approval and governance processes
Identity operations workflows.
Policies and approval rules are applied consistently, reducing reliance on manual enforcement, service tickets and operational workarounds.
Operational accountability
EVERY APPROVAL AND IDENTITY CHANGE CAN BE RECORDED AND TRACED
Approval histories
Identity and access changes
Historical access context
Auditable workflow records
Giving Security, IT and governance teams clearer evidence for investigations, compliance reviews and operational oversight.
Built for hybrid reality
OPERATES ACROSS A MIX OF CLOUD, ON-PREMISES AND LEGACY SYSTEMS.
Activate applies consistent identity processes across complex environments without requiring cloud-only architecture or large-scale transformation programmes.
Because governance gets harder when identity is fragmented.
Identity governance is changing
IDENTITY NO LONGER STOPS WITH EMPLOYEES.
Service accounts, application identities, automation workflows and AI agents increasingly require access to systems, applications and data.
Activate helps organisations apply the same principles of ownership, least privilege, approval and traceability across across human and non-human identity operations.
Audit and compliance
Good compliance depends on being able to demonstrate what happened, who approved it and what changed. Activate helps organisations:
Demonstrate controlled access processes
Maintain traceable approval records
Support internal and external audits
Reduce manual audit preparation
Strengthen identity governance.
How Activate can support your ISO 27001 certification journey
Identity and access controls are easier to manage when they are built into day-to-day operations rather than documented separately for audit. Organisations can use Activate to help:
Control how access is requested and approved
Automate joiner, mover and leaver processes
Apply consistent approval and governance rules
Record identity and access changes
Maintain traceable approval histories
Create auditable evidence of who approved what, and when
Reduce reliance on manual records and audit preparation
We’re applying the same approach internally as we work towards ISO 27001 certification, using Activate to help implement and evidence key identity and access processes.
The result is a clearer connection between policy, operational controls and the evidence needed to support audit and compliance activities.
It also helps make those controls part of everyday identity operations, rather than something teams have to reconstruct when audit time comes around.
