NHI Security & Governance
Govern the largest workforce you don’t see: Non-Human Identities.
Why NHI Security Matters
NHIs—service accounts, OAuth apps, API keys, webhooks, and agent tokens—run the modern enterprise. They don’t onboard via HR, rarely show in SSO, and often persist far beyond their original purpose. They also accumulate privilege quickly across SaaS APIs. ClarioSec discovers these identities, attributes ownership, measures effective permissions (not just declared scopes), and reveals reachable data. You get a live picture of who or what can do which actions, where, and when—with risk hints for exfil-prone scopes, wildcard roles, dormant tokens, and bridging identities that enable lateral movement.
Core Capabilities
Ownership & Attestation
Assign owners, require attestations, and track purpose and renewal. Orphaned identities surface automatically with suggested owners based on usage and context.
Least-Privilege by Design
Minimize scopes and roles with one-click policies. Apply time-boxed access and JIT approvals. See the delta between requested and effective permissions.
Lifecycle Controls
Rotate or expire tokens/keys, enforce secret hygiene, and set renewal SLAs. Dormant/reactivated patterns trigger immediate review with explainable context.
Evidence & Auditability
Every change produces a signed narrative: what changed, why, who approved, and which control applied. Evidence maps to SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, EU AI Act, and ISO/IEC 42001.
Identity Graph & Blast Radius
ClarioSec normalizes identities and permissions into a tenant-scoped graph. You see relationships between agents, scopes, repos/channels/files, and human owners—plus cross-app paths that enable data movement or escalation. “What can this token really do?” becomes a click, not an investigation. Bridging identities that connect sensitive systems are prioritized with drift-aware scoring and enforcement recommendations.
With graph context, you can simulate the impact of revoking a token, reducing scope, or requiring human-in-the-loop steps for high-risk actions—before you break workflows.
Enforcement at the Moment of Action
NHI guardrails apply pre-execution where it matters: Block → Alert → Log, with JIT approvals and scope minimization. Exceptions are governed with expiry and owner. Every outcome is explainable and mapped to controls so you can prove decisions to auditors and boards—without slowing down teams that build on automation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is NHI Security & Governance?
A dedicated capability to discover, classify, and control Non-Human Identities (service accounts, OAuth apps, API tokens/keys, webhooks, and agent tokens). ClarioSec maps ownership, effective permissions, reachable resources, and activity history so you can minimize blast radius and enforce least privilege.
How is this different from traditional IAM?
IAM centers on human users and roles. NHI Security focuses on software identities that don’t log in via SSO, often sprawl across SaaS APIs, and accumulate privilege silently. ClarioSec normalizes scopes/roles across providers, builds an identity graph, and ties each identity to runtime policy and explainable evidence.
Which controls can we enforce?
Ownership and attestation, scope minimization, token/secret rotation and expiry, time-boxed access, JIT approvals, and governed exceptions with expiry and approver. All controls are explainable and mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, EU AI Act, and ISO/IEC 42001.
