Our Identity Assessment Services

Purpose-built identity discovery tools that turn stakeholder input into complete, validated, implementation-ready requirements.

Questionnaire Design

Create tailored IAM, IGA, and PAM assessment questionnaires with AI-generated questions, branching logic, dependencies, and a visual editor for rapid refinement.

Stakeholder Conversations

Guide business and technical stakeholders through adaptive, plain-language AI conversations that clarify terminology, prune irrelevant questions, and capture detailed responses asynchronously.

Cross-Stakeholder Analytics

Compare responses across stakeholders to identify contradictions, measure consensus, highlight coverage gaps, and resolve disputed access requirements before implementation work begins.

Requirements Documentation

Design reusable document templates that automatically populate from completed assessments, producing structured, traceable requirements for design, testing, acceptance, and governance.

API and ServiceNow

Connect assessment outputs to delivery workflows through REST API access and ServiceNow integration, reducing manual re-entry and preserving downstream requirement traceability.

Identity Question Libraries

Start with more than 500 practitioner-written questions across 11 IAM, IGA, and PAM domains, then customize coverage for each client engagement.

AI-Powered Discovery

Turn Discovery Into Defensible Identity Requirements

Identity CoAnalyst helps teams replace lengthy workshops and spreadsheet follow-ups with a guided assessment experience built specifically for IAM, IGA, and PAM. AI-assisted questionnaires capture the access context that implementation teams need, while conversational guidance makes participation easier for nontechnical stakeholders. Analytics expose conflicts early, and automated documents create a clear, testable baseline for vendor evaluation, configuration, governance, and audit preparation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an identity assessment?

An identity assessment is a structured review of how an organization manages identities, access, approvals, governance, and privileged accounts. It identifies current processes, systems, roles, controls, data sources, gaps, and stakeholder expectations. The resulting requirements baseline helps teams scope IAM, IGA, or PAM initiatives, evaluate vendors, prioritize remediation, and establish measurable implementation and acceptance criteria.
