tenfold is an Identity Governance & Administration (IGA) solution. tenfold automatically provides new users with the accounts and access rights they need for their job. It also updates access whenever user roles change and removes any privileges that are no longer needed. As a comprehensive governance solution that is both faster to deploy and easier to operate than legacy platforms, tenfold fills an important gap in the IGA market: It enables small to midsized orgs to quickly and efficiently automate their governance workload. tenfold avoids the lengthy setup and custom scripting of legacy solutions thanks to its out-of-the-box support for many IT systems. tenfold is developed by tenfold Software.

tenfold combines Identity Governance & Administration (IGA), Data Access Governance (DAG) and event auditing in a single platform. IGA and DAG are part of the broader Identity & Access Management (IAM) field. This means that tenfold can be broadly classified as an IAM solution, but is better described as an IGA solution with additional capabilities in Data Access Governance, event auditing and log analysis.

• Identity Governance & Administration (IGA): Automates account and privilege management throughout the user lifecycle, ensuring users possess the privileges they need for their work while revoking any outdated or risky privileges.
• Data Access Governance (DAG): Provides visibility and control over permissions on unstructured data, including files, folders and shared cloud content. Supports object-level reporting as well as detailed audit trails for privileges.
• Event auditing: Analyzes incoming event logs, retains relevant events and consolidates information into an easily searchable log to help admins investigate changes and identify suspicious activity.

As an IGA solution, tenfold is focused on managing accounts and governing access, with additional capabilities in object-level access governance and event auditing. tenfold does not include features from these subfields of Identity & Access Management.

• Identity Providers (IdP) and access management platforms: Solutions that focus on login security, offer single sign-on (SSO), provide a multi-factor authentication (MFA) layer for other applications or act as a directory service. tenfold does not act as an SSO or MFA provider for managed systems.
• Customer Identity & Access Management (CIAM): IAM solutions that provide consumer-facing login portals, focus on seamless authentication experiences and provide self-service registration and account management. tenfold is a workforce IGA solution.
• Privileged Access Management (PAM): Tools that allow organizations to securely authenticate and monitor privileged sessions, including through credential vaults and session recordings. tenfold’s governance capabilities do not replace a dedicated PIM solution.

• Role-based access control: Groups permissions into access roles and assigns them to users based on their responsibilities and the organizational structure.
• User lifecycle management: Automates joiner, mover and leaver processes, including onboarding, department transfers, parental leave and offboarding.
• HR integration: Uses changes in connected HR data to trigger lifecycle and provisioning workflows.
• Self-service access requests: Allows users to request permissions or resources through a self-service portal, with approval routed to the responsible data owner.
• Self-service password resets: Enables users to reset their passwords in tenfold-managed systems.
• Visual workflow editor: Provides a visual interface for creating and modifying approval workflows.
• Data ownership: Allows data owners to be assigned to resources, delegating access requests and reviews to them.
• Data access governance: Provides visibility and governance for permissions on unstructured data.
• Audit trail: Documents approval processes, permission changes and prior permission states.
• Shared content governance: Provides visibility, central reporting and access reviews for content shared through Microsoft 365.
• User access reviews: Prompts data owners to review permissions on resources they control and revokes any privileges that do not pass the review.
• Separation of duties: Prevents conflicting permissions from being assigned to the same person, stopping fraud and conflicts of interest.
• Event auditing: Analyzes event log data in real time to help admins identify suspicious activity and unauthorized changes.

By implementing an IGA solution, organizations are able to automate core governance processes, reduce manual administration and delegate decisions about access from the IT team to data owners within departments. As a centralized platform, IGA also offers transparent reporting, full audit trails and increased data security.

Common use cases for tenfold include:

• Streamlined onboarding: Role-based access automatically provides new employees with all the accounts and privileges intended for their position, reducing wait times and provisioning overhead.
• Complete offboarding: Centralized governance likewise ensures that users lose all access to tenfold-managed systems when they leave the organization, preventing security gaps and data breaches.
• Helpdesk efficiency: By automating routine tasks and providing a self-service portal for common helpdesk requests, tenfold reduces ticket volume and frees up IT teams to focus on other tasks.
• Least privilege access: Keeping access aligned with users’ current responsibilities through lifecycle automation and access reviews prevents overprivileged users, reducing the risk and impact of account breaches.
• Protecting sensitive data: Limiting access to files, folders and shared content based on business requirements reduces the risk of unauthorized access.
• Regulatory compliance: Many security standards and regulatory frameworks require centralized Identity Governance. IGA also streamlines audit preparation and documentation.

tenfold is designed to reduce the implementation and operational effort associated with Identity Governance.

• Fast integration: More than 100 ready-to-use plugins simplify connections to supported systems and reduce the need for custom development. Additional systems can be connected through a REST API, Generic Connector or scripting interfaces depending on their requirements.
• Ease of use: IT teams can configure governance processes through tenfold’s visual interface without scripting or coding. This allows small internal teams to handle most ongoing administration, reducing reliance on outside specialists.
• Three solutions in one: tenfold combines Identity Governance, Data Access Governance and event auditing in a single platform. Organizations can address a wide range of requirements efficiently with one solution.

tenfold is particularly well-suited to organizations that want comprehensive Identity Governance with manageable implementation and operating effort. These include:

• Small to midsized organizations seeking an IGA platform that requires limited customization and keeps ongoing administration manageable.
• Organizations with small IT teams that want to configure governance processes themselves and reduce ongoing reliance on external specialists.
• Organizations with Microsoft-centric IT environments that need consistent, in-depth governance across Active Directory, file servers and Microsoft 365.
• Organizations with frequent workforce changes that want to automate onboarding, transfers and offboarding.
• Organizations with regulatory or audit requirements that need to enforce Least Privilege access and Separation of Duties while documenting access governance processes.
