Privity · Identity Security

Making complex access relationships easier to see, review, and control.

We designed an identity security product that turns fragmented permissions, inherited access, and organizational context into clear decisions.

01 · The Challenge

Access is easy to grant. Much harder to understand.

In large organizations, permissions rarely exist in isolation. Access is inherited through roles, groups, systems, and organizational relationships that change over time.

Security teams need more than a list of permissions. They need to understand why access exists, whether it still makes sense, and what happens if it changes.

02 · Access Intelligence

Privity identity access graph for Sarah Chen, mapping identity through group, role and resource to effective permissions

See how access actually exists.

Instead of treating permissions as isolated rows, Privity maps the relationship between identities, groups, roles, resources, and effective permissions.

03 · Explainable Access

Every permission has a reason. Or it should.

Privity exposes the chain behind access so security teams can distinguish intentional permissions from inherited, outdated, or unexplained access.

04 · Decision Workflow

Turn access context into a decision.

When roles, responsibilities, or organizational relationships change, Privity surfaces the access that needs human judgment and brings the evidence into one decision workspace.

05 · Continuous Oversight

Find access that changed meaning.

Privity continuously reconciles identity and access data to surface role transitions, unexplained permissions, inherited privileges, and other relationships that require review.

06 · The Outcome

Identity security that explains the decision, not just the risk.

Privity turns a dense graph of identities, permissions, roles, and systems into a workflow security teams can understand and act on.
