The Challenge
When employees, contractors, or partners leave an organization, IT and security teams must quickly revoke their access to all systems. In practice, this process is often slow, manual, and incomplete. Many users retain access for days or weeks after departure because of overlooked and unmanaged SaaS applications, shadow SaaS, and shared accounts. Delayed offboarding increases the risk of insider threats, accidental data exposure, and compliance violations. Traditional approaches that require removing access, rotating multiple passwords, updating keys and chasing down every system are inefficient and error-prone.
The Solution
Unixi streamlines user offboarding by centralizing access control through its Universal SSO. For any Unixi governed account, instead of hunting for those accounts across dozens of applications, administrators simply disable the user in the identity provider. Because Unixi has a SAML and SCIM integration with the IdP, offboarding is immediate. Access to all Unixi governed apps and any shared accounts is automatically revoked, without the need to rotate passwords or manage credentials.
Business Benefits
- Instant Access Revocation: Removing a user from the IdP cuts off access across every SaaS application in real time.
- Eliminates Oversights: Covers 100 percent of applications, including shadow SaaS and legacy apps, ensuring nothing is missed.
- Reduces Operational Burden: No need to rotate shared credentials, chase down accounts, or manually update permissions.
- Stronger Security Posture: Prevents ex-employees and contractors from retaining access, closing a major attack vector.
- Improved Compliance: Demonstrates complete and timely access removal for audits and regulatory requirements.
