SailPoint + Tonkean: Automate Identity Governance & Access Management

Enterprises rely on SailPoint Identity Security Cloud to manage user identities, accounts, access profiles, entitlements, and governance groups. However, manual processes for onboarding, offboarding, and managing access can introduce delays, compliance risks, and operational inefficiencies—especially when coordination is required across IT, HR, procurement, and legal teams.

Tonkean’s no-code process orchestration platform empowers operations professionals to automate and orchestrate SailPoint actions across the entire identity lifecycle, integrating seamlessly with your existing tools and processes. Below, explore real-world use cases that demonstrate how Tonkean can supercharge your SailPoint investment, reduce risk, and improve efficiency.

1. Automated User Onboarding & Offboarding

When a new employee joins, Tonkean can automatically trigger the Create Account action in SailPoint, provision the right entitlements, and add the user to appropriate governance groups based on HR system data (e.g., from Workday or Greenhouse). Upon offboarding, Tonkean can instantly Disable Account and remove access, ensuring compliance and eliminating manual errors.

• Integrate with HRIS for real-time onboarding/offboarding triggers
• Automatically assign or revoke access profiles and entitlements
• Notify IT, HR, and managers via Microsoft Teams or Slack
• Track all actions for audit readiness

2. Streamlined Access Requests & Approvals

Enable employees to request access to applications or data via guided intake forms or chatbots powered by Tonkean. Requests are automatically routed for approval, and upon approval, Tonkean executes the Enable Account or Add Governance Group Members actions in SailPoint. This eliminates email back-and-forth and speeds up access provisioning.

• Customizable intake forms or chatbots (Intake Forms, AI Front Door)
• Automated routing to managers or compliance for approval
• Real-time status updates for requesters
• Full audit trail for compliance

3. Dynamic Governance Group Management

Tonkean can automate the creation and management of governance groups in SailPoint, ensuring users are always in the right groups based on their role, department, or project assignments. For example, when a user changes departments in your HRIS, Tonkean can Remove Governance Group Members from old groups and Add them to new ones—no manual intervention required.

• Sync group membership with HR or project management tools
• Automate group creation for new initiatives
• Reduce risk of orphaned or over-provisioned accounts

4. Automated Compliance & Audit Reporting

With Tonkean, every identity and access change is tracked and logged. Easily generate compliance reports or trigger periodic reviews of entitlements and group memberships, integrating with tools like Google Sheets or Smartsheet for reporting and dashboards.

• Automate periodic access reviews and certifications
• Generate and distribute audit-ready reports
• Integrate with GRC and analytics platforms

5. Cross-Departmental Orchestration

Tonkean brings together IT, HR, procurement, and legal by orchestrating workflows that span multiple systems. For example, a procurement request for new software can trigger access provisioning in SailPoint only after legal approval, all managed through a single, automated process.

• Connect SailPoint with procurement and legal systems
• Automate multi-step, multi-team workflows
• Ensure compliance and reduce cycle times
