# Josys

> Josys is the Autonomous Identity Governance Platform that simplifies how IT works. Our AI-powered identity governance and administration (IGA) solution provides IT teams and MSPs with 360° control over their identity and SaaS portfolio by unifying Access Governance, Identity Security, and License Optimization.

## What is Josys?

Josys is the Autonomous Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) Platform designed to simplify how IT works. Trusted by IT teams and Managed Service Providers (MSPs), Josys delivers complete visibility and control over every user, application, and access permission within their identity perimeter.  By automating critical workflows, including access review audits, lifecycle management, shadow IT detection, and license optimization, Josys transforms complex access policies and governance into seamless, autonomous processes that drastically reduce security risks, optimize spend, and unlock true operational efficiency.

## Core Platform Pillars

### 1. Access Governance
- Automate onboarding, offboarding, and access reviews with AI-driven policies and workflows
- Enforce least-privilege access across every application and user
- Replace periodic, manual access reviews (which previously took weeks) with continuous, automated assessments that complete in hours
- AI prioritizes high-risk permissions for human review while automatically handling routine cases
- Audit-ready compliance reporting available on demand

### 2. Identity Security & Risk Governance
- Continuous risk detection across all user identities and SaaS applications
- AI-powered SaaS Risk Analyzer assigns each app a Security Score (0–100) and Risk Level Assessment using open-source intelligence, public data, and vendor-specific attributes
- Shadow IT detection: instantly flags unauthorized apps, assesses their compliance posture, and enforces access controls
- Multi-source identity enrichment: merges core identities (e.g., Microsoft Entra ID) with HR system attributes to build comprehensive identity profiles
- Monitors for orphaned accounts, over-privileged users, and unauthorized access in real time

### 3. License Optimization
- On average, 25% of SaaS licenses are unassigned, underutilized, or provisioned to users who no longer need access
- Organizations waste an average of 30% of their SaaS spend on unused or redundant licenses
- License Optimization Dashboard identifies waste, consolidates redundant app instances, and right-sizes licenses based on real usage data
- Benchmarks spending against aggregated purchasing behavior across thousands of companies
