Problems
Challenge
  • Access reviews relied on spreadsheets, ticket exports, and manual app logins, creating delays and errors.
  • IT could not reliably verify correct access, roles, or unnecessary admin permissions across applications.
  • Quarterly reviews let ex-employees and over-provisioned users retain standing access longer than intended.

‍

Solutions
Solution
  • CloudEagle.ai centralized users, roles, and permissions into one User Access Reviews dashboard.
  • Reviews were automatically scheduled and routed to the right reviewers without manual coordination.
  • High-risk users and rejected access triggered automated deprovisioning with proof attached.

‍

Profit
Result
  • ICEYE completed access reviews in days instead of months, meeting compliance timelines faster.
  • Unauthorized and unnecessary access was removed across critical applications, reducing standing access risks.
  • Audit evidence stayed available by default, improving certification accuracy and compliance readiness.

‍

Challenge

User access reviews at ICEYE were manual and fragmented, relying on spreadsheets, ticket exports, and direct app logins to verify access across a growing SaaS stack. 

Quarterly reviews left ex-employees and over-provisioned users with standing access longer than intended. 

Reviewers lacked context on roles and permissions, causing fatigue and rubber-stamped certifications, making it difficult to confirm who had access and whether it was still valid.

‍

Solution
  • CloudEagle.ai centralized user access reviews across all SaaS applications into one workflow.
  • Reviews were automatically scheduled and assigned to the right reviewers without manual follow-ups.
  • High-risk users, ex-employees, and elevated permissions were surfaced first for focused review.
  • Rejected access triggered automatic deprovisioning with proof attached inside the same workflow.
  • Audit logs and reviewer context were captured by default for faster compliance validation.

‍

Why CloudEagle.ai?
  • Automates the full access review lifecycle from assignment to deprovisioning and evidence collection.
  • Tracks review ownership and completion status for better certification visibility and accountability.
  • Prioritizes risky and privileged access instead of treating every user equally during reviews.
  • Integrates SSO, HRIS, and app permissions to provide a complete reviewer decision context.
  • Improves compliance accuracy while reducing manual work and long-term governance overhead.

‍

Impact

Efficient Review Process

  • Completed user access reviews across high-volume applications like Slack, GitHub, and Amazon Web Services without relying on spreadsheets.
  • Reviews now complete within a predictable, short review window instead of dragging across the quarter.
  • Saved 1,500+ hours annually by replacing manual access reviews with automated workflows.

‍

Immediate Security Improvements

  • Identified and removed unnecessary and unauthorized user access across critical applications.
  • Reduced exposure from ex-employees and over-provisioned users by closing standing access inside the review workflow itself.
  • Lowered insider risk by enforcing accurate, role-aligned access decisions cycle after cycle.

‍

Long-Term Governance Commitment

  • Leadership gained continuous visibility into user access, roles, and permissions across all SaaS applications.
  • Audit evidence and access history remained continuously available without ad hoc preparation before each audit.
  • IT moved from manual reviews toward ongoing, policy-driven access governance, with a clear path to extend the same model to AI tools and non-human identities.
