One Identity

One Identity is a leading global provider in the field of Identity und Access Management (IAM) with headquarters in Aliso Viejo, California. The One Identity Manager was originally developed by Völker Informatik in Berlin and Dresden. As part of the Quest Software Group, One Identity offers a comprehensive portfolio of solutions for the management of user identities, access rights and privileged accounts. The aim is to support companies of all sizes in secure digitization and compliance with regulatory requirements. One Identity's platforms are characterized by high integration capability, strong automation and proven scalability - whether in the cloud, on-premises or hybrid.

One Identity takes a modular approach with seamless integration between solutions and offers end-to-end IAM functionality from managing simple user accounts to securing privileged access to critical systems.

One Identity Manager and Safeguard can be purchased as on-prem software, but also offer a SaaS version:

• One Identity Manager On Demand
   
• Safeguard On Demand

One Identity covers all central use cases in IAM:

• Identity Governance & Administration (IGA): Automated processes for onboarding, role management, approval workflows and auditing.
   
• Privileged Access Management (PAM): Control over administrative and particularly critical accounts, with just-in-time access and session recording.
   
• Microsoft-centric automation: Management of Active Directory and Azure AD with role-based templates and policy enforcement.
   
• Multi-cloud governance: visibility and control over authorizations in cloud infrastructures.
   
• Cloud access management (OneLogin): Uniform control of user access to SaaS applications and internal systems via identity federation and adaptive MFA.

Thanks to open interfaces, connectors and standard protocols (e.g. SCIM, SAML, REST, LDAP), One Identity can be quickly integrated into existing enterprise environments. 

One Identity helps companies with:

• Transparent user permissions

• Access logging

• Recertification

• Separation of duties (SoD)

The platform thus meets key requirements under:

• ISO27001

• GDPR

• Recertification

• SOX

• KRITIS and industry-specific regulations

One Identity stands out from many other providers thanks to its holistic platform approach: Instead of isolated standalone solutions for identity governance, access management, or privileged access management (PAM), One Identity combines these functions into a single, integrated identity security platform. This enables end-to-end control of access processes - from request and approval through to monitoring and auditing. Particularly noteworthy is the deep integration with Microsoft and hybrid environments, as well as the focus on a unified data foundation for identities and permissions. Compared to specialized best-of-breed providers, One Identity thus offers fewer tool silos, reduced integration effort, and a consistent security strategy across all identities.

One Identity uses a modular licensing model based on usage and the features employed. Licensing is typically per user, account, or target system - depending on the specific product. Additionally, feature modules such as governance, analytics, or session management can be added as needed. Customers can choose between traditional on-premises licenses with maintenance and subscription-based SaaS models.

One Identity supports various deployment models, including on-premises, SaaS, and hybrid scenarios. It also offers both single-tenant and multi-tenant architectures. This allows organizations to choose the deployment model that best fits their IT strategy, security requirements, and regulatory compliance needs.

IPG also offers the on-prem version and the cloud version as a managed service. This means that all incidents, problems, service requests or changes are carried out by the local partner IPG and no direct communication with the manufacturer is necessary.
