tenfold

tenfold is an Austrian software provider for Identity & Access Governance headquartered in Vienna with over 2,000 customers worldwide. The solution enables companies to centrally manage and track users, permissions, roles, groups, and access – from user creation through access requests and approvals to recertifications and offboarding.

tenfold follows a pragmatic no-code approach with fast implementation, ease of use, and ready-made plugins for existing IT landscapes. This allows organizations to roll out tenfold with minimal effort and achieve quick results. Thanks to its low-threshold access to structured Identity Governance, the solution is also attractive outside the enterprise segment.

• User and Permission Management
  tenfold creates a central overview of all identities and access rights. IT, business departments, and compliance officers always keep track of who can access which resources – especially valuable in environments with historically grown permission structures.
   
• Identity Lifecycle Management – Joiner, Mover, Leaver
  New employees automatically receive the access they need when joining. When roles change, permissions are adjusted, and upon departure they are reliably revoked. This reduces risks from outdated accounts, unnecessary access rights, and accounts that were not deactivated.
   
• Recertification and Access Reviews
  Business owners can regularly check whether existing permissions are still necessary and appropriate. These access reviews are a central element of professional Identity & Access Governance.
   
• Reporting and Audit Transparency
  Integrated reporting functions make permissions, group memberships, and access rights evaluable – an important basis for audits, internal controls, and the continuous improvement of IAM processes.
   
• Separation of Duties (SoD)
  Freely customizable tags and rules prevent the assignment of conflicting permissions – even across system boundaries. This ensures that the four-eyes principle is maintained at all times.
   
• Event Monitoring
  tenfold enables the central evaluation of Windows events through a unified event log. This allows security teams to identify unusual activity more quickly and respond to it.
   
• Integration into Existing IT Landscapes
  tenfold supports on-premisesstructures as well as cloud and SaaS environments and can be integrated with common directory services, business applications, and target systems.

• Access Request Management
  Employees can request the access they need via self-service. Defined approval workflows ensure that permissions are granted in a structured and traceable manner – noticeably relieving IT teams.

tenfold is particularly well suited for companies that want to centralize their permission management, introduce governance processes, and reduce manual IAM efforts.

Typical use cases include:

• central management of users and permissions
• introduction of structured access requests
• automation of joiner, mover, and leaver processes
• regular recertification of permissions
• transparency across groups, roles, and access rights
• reduction of historically grown permission structures
• control of shared data in Microsoft 365
• support for audit and compliance requirements
• standardization of approval processes
• relief for IT through self-service functions
• building a pragmatic Identity Governance approach
• modernization of existing IAM processes

Companies must be able to determine at all times who has access to which systems, applications, and data. This is especially true for audits, internal controls, and regulatory requirements, where transparent permission management is essential.

tenfold helps companies grant access in a structured manner, review it regularly, and document it in a traceable way. This makes it possible to meet compliance requirements more efficiently and reduce risks from unnecessary or outdated permissions.

This makes tenfold particularly well suited for organizations with strict requirements around compliance and regulatory matters, for example in connection with internal controls, data protection, ISO requirements, NIS2, DORA or industry-specific audit requirements.

Many IGA platforms are designed for large enterprise environments and require complex implementation projects with long timelines. tenfold deliberately takes a different approach: fast implementation, high usability, and immediate benefits for IT, business departments, and compliance officers.

The focus is on the IAM processes that most often cause problems in practice – user creation, access requests, group management, approvals, recertifications, and offboarding. This positions tenfold as a pragmatic alternative for companies that want to build Identity & Access Governance in a structured way without launching an oversized project.

tenfold offers various licensing and usage models based on company size, feature scope, and use case. Licensing typically depends on the number of managed users, the features used, and the systems connected.

A special entry point is the free tenfold Community Edition, which makes it easier for smaller organizations to get started with Identity & Access Governance. It is aimed at companies that want to professionalize their user and permission management, but fall below the minimum licensing threshold of commercial solutions.

For larger organizations, tenfold offers three editions: Essentials allows for the management of local file servers and AD environments, Essentials 365 additionally enables integration with the Microsoft Cloud, and the Enterprise Edition also offers plugins for connecting third-party systems.

tenfold can be integrated into existing IT landscapes depending on architecture, security requirements, and target environment. The solution is suitable for organizations that want to incorporate classic on-premisessystems, directory services, business applications, and modern cloud services into their IAM processes.

Companies can use tenfold to make existing permission structures visible and gradually transition to a modern governance architecture. The focus here is on simple integration, transparent processes, and controlled expansion.

As an IAM specialist, IPG supports companies with the implementation, integration, and further development of tenfold. We combine methodical Identity & Access Management know-how with practical implementation experience.

It starts with IAM consulting: together with the customer, IPG develops the right tenfold architecture and analyzes existing permission and access structures to identify vulnerabilities and historically grown risks. Building on this, IPG designs Identity-Governance processes and supports the implementation of Access Request Management, including clear approval workflows.

A key component of many projects is the automation of joiner, mover, and leaver processes, complemented by the development of robust role and permission concepts. The implementation of regular recertifications and access reviews is also part of the service offering, as is the integration of directory services, business applications, and other target systems into the tenfold environment.

In addition, IPG supports companies with audit and compliance requirements and trains business departments and IT teams in using the solution. After implementation, IPG accompanies ongoing operations and the further development of the tenfold environment, taking on managed services for the entire IAM landscape as needed.

IPG combines methodical IAM know-how with practical implementation experience and supports companies in tenfold sustainably embedding into their organizational and IT processes.
