NHI management with idGenius
Most traditional identity systems treat APIs, service accounts, bots, scripts, and automation tools as afterthoughts.
idGenius brings governance, visibility, and lifecycle control to machine identities, ensuring every connection is securely managed from creation to deactivation.
NHI identity lifecycle
Machine identities operate continuously behind the scenes but often lack the oversight applied to human identities.
idGenius brings structure to non-human identity governance by supporting key lifecycle stages:
- Registration and validation of machine identities
- Assignment of roles, scopes, and owners
- Rotation and expiration of secrets and credentials
- Deactivation and audit logging upon retirement
With delegated ownership, automated reviews, and expiration policies, idGenius helps prevent hidden risks tied to unmanaged or orphaned machine accounts.
Automate vendor management
Manage entire vendor organizations from a single view—track compliance, update shared data, and ensure document requirements are consistently met.
- Update status, or metadata at the vendor org level.
- View and manage vendor-specific documents like ISO certs or insurance forms.
- Quickly assess organizational compliance status across all linked identities.
Delegate identity governance for vendors
Empowers those closest to the external users—business sponsors and project managers—to manage identities directly:
- Reduces IT burden through self-service and delegated admin.
- Enables faster, more accurate identity decisions.
- Maintains centralized control with built-in policies and workflows.
Onboard vendors at scale
Simplifies the onboarding process by allowing multiple vendor identities to be created in a single upload—saving time and reducing manual entry errors.
- Upload identities in bulk using structured templates.
- Automatically assign metadata like vendor type, project, and job title.
- Streamline onboarding across large vendor populations.
Challenges of managing
NHIs
Machine accounts often go unmanaged—despite outnumbering human users in many environments.Common challenges include:
- No clear ownership or accountability.
- Hard-coded or non-rotating credentials.
- Orphaned or unused accounts.
- Limited visibility into purpose or usage.
- Manual tracking of reviews and expirations.
idGenius reduces this exposure by automating non-human identity governance, assigning ownership, and enforcing expiration policies.
