Identity & Access Management Consulting

Secure the identities that aren't people.

Service accounts, functional accounts, and now autonomous AI agents already outnumber your employees — and most enterprises can't tell you who owns them, what they can touch, or when they were last reviewed. Agentity brings those non-human identities under control.

Why now

The identity perimeter moved — and nobody secured the new edge.

Every organization has spent a decade hardening human logins: MFA, SSO, joiner-mover-leaver. Meanwhile the accounts that actually run the business — batch jobs, integrations, robots, and increasingly AI agents — were left with static credentials, no ownership, and no lifecycle. That gap is where modern breaches happen.

They're everywhere and unowned

Functional and service accounts accumulate for years. When the person who created one leaves, the credential lives on — over-privileged and forgotten.

AI agents changed the math

Autonomous agents authenticate, call APIs, and take action on their own. Each one is a non-human identity that needs scoping, monitoring, and an off-switch.

Regulators are catching up

Audit and compliance frameworks increasingly demand proof of ownership, least privilege, and review for every identity — not just the human ones.

Services

From blind spot to governed program.

Engagements are scoped to meet you where you are — whether you need a one-time inventory or a standing program that keeps non-human identity under control as your AI footprint grows.

01

NHI Discovery & Inventory

Find every service account, functional account, API key, and agent identity across your directories, databases, and platforms — then map ownership, entitlements, and risk.

02

Governance & Lifecycle Design

Establish ownership, certification, rotation, and decommissioning for non-human identities — the joiner-mover-leaver equivalent for accounts that never had one.

03

AI Agent Identity Strategy

Define how autonomous agents are provisioned, scoped to least privilege, monitored, and revoked — so AI adoption doesn't outrun your security controls.

04

Privilege Escalation Detection

Build continuous evaluation logic that watches the directory for non-admin accounts quietly accruing admin-level access — and stops it before it's abused.

05

SailPoint IdentityIQ Engineering

Custom rules, connectors, and API extensions to bring non-human identities into your existing IdentityIQ governance platform instead of a spreadsheet.

06

Automation & Audit Pipelines

Replace manual extraction and support processes with automated, Java-based export and CRUD pipelines that satisfy governance, compliance, and audit on demand.

Approach

Engineering-led, audit-ready.

This isn't slideware. Every recommendation comes from someone who has shipped the code and passed the audit.

  1. 1

    Assess

    Inventory your non-human identities and quantify the risk — over-privilege, stale credentials, unowned accounts, and unmonitored agents.

  2. 2

    Design

    Define ownership, least-privilege entitlements, certification cadence, and lifecycle policy tailored to your platforms and regulatory requirements.

  3. 3

    Implement

    Build the connectors, rules, automation, and monitoring — integrated with your existing IAM stack — that turn policy into enforced reality.

  4. 4

    Operate

    Hand off a repeatable program with the runbooks and dashboards to keep non-human identity governed as your environment scales.

About

Brandon Gibson

Founder & Principal Consultant

I've spent my career at the intersection of software engineering and identity security — most recently as a Software Engineer and Senior InfoSec Engineer at a Fortune 500 bank, where I built the automation, governance, and detection logic that keeps non-human identities in check across a highly regulated enterprise.

My focus has been on what large organizations call functional accounts: the non-human identities that run integrations, jobs, and services. I've architected data export and audit pipelines, engineered custom SailPoint IdentityIQ rules and connectors, and written continuous evaluation logic that algorithmically detects and prevents privilege escalation among non-admin accounts.

I'm also a published IEEE researcher on API-driven identity breaches — co-author of a study on the 2021 LinkedIn data breach affecting 700M users — so I approach this work knowing exactly how these identities get exploited, and how to defend them.

Get started

Do you know how many non-human identities you have?

Most teams can't answer that with confidence. A short conversation is the fastest way to find out where your exposure is — and what a first engagement would look like. Send me a note and I'll get back to you within one business day.
