An identity lifecycle audit for disconnected applications checks whether provisioning, access changes, and deprovisioning actually hold up for the apps that sit outside your identity provider, the social platforms, HR tools, finance portals, and on-prem systems that don't support SAML, SCIM, or APIs. A complete audit covers four areas: whether you have visibility and ownership of every disconnected app, whether you can prove lifecycle control from provisioning through offboarding, whether you can produce the evidence to survive a SOC 2, ISO 27001, or SOX audit, and whether your approach scales without brittle scripts or manual work. This free guide walks IT and security teams through each area, flags the red flags that signal control gaps, and scores your risk.
Assess your identity lifecycle across four areas:
- Visibility and ownership: Do you have a current inventory of every disconnected app, and a documented, role-based owner for each?
- Lifecycle control: Are provisioning, access approvals, and offboarding automated and consistent, including for apps without SSO or SCIM?
- Audit readiness: Can you produce who-has-access and when-it-changed evidence, with activity tied to individuals even on shared accounts?
- Scalability: Do lifecycle workflows run without custom scripts or manual steps, and survive app UI changes?
Nearly half of organizations (47%) have failed a regulatory compliance requirement because they couldn't secure disconnected applications. Source: Cerby / Ponemon Institute Report: The Hidden Cybersecurity Threat in Organizations
