Discover, secure, and manage every non-human identity.
Discover, secure, and manage every service account, API key, and machine credential across your environment. Eliminate the identity blind spot that attackers exploit most.
The NHI Security Challenge
Service accounts with permanent credentials that never rotate
Automated credential rotation with just-in-time provisioning and automatic expiry
No inventory of API keys, OAuth tokens, and service accounts
Complete discovery and cataloging of every non-human identity across your environment
Orphaned credentials from departed employees and decommissioned services
Continuous lifecycle management that detects and revokes orphaned identities
Over-privileged service accounts with admin-level access
Least-privilege enforcement with continuous access right-sizing based on actual usage
How TigerIdentity governs non-human identities
A continuous three-phase workflow to discover, assess, and govern every machine credential.
Discover & Inventory
Connect your identity sources and automatically catalog every non-human identity
Assess & Prioritize
Score risk for each NHI based on privileges, age, usage, and exposure
Govern & Automate
Enforce rotation policies, right-size permissions, and eliminate orphaned credentials
Architecture
How non-human identity governance follows a full lifecycle.
Discovery is just the first turn of the ring. After an NHI is found, it moves through ownership assignment, risk assessment, rotation enforcement, and continuous monitoring before eventual decommissioning. No phase is optional; each one closes a different attack surface.
The NHI governance shift
From unmanaged credential sprawl to governed identity fabric.
Without TigerIdentity
- Service accounts with permanent credentials that never rotate
- No inventory: API keys and OAuth tokens exist outside any system of record
- Orphaned credentials persist for months after employees depart
- Over-privileged accounts with admin-level access to production systems
With TigerIdentity
- Automated rotation with just-in-time provisioning and automatic expiry
- Complete discovery across 80+ platforms, continuously updated
- Continuous lifecycle management revokes orphaned identities automatically
- Least-privilege enforcement with right-sizing based on actual usage
Everything you need for NHI governance.
Discovery, rotation, JIT access, risk scoring, and relationship mapping. All automated.
Credential Discovery
Automatically discover and inventory every service account, API key, OAuth token, and certificate across cloud and on-prem environments.
Automated Rotation
Schedule and enforce credential rotation policies. Rotate secrets without downtime using zero-touch automation.
Just-In-Time Access
Provision short-lived credentials on demand. Eliminate standing privileges for CI/CD pipelines and service accounts.
Usage Analytics
Track every authentication and API call made by non-human identities. Identify unused and over-privileged credentials.
Risk Scoring
Continuously assess risk for each NHI based on privilege level, rotation age, usage patterns, and exposure surface.
Relationship Mapping
Visualize dependencies between services, credentials, and resources. Understand blast radius before making changes.
Principle
“A vault only protects the secrets you put in it.”
Why TigerIdentity for NHI Governance
Purpose-built to close the non-human identity security gap that legacy IAM ignores.
Unified Identity View
Manage human and non-human identities from a single platform. No more blind spots between IAM silos.
Behavioral Baselines
Machine learning models establish normal behavior for each NHI and alert on deviations in real-time.
Zero-Downtime Rotation
Rotate credentials automatically without service interruptions using dual-credential strategies.
Vault Integration
Native integration with HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, and GCP Secret Manager.

Frequently asked questions
Non-human identities include service accounts, API keys, OAuth tokens, certificates, CI/CD credentials, bot accounts, and any other machine or application identity that authenticates to your systems. NHIs typically outnumber human identities 10-to-1 in enterprise environments.
