Identity Security Posture Management from RSA: see risk early, reduce the attack surface
RSA Governance & Lifecycle delivers Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM) capabilities, playing a central role in helping organizations strengthen their overall posture. Its advanced dashboards reveal identity risks, policy violations, and compliance status, giving organizations the insight they need to measure and improve identity security. As part of the RSA Unified Identity Platform, it can incorporate data signals from other RSA solutions, such as authentication context and access activity, to deliver deeper insights, identify risks, and support more-informed decisions.
Reduce your attack surface by advancing Zero Trust, implementing access assurance, and maintaining continuous compliance.
Streamline identity governance and compliance
RSA Governance & Lifecycle helps organizations meet evolving compliance requirements with automation, visibility, and reporting tools that align with NIS2 and DORA, as well as other standards and Zero Trust frameworks. The solution simplifies audits with dashboards that reveal identity risks and policy gaps, supports lifecycle governance through policy-driven automation, and accelerates integration efforts during mergers and acquisitions. ISPM dashboards further enhance oversight by providing clear insights that strengthen identity controls and demonstrate continuous compliance.
Reduce risks by automating the identity lifecycle
RSA Governance & Lifecycle automates identity lifecycle processes to reduce risk and strengthen identity posture. The solution provisions entitlements quickly, accelerates onboarding, and eliminates manual errors. Built-in gamification surfaces risky access and encourages timely reviews, helping enforce least privilege and strengthening compliance behavior across the organization.
Enhance security with full visibility into Microsoft Entra
RSA Governance & Lifecycle secures Microsoft environments with ISPM capabilities that provide centralized visibility, continuous identity risk evaluation, and insights into excessive access across Entra ID and hybrid environments. The solution enforces least privilege and supports Zero Trust through automated, intelligent policy decisions.

Frequently asked questions about ISPM and identity governance and administration (IGA) capabilities from RSA
RSA helps organizations streamline identity governance by combining real-time visibility, automated reviews, and continuous policy enforcement. The capabilities reduce manual effort, support audit readiness, and help maintain continuous compliance.
RSA delivers ISPM through integrated governance, access, and authentication capabilities. RSA Governance & Lifecycle provides the visibility, automation, and analytics needed to identify risk, enforce policy, and reduce the overall attack surface. RSA® ID Plus provides data signals, such as authentication context and access activity, to deliver deeper insights, find risks, and support more-informed decisions.
IGA manages identities, access, and entitlements. ISPM is a broader approach focused on proactively identifying and reducing identity risk before a breach occurs. It builds on IGA by incorporating access, authentication, analytics, and visibility to continuously evaluate and strengthen security posture.
No. ISPM builds on IGA and other identity security tools. IGA provides the foundation, while ISPM also relies on access, authentication, analytics, and visibility to proactively reduce the enterprise attack surface.
RSA Governance & Lifecycle automates identity governance processes, including access certifications, role modeling, and entitlement reviews. Built-in reports and compliance-ready dashboards aligned to frameworks like DORA, NIS2, and Zero Trust, help organizations cut audit prep time—which often last from weeks to days—while maintaining continuous compliance and minimizing human error. Integrated ISPM capabilities provide deeper visibility into identity risks, policy violations, and access patterns, helping organizations address potential compliance issues before they arise.
RSA provides the only enterprise-grade ISPM solution. Enabled by RSA Unified Identity Platform capabilities, organizations can integrate lifecycle automation, continuous risk monitoring, ISPM features, and a deep Microsoft Entra integration to enforce least privilege, uncover hidden identity risks, and take action across hybrid and multicloud environments. Organizations that want to strengthen security posture, improve efficiency, and simplify identity management at scale consistently choose RSA for governance-led ISPM.
