Platform
Know who has access to what across your cloud and SaaS environments, and keep that access at least privilege as people and projects change. Apono, now part of 1Password, governs access through policy and time-bound grants, then turns every grant into review-ready audit evidence, without the long rollouts and static role catalogs of legacy identity governance.
Cloud identity governance is how you control who can access which cloud and SaaS resources and prove they still need that access. It covers the full access lifecycle: from the policies that decide access to the reviews that confirm it’s still right.
Identity governance in the cloud is harder than it was on-prem. Every cloud service and SaaS app has its own permission model, and entitlements pile up each time someone joins a project or changes teams.
Traditional IGA programs were built for slower, role-based environments, so reviews often become quarterly spreadsheets where reviewers approve access they can’t fully judge. Access that nobody revisits becomes standing access, and standing access increases the opportunity for a compromised identity to reach sensitive systems.
How It Works
Apono builds governance into how access is granted, so reviews confirm a clean record instead of untangling years of drift. Here’s how the lifecycle runs:
When governance runs inside the access workflow, reviews get lighter and the evidence builds itself:
Case Study
Labelbox replaced manual access management with policy-driven, time-bound access through Apono. They used custom RBAC roles and risk-based approvals with a full audit trail, and reduced their Kubernetes attack surface by 98%.
“We’ve reduced the time it takes people to get access to the things they need to do their job. We freed up the team’s time.”

Apono gives security and IAM teams one view of who has access to what across cloud and SaaS, with the context behind each grant. Access review reports are generated from that record, so a review cycle starts with evidence instead of a blank spreadsheet. For deeper cleanup of existing permissions, see Access Discovery and Remediation.

The Apono Connector runs in your environment and doesn’t read, cache, or store secrets. Governance data stays tied to the systems you already trust, and the platform doesn’t become a new place where credentials pile up.

Most customers deploy access control across their organization within about two weeks, and many reach full Zero Standing Privilege in 4–6 weeks. Apono connects to your cloud and SaaS stack through 200+ out-of-the-box integrations.

Cloud identity governance is the practice of controlling who can access cloud and SaaS resources and proving that access is still appropriate. Apono does this through policy-driven, time-bound access grants and access review reports built from a complete audit trail.
Traditional IGA was designed around static roles and periodic certification campaigns. Identity governance in the cloud has to handle permissions that change daily across many cloud services. Apono governs access as it’s granted, with time-bound grants that expire on their own, so there’s less standing access to review later.
Apono logs every request, approval, grant, and revocation, then generates access review reports from that record. Reviewers see what was granted and who approved it, and time-bound access has often already expired by the time a review starts.
No. Apono isn’t SSO. It works with the identity provider you already run, such as Okta or Entra ID, and uses that identity context to decide who can get access to which cloud and SaaS resources.
Yes. Apono’s access records support SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOX, and GDPR programs and help improve audit readiness. Apono’s own SOC 2 Type II certification covers Apono itself, while its reports help your team demonstrate how privileges are controlled.
See who has access to what across your cloud and SaaS environments, and replace standing entitlements with policy-driven access that expires on its own. Book a demo to see how Apono turns every grant into review-ready evidence.
