Key Takeaways
⇨ Saviynt's Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM) integrates AI-driven analytics with Zero Trust principles, providing real-time visibility and insights into access risk, compliance, and governance across both cloud and on-premises environments.
⇨ The ISPM platform empowers non-IT stakeholders through its natural language interface, Savi Copilot, allowing them to independently monitor and manage identity-related issues, thereby enhancing enterprise-wide identity governance beyond traditional IT confines.
⇨ The solution moves from static governance models to dynamic identity strategies, enabling organizations to leverage comprehensive data correlation for informed decision-making, ultimately addressing a broader scope of identity security posture in modern ERP landscapes.
Saviynt’s Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM) is redefining enterprise identity governance for the modern SAP environment. Launched as part of the company’s Identity Cloud platform, ISPM addresses the expanding complexity of managing identities across hybrid, cloud, and on-premises ERP landscapes.
The ISPM combines AI-driven analytics with Zero Trust principles to deliver real-time visibility and actionable insight into access risk, compliance posture, and governance effectiveness. Unlike traditional IGA tools that focus narrowly on credentials or access management, the solution offers full-spectrum coverage of the identity lifecycle—correlating user behavior, policy violations, configuration drift, and entitlement sprawl across the enterprise.
AI Meets Identity Risk Management
According to Saviynt, three foundational tenets are the heart of ISPM that transform how identity data is collected, refined, and utilized across the organization.

Comprehensive Data Collection and Correlation
ISPM gathers identity, access, policy, configuration, and event data from across the enterprise ecosystem. Sources include identity providers (IDPs), directory systems, identity governance platforms, SaaS and IaaS environments, cloud security tools, configuration management databases (CMDBs), and ERP systems like SAP. By correlating this data across both human and non-human users, ISPM delivers a unified, context-rich view of identity posture. This broad visibility allows organizations to uncover risks and make more informed, security-focused decisions.
Data Enrichment, Cleaning, and Transformation
Raw identity data is often noisy, duplicated, or incomplete. ISPM applies intelligent data transformation techniques—including automated enrichment and cleanup—to normalize and enhance this data before it enters the platform’s AI-driven identity data lake. This helps ensure accuracy, reduces redundancy, and sets the stage for higher-value governance and compliance operations.
Business User Empowerment Through Natural Language Access
Once enriched, identity data is made accessible through Savi Copilot, Saviynt’s embedded natural language interface. Data is stored in multiple formats—relational, OpenSearch, Graph, and Vector databases—then surfaced through dashboards and reports that any business stakeholder can generate. Without writing a single line of code or building a BI query, users can ask complex identity questions and may get fast, actionable answers.
This approach not only reduces reliance on technical teams but brings application owners, compliance officers, and line-of-business leaders into the identity governance process—filling one of the largest functional gaps in enterprise access management.
What This Means for SAPinsiders
Identity AI will redefine ERP compliance and risk management by 2026. For SAP technology executives, ISPM and similar solutions represent a strategic shift—from reactive, checklist-based compliance to proactive, risk-based identity governance. With end-to-end visibility into SAP and connected systems, organizations can reduce audit burdens, detect anomalies earlier, and automate entitlement corrections before they escalate into incidents.
Identity governance is shifting from IT-centric to enterprise-wide. ISPM’s most transformative feature may be its ability to empower non-IT stakeholders. With Savi Copilot, SAP application owners and business leaders can independently monitor access trends, control violations, and governance metrics—potentially enabling faster, decentralized, and more responsive identity decisions across ERP environments.
Static governance models are evolving into dynamic identity strategies. In a market that includes platforms like Microsoft Entra, Okta, and CyberArk—each offering elements of identity lifecycle management—Saviynt distinguishes itself by addressing the full spectrum of identity security posture. Rather than focusing solely on credentials or access provisioning, ISPM correlates a variety of data across the enterprise. This enables organizations to transition from fixed governance models to risk-aware identity strategies that align with modern ERP operations.
