DiligenceID
Carries verifiable facts about a person — a qualification, a licence, a current registration — that another organisation can check.
Answers: what is true about this person?
What it does
Where Delegance fits.
Four things that get confused with each other. Here is what each one is responsible for, so you can tell quickly whether Delegance is the right tool for your problem.
Alongside your existing platforms
- Authentication
- Establishes who someone is. Your identity provider does this, and Delegance does not replace or duplicate it. Delegance begins after that question is answered.
- Access management
- Decides what an account can do and enforces it. Your platforms keep doing this. Delegance governs the business decision that should sit behind an entitlement.
- Identity governance
- Reviews and certifies access over time. Delegance complements it by making the reason for an entitlement available at review time rather than reconstructed afterwards.
- Privileged access management
- Controls elevated sessions and credentials. Delegance covers the authority to hold that privilege at all, and for how long.
Alongside our other products
Three separate propositions. They connect where an organisation wants them to, and none of them needs the others to be useful.
Delegance
Governs who may act on behalf of whom, for what purpose, under whose approval, and until when.
Answers: may this person do this, and on whose authority?
In development
Vigilance
Observes identity, access and digital trust signals, and carries meaningful risk through to an owned response.
Answers: what changed, and does anyone need to act?
A credential can prove a person holds a qualification. That is not the same as authority to act for an organisation, and neither is the same as noticing that the authority was used at three in the morning. Different questions, different tools.
When Delegance is not the answer
Worth saying plainly, so nobody spends a quarter finding out.
Your problem is permanent access
If the authority is ongoing and attached to a job rather than a person and a period, a well-designed role in your existing platform is the better tool.
You need enforcement you do not have
Delegance governs decisions; it does not add enforcement to a platform that cannot enforce. If the control surface is not there, that comes first.
You need it in production this quarter
Delegance is in development. If your need is immediate, MAITS does this work as a consulting engagement today.
You are proving facts, not authority
If the question is whether someone holds a qualification or a licence, that is DiligenceID.
Still the right fit?
Tell us the authority you cannot currently explain, and we will tell you honestly whether this is the tool for it.
