The Problem

Keeping employees aligned with policies and controlling access across a growing organization is time-consuming and error-prone. Manual policy tracking increases the risk of missed reviews, outdated documentation, and non-compliance. Access management — onboarding, offboarding, role changes, and periodic access reviews — relies on checklists and tribal knowledge that break down at scale. When employees don't acknowledge policies, when access lingers after role changes, or when offboarding is incomplete, the organization is exposed to both compliance failures and security risk.

Why It Matters to CTOs and CEOs

Policy and access management is a foundational compliance requirement across every framework — SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, and beyond. Auditors scrutinize policy acknowledgment records, access provisioning logs, and offboarding completeness. A single orphaned account or missed policy attestation can generate an audit exception that delays certification.

For CTOs, the challenge is operational: managing access across multiple identity providers, cloud environments, and SaaS tools without a centralized enforcement layer. For CEOs, it's a liability: insider risk, excessive privileges, and incomplete offboarding are among the most common findings in security incidents and compliance failures.

As companies scale from 20 to 200+ employees, the manual processes that once worked become untenable. Every new hire, role change, and departure creates a compliance event that must be tracked, documented, and verified.

How the Market Responds

Vanta simplifies policy creation with templates and a step-by-step builder and automatically tracks employee acceptance. It ensures personnel remain compliant through built-in security awareness training, background checks, and customizable onboarding/offboarding workflows. OneTrust centralizes policy information, version control, and approvals, enabling customized workflows and tracking attestations and exceptions. Drata's governance module consolidates controls and evidence, provides continuous audit readiness, and automates access reviews and accountability.

These platforms reduce friction in managing policies and user access — but operating the workflows, following up on non-compliance, and ensuring completeness still requires manual oversight.

How Agency Solves It

Agency operates your policy and access management program as a continuous, fully managed service — ensuring every employee is aligned with current policies and every access decision is compliant, documented, and auditable.

Automated policy lifecycle management — Agency maintains your policy library, tracks version control, distributes policies to employees, and monitors acknowledgment status. When policies are updated, affected personnel are notified and re-attestation is tracked automatically.

Continuous access reviews — Agency monitors access across identity providers (Okta, JumpCloud), cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP), and SaaS applications to flag dormant accounts, excessive privileges, and access that doesn't match current roles.

Compliant onboarding and offboarding — Agency ensures every new hire receives the correct access, acknowledges required policies, and completes security training. Every departure triggers immediate access deprovisioning, equipment compliance verification, and documentation — with full audit trail.

Real-time enforcement — Agency doesn't wait for quarterly reviews to catch access issues. Privilege drift, policy non-acknowledgment, and incomplete offboarding are flagged and resolved in real time.

Audit-ready documentation — every policy acknowledgment, access change, and review decision is documented and maintained as audit evidence automatically. When auditors ask for proof, it's already collected and current.

Agency doesn't just provide tools for policy and access management. Agency enforces your policies and manages access on your behalf — continuously, consistently, and with the rigor auditors expect.

Policies that aren't enforced are policies that don't exist. Agency continuously manages policy distribution, access provisioning, and offboarding compliance with forward-deployed AI — so every employee is aligned, every account is governed, and every auditor is satisfied.

Audit-ready every day of the year starts with continuous access enforcement. Agency's forward-deployed AI agents manage policy distribution, access provisioning, and offboarding compliance autonomously—eliminating the manual tracking that creates audit exceptions. Automated remediation orchestration catches access drift and policy non-compliance in real time, so compliance evidence is always current and auditors always satisfied.
