In today’s complex hybrid environments, over-privileged accounts remain a top cause of data breaches—especially in regulated sectors like finance, healthcare, and energy. With fragmented identity ecosystems spanning Microsoft, AWS, SaaS, and legacy systems, enforcing the Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP) is both a security mandate and a compliance necessity.

This article explores how Clarity Security delivers a unified identity governance framework to extend PoLP across all tiers of access—privileged, high-sensitivity, and general users. From Tier 0 root accounts to SaaS productivity roles, Clarity enables real-time visibility, automated policy enforcement, and dynamic risk scoring across the entire identity lifecycle.

By integrating access reviews, RBAC, anomaly detection, and compliance automation into a single platform, Clarity empowers security and compliance teams to:

• Identify and remediate hidden or shadow permissions,

• Automate reviews and risk-based approvals,

• Enforce least privilege across Microsoft and non-Microsoft environments,

• Meet strict requirements under SOX, HIPAA, GDPR, and more.

The result? Stronger identity security posture, continuous compliance, and reduced risk across hybrid infrastructures.
