Sharelock is an identity threat detection and response (ITDR) company. Its platform watches how human and non-human identities behave across on-premises and cloud systems, spots misuse such as privilege abuse or lateral movement, and investigates and contains incidents automatically. It is built for security teams, especially in regulated European organisations, that need to protect privileged accounts, service accounts, API keys and AI agents.
The product is built in Rome under GDPR and aligned with NIS2, DORA and the EU AI Act, which matters to buyers who need identity data to stay in Europe.

Identity Security Posture Management
Posture management is for identity and security teams who want to remove risk before an attacker finds it. It continuously maps the identity graph across on-premises Active Directory and multi-cloud environments, finds weaknesses, enforces least privilege and monitors identities across the hybrid estate in real time.
- Automated hygiene for misconfigured accounts, orphaned privileges and shadow admins
- Visibility of hidden admin rights, dormant privileges and non-human identities such as API keys and AI agents
- Automatic revocation of unused privileges, clean-up of orphaned accounts and dynamic MFA enforcement
Identity Threat Detection
Threat detection helps SOC teams catch identity attacks without drowning in alerts. An unsupervised learning engine builds a behavioural baseline for every human and non-human identity and flags departures from it, rather than relying on static rules.
- Authentication anomalies such as impossible travel
- Authorisation anomalies such as scope creep
- Resource access anomalies such as data exfiltration
- Real-time detection of lateral movement and privilege escalation, with the path mapped as it unfolds
- Insider threat analysis down to individual transactions and queries
- Session monitoring after access is granted, across multi-cloud and proprietary legacy systems
SIA, Security Investigation Autopilot
SIA is for teams that cannot investigate every identity alert by hand. Its agents aim to “close the case, not just the alert”: SIA takes in the alert, correlates signals across the identity estate, maps the attack path and runs the remediation. It examines every identity and system an incident touched and gathers the context automatically, then contains the threat by isolating the account, revoking sessions or enforcing MFA. Every action is logged, explainable and tied to role-based access controls, which gives auditors a ready trail. Investigations take a reported 31 seconds.
How It Works
A single agentic AI engine runs continuously across prevention, detection and response. Three kinds of input feed its central data collection engine: account activity logs, identity system activity and identity context. Its outputs go to IAM and IGA provisioning, Active Directory and PAM, and SIEM, SOAR and ticketing systems.
| Component | What it does |
|---|---|
| Data collection | The engine gathers activity and context from connected identity systems, including CyberArk and the customer’s SIEM and SOAR. |
| Behavioural analytics | Unsupervised machine learning learns the environment and watches the whole session after access is granted, not only the login. |
| Response | SIA investigates and remediates, pushing actions back to provisioning, directory, PAM and ticketing systems. |
| Legacy connectors | Custom banking applications, homegrown treasury systems and mainframes connect through agentless Node-RED integration. |
| Data residency | Data stays in the EU, with no exposure to the US Cloud Act. Identity controls, anomalies and remediation actions are logged and packaged as audit-ready evidence, which supports NIS2 and DORA work at EU financial firms and essential entities. |
Identities And Systems Covered
| Human users | Each human identity gets its own behavioural baseline |
|---|---|
| Privileged accounts | Continuous discovery, monitoring and protection of privileged and service accounts, including those that cannot use MFA |
| Service accounts and service principals | Inventoried with owner, rotation status and privilege level |
| Secrets and API keys | Treated as non-human identities, with secrets rotation after a compromise |
| AI agents | Treated as non-human identities that can be isolated if compromised |
| Workload identities | Included in non-human identity coverage |
| Directories and identity providers | Active Directory, Entra ID and Okta |
| Cloud | AWS and other cloud environments, including cloud entitlements |
| Legacy and business systems | Proprietary legacy systems, custom banking applications, treasury systems and mainframes |
Agentic AI Capabilities
No-Code Agentic Processes
Users can build any number of agentic processes from the interface without code or engineering effort. Each action stays traceable to the signal that started it, and automating these steps cuts investigation time by a reported 80 per cent.
Non-Human Identity And AI Agent Response
For non-human identities, SIA revokes compromised credentials, starts secrets rotation and isolates compromised agents. Detection also covers living-off-the-land techniques (attacks that use legitimate built-in tools), which can signal a compromised service account or AI agent.
