    Identity for Disconnected Apps Partner

    Cerby

    Identity automation for the long tail of non-standard SaaS and disconnected applications that cannot federate with SSO or SCIM.

    Where Cerby Fits in the Stack

    Cerby is the identity platform for the apps your IdP cannot reach. While Microsoft Entra ID covers your federated SaaS, dozens of business-critical applications — social, marketing, finance, legacy — have no SSO/SCIM support and remain governed by shared passwords and tribal knowledge.

    Cerby brings these disconnected apps under modern identity governance: passwordless access, MFA enforcement, automated provisioning and de-provisioning, and shared-account orchestration without ever exposing credentials to end users.

    For Microsoft-centric environments, Cerby extends Entra ID Conditional Access and lifecycle controls to the apps Entra cannot natively federate, closing one of the most common audit and breach gaps.

    Platform Capabilities

    • Passwordless access to non-federated SaaS
    • Automated MFA enforcement on apps without native MFA
    • Joiner-mover-leaver automation across the long tail
    • Shared-account governance without password sharing
    • Native integration with Entra ID, Okta, and Google
    • Audit logging for previously invisible app activity

    How CriticalMatrix Uses Cerby

    Long-Tail SaaS Governance

    We deploy Cerby to extend identity governance over the disconnected apps your IdP cannot federate, eliminating shared passwords and ungoverned access.

    Joiner-Mover-Leaver Automation

    We use Cerby to automate provisioning and de-provisioning across non-SCIM apps, closing the gap that drives most audit findings around terminated-user access.

    MFA Everywhere

    We extend MFA enforcement to apps that don't natively support it, satisfying NYDFS, SOC 2, and cyber-insurance requirements for universal MFA.

    Engagement Patterns

    Disconnected App Discovery

    A 2-3 week engagement to inventory the SaaS apps outside your IdP, classify risk and ownership, and design a Cerby rollout plan.

    Cerby Identity Extension

    A 6-10 week engagement to onboard priority disconnected apps into Cerby, integrate with Entra ID/Okta, and configure JML and MFA policies.

    Continuous Long-Tail Governance

    Ongoing managed access reviews, app onboarding, and audit reporting for the disconnected app estate.
