Okta and Surf AI

Operationalize your Okta access findings: clean permissions, clear owners

Okta governs who can access what across your workforce and apps. Surf AI helps operationalize remediation for detected risks, removes standing access that no one uses, and keeps your identity footprint clean as people and roles change.

  • Owner-driven access cleanup
  • Standing access removed safely
  • Identity hygiene that holds
Okta remediation workflow from detection to fix

Access risks are visible. Cleaning them up is the work.

Okta shows dormant accounts, over-provisioned roles, and access that should have been removed. Acting on any of it means knowing whose access it is, whether removing it breaks a workflow, and getting the change approved.

That is manual, so risky access lingers and the list of access findings only grows. Every joiner, mover, and leaver adds more. Without a closed loop, identity hygiene decays between certification cycles and the backlog of stale access never really shrinks.

What changes

From a growing queue to a backlog that shrinks.

Ownership

Every finding gets an accountable owner

Surf resolves the accountable human for each access risk from identity, HR, code, and on-call context, so nothing waits in an unowned queue.

Closure

Closed and verified, not just ticketed

Surf drives each access risk to a verified fix and writes the outcome back, turning a ticket into a closed, recorded loop.

Backlog

The backlog shrinks and stays down

Recurring issues are fixed at the source and stop coming back, so hygiene improves and holds instead of resetting each cycle.

How it works

From finding to verified closure.

Bring in the findings

Ingest

Okta findings flow into Surf with full context, so every issue enters the loop ready to act on rather than waiting in a queue.

Own it and model it

Resolve

The Context Graph names the accountable owner and compliance scope, and availability across identity, HR, cloud, code, and IT systems.

Remediate and write back

Close

The owner gets a one-tap action. One approval drives the fix through your change workflow, and Surf writes the verified outcome back to Okta.

All of it runs inside the Context Graph, a continuously updated knowledge graph that links identity, cloud, code, HR, and IT systems.

Context Graph

Capabilities that turn Okta findings into closed, owned work.

Subject defragmentation

A person or service is scattered across identity, HR, code, and cloud systems under different handles. The Context Graph resolves them into one subject, so ownership points to a real, accountable human even when the record is stale.

Ripple effect modeling

Before recommending action, Surf simulates downstream impact across services, entitlements, and data access, so teams know what a fix will and will not break, and which option is safest.

Compliance embedding

Regulated scope, change-approval rules, and policy are properties of every node, resolved alongside ownership rather than chased separately.

Availability awareness

Leave status, on-call schedules, and identity activity determine who can act, not just who is listed as the owner on paper.

Bidirectional lifecycle closure

Surf writes remediation outcomes back to Okta with action and approver, so the finding becomes a verified closure with a complete audit trail on both sides.

One graph, every domain

Because the graph spans identity, HR, ITSM, and SaaS, Surf assigns an accountable owner even when a finding never maps to a cloud asset, the cross-domain reach most remediation tools lack.
