Saviynt and Amazon Q Index: Expanding Identity Security Visibility

As organizations accelerate their adoption of cloud applications and AI-powered tools, maintaining comprehensive visibility into identities, access, and entitlements across disparate systems has never been more critical. Security teams struggle to answer fundamental questions: Who has access to what? Are permissions appropriate? Where are the risks hiding in our expanding application landscape? 

Saviynt's integration with Amazon Q Index addresses these challenges head on by enabling enterprise security teams to achieve comprehensive identity visibility without integration complexity. 

Understanding Amazon Q Index 

Amazon Q Index acts as a centralized, intelligent repository that aggregates and indexes SaaS applications, including collaboration platforms, project management tools, customer relationship management systems, and file storage services. Organizations using Amazon Q Business connect their critical applications to this index, creating a unified dataset that respects user-level permissions and maintains security controls. 

Comprehensive Coverage Through Unified Identity Intelligence 

The combination of Amazon Q Index's extensive application coverage and Saviynt ISPM's advanced analytics creates unprecedented visibility into identity security across the enterprise. Amazon Q Index aggregates data from it’s library of essential business applications—including Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Jira, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Slack, Confluence, GitHub, Box, and Dropbox—continuously syncing information to maintain currency. As a Data Accessor, Saviynt ISPM taps into this centralized repository to deliver immediate identity security coverage across all connected applications without requiring individual integrations for each system. 

This partnership delivers immediate value: organizations gain a more complete understanding of their identity posture and exactly how it reached that state through enhanced visibility into user activities, access patterns, entitlements, and resource usage. Analysts can instantly pull compliance evidence, approvals, and historical context directly alongside identity events—eliminating manual effort, dramatically accelerating audits and investigations, and ensuring every identity governance decision is accurate and policy-aligned. As organizations add new applications to their Amazon Q Index, Saviynt ISPM gains additional visibility, ensuring identity security coverage scales effortlessly with business needs. 

Real-World Impact: Integrating Jira Data 

Consider a practical example with Jira, Atlassian's widely adopted project management and issue tracking platform. In most organizations, Jira contains critical intellectual property, tracks sensitive development initiatives, and manages customer support cases that may include confidential information. Beyond providing visibility into Jira access itself, the integration delivers something more powerful: the ability to correlate Jira ticket data with ISPM event data to understand the "why" behind access changes. 

Identity and security teams frequently encounter puzzling scenarios during access reviews or investigations: a user has permissions that don't align with their current role, access was granted outside normal provisioning workflows, or entitlements exist without clear business justification. These anomalies raise red flags but require time-consuming investigations to resolve. 

By ingesting Jira ticket information through the Amazon Q Index, Saviynt ISPM can answer the critical question: "Why is this person's access not in the state we expected?" Security analysts can quickly see that an IT service request in Jira documented the change—perhaps a manager requested temporary elevated access for a project, a support ticket authorized access to troubleshoot an issue, or a developer needed permissions adjusted for a sprint assignment. 

This correlation capability transforms investigation workflows. Rather than reaching out to multiple teams, searching through email threads, or reconstructing events from memory, security teams have immediate context. They can validate whether access changes were legitimate, identify when temporary access hasn't been revoked as intended, and maintain comprehensive audit trails that connect access decisions to their business justification—all within the ISPM interface. 

Saviynt’s Timeline View lets you dig into the details of when and how access was granted. In this case, Jira. 

Why Visibility Matters for Identity Security 

Identity has become the primary attack surface in modern enterprises. Attackers increasingly exploit over-privileged accounts, orphaned access, and misconfigured permissions rather than attempting to breach network perimeters. The 2025 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report cited several types of attack that originated from compromised credentials underscoring the critical importance of comprehensive identity visibility. 

However, traditional identity governance approaches struggle to keep pace with the expanding application landscape. Point-to-point integrations are costly and time-consuming to build and maintain. Switching consoles to get all of the potential context is too inefficient. Shadow IT and unmanaged applications create blind spots where excessive permissions flourish undetected. Security teams lack the resources to achieve comprehensive coverage. 

The Saviynt-Amazon Q Index integration fundamentally changes this equation. Organizations gain comprehensive visibility into identity security across their application ecosystem through a single integration point. As businesses add new applications to their Amazon Q Index, Saviynt ISPM gains visibility into those systems and the rich context they have-ensuring identity security coverage scales with the organization's needs. 

The Future of Identity Visibility 

As AI agents and autonomous systems become more prevalent, the need for comprehensive identity visibility will only intensify. These systems require access to enterprise data and applications, multiplying the potential attack surface and raising the stakes for identity governance. 

By leveraging Amazon Q Index as a Data Accessor, Saviynt ISPM helps organizations build a foundation for comprehensive, scalable identity security. Security teams gain the visibility they need to identify risks, enforce policies, and maintain compliance across their expanding application landscape, enabling them to innovate confidently while managing identity risk effectively.
