Frequently asked questions
What certifications and compliance attestations does Saviynt hold?
Saviynt's security page states core certifications and attestations including SOC 1 and SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001:2022, ISO 27017:2015 and PCI-DSS, and says it is the only SaaS-based converged identity platform FedRAMP Moderate authorized for IGA and PAM. It also lists Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus. The same page describes multi-tenant isolation, data residency in 25+ regions and the ability to bring your own keys. No HIPAA or ISO 42001 claim is made.
How is Saviynt priced and what should we expect to pay annually?
Saviynt does not publish list pricing or seat tiers on its website; the published calls to action are demo requests, a free trial and a contact form, so pricing is quoted per deployment. The vendor does state it is providing AI and non-human identity posture management at zero cost during a free trial. Treat budget as an enterprise subscription plus services, and expect a scoping exercise before you can compare quotes.
How does Saviynt address AI agents and other non-human identities?
The vendor says Saviynt registers and manages AI agents including their access privileges and risk profile, finds and remediates shadow AI running across the enterprise, and evaluates intent and context for every request at runtime so agents stay inside their intended scope. It also markets Zuma as an enterprise AI security platform and offers posture management for AI and non-human identities. Saviynt does not publish which underlying models it uses or how customer data is used for model training.
Which systems does Saviynt integrate with?
The vendor's integrations page lists curated offerings for AWS, SAP, ServiceNow, CrowdStrike and Wiz, and the homepage points to a broader application catalogue for securing access to all applications. Buyers should confirm connectors for their specific HR, ERP and cloud systems during evaluation. The sources reviewed do not mention MCP or a Model Context Protocol server, so plan for custom integration against documented APIs if you need agent-tool connectivity.
What support and service levels are included?
The vendor pages reviewed do not publish support channels, business hours or response-time SLAs; they list contact and demo options rather than a support programme, and the security page only gives a vulnerability-reporting address. Treat support entitlements, escalation paths and uptime commitments as procurement items to negotiate and confirm in writing rather than assumptions from the public site.
