Cakewalk is an agentic access management platform for governing AI agent access. It provides policies, audit trails, and zero standing permissions for secure AI agent operations.
Cakewalk is an AI Security and Identity Governance & Administration (IGA) platform that unifies access management for human identities and AI agents under one system of record, with enterprise-tier pricing available via custom demo. It is built for fast-moving security, IT, finance, and engineering teams that need to govern SaaS sprawl and emerging agentic AI use cases without drowning in spreadsheets or manual JML tickets.
The platform consolidates access data across 6,000+ apps and AI agents regardless of authentication method, giving teams a single source of truth for who has access, when it was last used, and how it was granted. Cakewalk's centerpiece is Agent Cake, an in-product AI agent that auto-provisions and deprovisions seats, lets employees request access conversationally, and surfaces insights from clean data — eliminating the need for costly per-app integrations or enterprise-tier upgrades just to get SCIM. According to the vendor (not independently verified), customers using Cakewalk report up to 80% time reduction in IAM workload and up to 25% cut in SaaS spend by identifying redundant tools and licenses, while removing 100% of seats during offboarding to eliminate dormant accounts.
Beyond automation, Cakewalk ships a Policy Builder for approval workflows, Smart Tables and Custom Fields for org-specific reporting, role- and attribute-based access control (RBAC/ABAC), one-click access reviews, and automated audit evidence for ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIS 2, and HIPAA. The vendor is itself ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant, reports high customer satisfaction ratings, and was named to the Sifted AI 100 list of Europe's top rising AI startups. A dedicated AI agent governance module is announced as 'Coming soon' on the vendor's website. Compared to the other AI Security and IGA tools in our directory of 870+ AI tools, Cakewalk's differentiator is its native AI agent discovery layer — flagging new AI agents as they appear in the environment — paired with consumer-grade UX rather than the heavy enterprise IGA stacks (SailPoint, Saviynt) it targets for displacement.

An embedded AI agent that auto-provisions and deprovisions seats, even in apps that lack native SCIM or API support. Employees can request access conversationally, and Agent Cake enforces approval policies before granting permissions. This eliminates the need for costly per-app enterprise-tier upgrades just to enable provisioning.
Overcomes typical IdP blind spots by detecting access beyond SSO, including new AI agents adopted by employees. Real-time alerts surface unsanctioned tools and shadow AI usage, consolidating all 6,000+ supported apps into one system of record. This is a core differentiator versus legacy IGA tools that focus exclusively on human identities. Note: the full AI agent governance module is listed as 'Coming soon' as of the time of this listing and is not yet generally available.
Streamlines joiner-mover-leaver flows in full sync with your IdP and HRIS. Cakewalk claims 100% seat removal during offboarding, eliminating dormant accounts that legacy processes often leave behind. The vendor reports (not independently verified) customers achieving up to 80% reduction in IAM operational workload.
Lets admins build custom approval workflows tailored to their organizational structure, with Custom Fields adding metadata to every access record. Smart Tables turn this data into dynamic views and reports, replacing the spreadsheet-based tracking many IT teams still rely on. Both are configurable without engineering effort.
Generates access control evidence at the click of a button for ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIS 2, and HIPAA audits. Combined with access reviews from a single source of truth, this lets compliance teams demonstrate least privilege without scrambling before audit windows. Cakewalk itself is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant.
