Authorization maturity is more than roles, provisioning, and login

Access decisions now extend across applications, APIs, data, machines, and AI-agent workflows. The assessment gives leaders a shared way to examine the operating model behind those decisions.

  • Authorization now governs more than human users

    The assessment examines how your model represents and governs humans, machines, API consumers, and AI agents.

  • Context can change after sign-in

    It asks when decisions are evaluated, which signals they use, and whether access can adapt while a session is active.

  • Policy must reach every enforcement point

    It reviews how consistently authorization is applied across applications, APIs, data, MCP interactions, and agentic workflows.

Six views of enterprise authorization maturity

Five questions in each domain create a baseline that reaches from policy ownership to runtime enforcement and operational scale.

  • Authorization Governance

    Who owns authorization, and how is it audited, versioned, and tested across the enterprise?

  • Identity Controls

    Which identities — humans, machines, agents — does your authorization model govern, and how richly?

  • Authorization Policy Management

    How is policy authored, shared, and pushed across the application landscape?

  • Runtime Authorization

    When and how often is an access decision actually re-evaluated against current context?

  • Enforcement

    Where in the stack is policy actually enforced — and how granularly?

  • Operational Scalability

    Can the authorization fabric keep up — with new apps, new teams, and AI-scale workloads?

Map your journey from Legacy to Adaptive

Every domain is evaluated against the same five-level PlainID Modernization Matrix, so your baseline and next step use one consistent framework.

  1. L1Legacy
    Static, hard-coded

    Static authorization remains embedded in individual applications.

  2. L2Managed
    Centralized IAM

    IAM is centralized while authorization remains focused on login.

  3. L3Externalized
    Externalized PBAC

    Policy is externalized from application code and shared more consistently.

  4. L4Contextual
    Dynamic + contextual

    Decisions use current context at the transaction layer.

  5. L5Adaptive
    Adaptive + AI-ready

    Controls adapt continuously across humans, machines, and AI agents.
