What is Cakewalk

Access Management for your entire workforce. AI agents and human identities.

Your company has two classes of identity to govern: the people you hire and the AI agents they deploy. People collect access across dozens of apps, and enforcing least privilege through every joiner-mover-leaver (JML) event is still manual work. Agents connect to those same apps with broad credentials and no oversight. Cakewalk governs both in one platform.

🔥 The Problem

People. Access grows faster than anyone reviews it.

  • New hires wait days for the right apps while IT provisions by hand.

  • Role changes leave people with too much access or too little, often discovered only during audits.

  • Departing employees keep shadow access to apps holding sensitive data.

  • Compliance teams chase spreadsheets to prove who has access to what.

Agents. AI agents act on your company's systems every day.

  • Every Agent runs on broad credentials granted at setup, with no evaluation of individual actions.

  • Read, write and delete pass through on the same credential. Nothing pauses an Agent before the most destructive action it is permitted to take.

  • Employees wire their own Agents to their own apps, with no central catalog and no off switch.

🧁 What Cakewalk Does

Cakewalk governs access from one platform, with one directory of people.

  • Human Access automates the access lifecycle for your people: onboarding, provisioning, requests, access reviews and offboarding. Agent Cake, Cakewalk's AI provisioning agent, creates and removes accounts through admin APIs and automation, no SCIM required.

  • Agent Access governs what your company's AI agents do at runtime. Every action an agent takes routes through the MCP Gateway, Cakewalk's checkpoint between agents and apps, and is evaluated against your company's Policies before it executes. Agents never hold real credentials.

What you get:

  • Visibility: every identity, app and AI agent in one system of record, including the ones your identity provider can't see.

  • Governance: people get least-privilege access by role; Agents get zero standing access, evaluated on every action in real time.

  • Automation: Agent Cake runs provisioning, requests and offboarding without manual IT work.

  • Compliance: audit-ready evidence for ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIS2 and HIPAA.

  • Adoption: employees request access in Slack and connect Agents themselves, so governance is something your whole company uses.

💡 Why One Platform

  • The human is the boundary for the Agent. An Agent never gets more access than the person who delegated the task. Cakewalk knows both, so every agent decision evaluates against real employee attributes such as department, title and location.

  • No orphaned agents. When someone leaves, offboarding covers their agents and the app connections they set up, along with every app seat. See User Lifecycle.

  • Every action on the record. Access decisions and agent actions land in immutable audit trails, and every agent action traces back to the person who delegated it.
