Run a full IAM maturity assessment in 15 minutes
A research-backed platform for measuring IAM maturity across 9 domains. Get benchmarked scores, compliance mapping, financial risk analysis, and a board-ready PDF report, all grounded in published industry data.
Built on 15+ primary research sources across 11 publishers. See a sample report (PDF)
What the Assessment Delivers
A structured evaluation across 9 IAM domains: scored, benchmarked, and translated into financial terms your leadership team can act on.
Financial Risk Modeling
Identity risk exposure ranges, FTE cost models, insurance premium impact, and potential savings. In dollars, not adjectives.
Board-Ready Reports
Executive narrative, financial analysis, compliance heatmaps, and technical backlog. Downloadable as a branded PDF.
Dynamic Benchmarking
A statistical blend of published research and consented peer data by industry, region, and size — every benchmark ships with its uncertainty range and evidence label.
Compliance Mapping
Automated alignment across SOX, GDPR, HIPAA, NIST CSF, PCI DSS, and more. Filtered to your scope and industry.
Strategic Roadmap
Stabilize foundational controls, Unlock high-impact gains, Differentiate from peers. Prioritized by effort and impact.
37-Question Assessment
5-level maturity model with impact-weighted scoring, domino-control dependencies, and research-backed thresholds.
How It Works
From first answer to board-ready deliverable in three steps.
Configure
Select scope (Workforce, CIAM, or Full), industry, region, and organization size.
Assess
Answer 37 research-backed questions across 9 IAM domains. Keyboard shortcuts and auto-advance make it fast.
Deliver
Get instant scores, benchmarks, compliance mapping, financial risk analysis, and a branded PDF report ready for the boardroom.
Benchmarks That Get Smarter Over Time
AXIS blends published research with consented peer data using the same credibility-weighting statistics the actuarial industry has used for decades. Every consented assessment shifts the blend smoothly toward real-world data — no activation thresholds, no sudden jumps — and every benchmark is displayed with a credible interval and an honest label of the evidence behind it.
Published Research
The starting estimate, derived from IBM, SailPoint, and other primary sources — with its derivation uncertainty stated.
Global Industry
Consented peer assessments in your industry vertical worldwide sharpen the estimate.
Regional Industry
Peers in your industry and region narrow it further.
Closest Cohort
Same industry, region, and cohort — the most relevant evidence, weighted highest.
At zero peer data the benchmark IS the research estimate — labeled as exactly that, with a wide interval. As consented assessments accrue, peer evidence takes over smoothly (half the weight at 16 assessments). Small peer groups are never disclosed: cross-organization cells are withheld below five contributors.
Research-Backed. Transparent. Reproducible.
AXIS isn't another maturity checklist. Methodology 1.7 is a 350+ page, version-pinned instrument: provably monotone scoring, formal N/A rules, NIST SP 800-30-aligned risk quantification, and a published validation roadmap as real-world assessment data accrues.
Research Foundation
Why AXIS?
Built by IAM practitioners who've run hundreds of assessments. We built the tool we wished we had.
Built by Practitioners
Designed from real-world IAM consulting experience, not theory. Every question, weight, and threshold reflects what actually matters in the field.
Quantified Risk, Not Guesswork
Research-anchored financial modeling translates maturity gaps into dollar ranges so teams can prioritize remediation with clearer ROI.
Structured and Repeatable
Standardized scoring, deterministic outputs, and consistent methodology. Run the same assessment twice and get the same results, across teams, time, and assessors.
Know Where You Stand
Most organizations know they have IAM gaps, but not where, or how they compare. AXIS gives you a quantified, benchmarked answer in one session.
