Access Governance Platform

Regain control of your authorizations

One collaborative platform where security, product, and engineering teams define access policies and govern them end to end—in plain language everyone understands.

Policy Lifecycle

Author, control, publish — then improve

Big ACL structures your policy work into a clear, repeatable cycle. Security, product, and engineering teams collaborate at every stage — each iteration strengthens your access rules and reduces risk.

1

Author

Define rules in plain language, model your entity schema, and structure your domain vocabulary.

2

Control

Validate with auto-generated tests, detect conflicts, review with stakeholders.

3

Publish

Snapshot an immutable version, translate to Rego & Cedar, deploy to your environments.

Continuous improvement — each cycle refines your policies
Collaborative authoring
Business, security, and engineering teams write and review rules together in plain language. Everyone contributes, everyone understands — no translation layer needed.
Built-in quality gates
Every rule is validated against the entity schema, tested automatically, and checked for conflicts and gaps before publication. Problems surface early, not in production.
Iterative by design
Policies are never "done." Each cycle enriches existing rules, catches newly uncovered scenarios, and refines your access model. Big ACL supports this with dedicated modes for bootstrapping, enriching, and restructuring.
Schema from language
Describe your domain in plain language — Big ACL builds the entity schema for you. Users, roles, resources, and relationships are extracted and kept in sync as your rules evolve.

Policy Versioning

Git for your access policies

Structured versioning for access policies. Every change is tracked, every version is a self-contained artifact that can be compared, audited, and rolled back.

Immutable snapshots
Semantic versioning, each version is a self-contained verifiable artifact. Once created, a snapshot cannot be modified — only superseded.
Side-by-side diff
Field-by-field comparison between versions, just like Git. See exactly what changed in rules, schemas, and translations at a glance.

3 rules added, 1 modified, 0 removed

Deployment & Promotion

Promote with confidence, rollback in seconds

Big ACL gives you full control over the lifecycle of your policies — from impact analysis to multi-environment promotion and instant rollback.

Big ACL deployment matrix
Impact analysis
Before promoting to production, see exactly how many PERMIT would become DENY. Know the blast radius of every policy change before it takes effect.
Environments & promotion
Define deployment targets — Dev, Staging, Production — with a clear promotion order. Promote versions through environments with guardrails that prevent accidental production changes.

Decision Monitoring & Audit

See every decision, investigate any incident

Consolidated decision visibility across all your Policy Decision Points. One dashboard for every permit and deny, regardless of enforcement engine.

Unified decision log
Internal PDP, OPA, and AWS Verified Permissions decisions in one dashboard. No more jumping between consoles to understand what happened.
SIEM export
Forward decision data to Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, or your SIEM of choice. Enable SOC correlation between access decisions and security events.

Access Governance

From policies to continuous access governance

Go beyond policy authoring. Big ACL connects your rules to the people who use them — with access reviews, expected rights analysis, and compliance reporting built in.

Access Reviews & Recertification
Schedule periodic or event-driven review campaigns. Managers certify their team's access rights, revoke unnecessary permissions, and Big ACL generates audit-ready evidence for NIS2, ISO 27001, and SOC 2.
Expected Rights
Define what access each role should have, then compare it to reality. Big ACL highlights gaps and excess permissions so you can enforce least privilege continuously — not just at review time.
Role Management & Assignments
Model organizational roles, map them to entitlements, and assign them to users. Big ACL keeps role definitions in sync with your policies and flags drift as it happens.
Compliance Reports
Generate PDF reports that document your access posture — who has access to what, when it was last reviewed, and what changed. Ready for auditors, no spreadsheet assembly required.

The missing link in your IAM ecosystem

Big ACL acts as a Policy Administration Point in your architecture,
connecting IAM, IGA & ITSM to give you a single control plane
for Access Management.

Big ACL as Policy Administration Point in the IAM & IGA ecosystem.

IGA platforms provision identities.

Identity Providers centralize authentication.

Ticketing systems drive access requests and approvals.

Enterprise Architecture provides metadata and ownership.

SaaS & Cloud consume normalized access policies.

Policy Decision Points (OPA, AVP) enforce policies generated by Big ACL.

Why Big ACL?

Built for modern authorization challenges

Whether you're scaling a startup or managing enterprise complexity, Big ACL gives you the tools to handle authorization the right way.

Compliance-ready

Full deployment history with end-to-end rule traceability — from natural language to formalized policy, Rego translation, test execution, deployment, and decision logs. Immutable verifiable snapshots and SIEM export give auditors everything they need.

One source of truth for all teams

Product, engineering, and security teams work from the same policy repository. No more scattered rules across codebases, conflicting interpretations, or tribal knowledge about who can do what.

Decouple policy from application code

Stop embedding authorization logic in your codebase. Externalize policies to make your applications cleaner, easier to audit, and simpler to maintain. Change rules without redeploying code.

Ship features faster

Developers focus on building features, not reinventing authorization. Big ACL deploys rules directly to your Policy Decision Points (OPA, AWS Verified Permissions), letting product and security teams manage access independently.
