Three specialized modules. One shared identity context.
The only Identity Security Platform that unifies posture, detection, and compliance.
When posture, detection, and compliance live in separate tools, attackers move through the gaps undetected. 8Layers connects them through a single identity data layer, so your team always has the full picture.
The identity layer your stack was missing.
EDR watches endpoints. ESA watches email. SIEM correlates logs. SOAR orchestrates response. 8Layers covers the identity layer none of them were built for, closing the gap and completing 360° protection. Less identity noise in your alerts, less load on your SIEM, more context where it matters.
What makes 8Layers different.
Six capabilities that no other platform combines. Not theory. The architecture our customers buy us for.
Compound risk score per identity
Compound risk scores calculated across all IdPs for every identity in your environment. Risks that can't be fixed today can be formally accepted, with owner, justification, and review date. Full audit trail included.
Detection without time limits
Mimesys, the temporal analysis engine, has no detection time window. Posture findings, behavioral anomalies, and compliance gaps from months ago are correlated automatically with current activity to surface attacks no other tool can see.
One investigation workspace
When an alert fires, the full investigation is already open: visual timeline, every related entity, and a causality graph built automatically. Select any entity and pivot instantly to its full context.
Continuous compliance, not point-in-time
If a configuration drifts out of compliance, it's detected immediately, not at the next audit. One technical check satisfies requirements across ENS, NIS2, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and DORA simultaneously.
Identity-first, not endpoint-first
Built around the identity layer, not retrofitted from endpoint or network tools. Every signal — human, NHI, AI agent, API key — is treated as a first-class identity, scored and governed with the same depth.
Shared identity fabric across modules
All three modules read from the same continuously enriched identity inventory, maintained by Mimesys. No re-ingestion, no gaps between tools, no context lost.
One platform, three modules.
Posture, detection, and compliance built on the same identity data layer.
Built for security, governance, and operations leaders.
Every team that touches identity gets the same context, the same data, and the same view of risk.
Single Sign-On with your identity provider
Native SSO integration with Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra ID, and Okta. Your team logs in with the credentials they already use, no parallel identity store to manage.
Role-based access control
Granular permissions across the platform. Limit who can view findings, accept risks, execute remediations, and access compliance evidence.
Internal audit logs
Every action inside 8Layers is logged: who accepted which risk, who executed which remediation, who viewed which evidence. Full audit trail for internal governance.
Multi-tenant architecture
Native multi-tenancy for MSSPs and large enterprises managing multiple business units, subsidiaries, or customers from a single console.
OCSF data model
Built on the Open Cybersecurity Schema Framework for full interoperability with your SIEM, data lake, and analytics tools. Export, query, and integrate without translation layers.
Flexible data residency, including on-premises
Deploy in the region your jurisdiction requires, or run 8Layers entirely on your own infrastructure. Full sovereignty for regulated environments where data cannot leave your perimeter.
100% SaaS, agentless
No agents, no infrastructure to deploy, no maintenance windows. Connects via API to your IdPs, cloud providers, and security tools.
Enterprise-grade by default
The security, governance, and operational controls that enterprise teams need from day one. Not as paid add-ons or roadmap promises.
Frequently Asked Questions
8Layers is an EU-first identity security platform that combines Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM), Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) and automated compliance in a single unified platform. It is designed for European banking and enterprise with native support for ENS, NIS2 and ISO 27001.
ISPM (Identity Security Posture Management) focuses on proactively identifying and reducing identity risk — finding over-privileged accounts, misconfigurations and exposure across all IdPs before they are exploited. ITDR (Identity Threat Detection and Response) focuses on detecting and responding to active identity-based attacks in real time. 8Layers offers both in a single platform: Octagon for ISPM and Thor for ITDR.
Yes. 8Layers supports cloud, on-premises and private cloud deployment. On-premises deployment is critical for European banking and public administration environments with air-gap or data residency requirements.
8Layers natively supports Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace and AWS IAM. It also covers SAML, OIDC and OAuth federation trust chains across multiple IdP instances.
8Layers Compass provides native mapping for ENS (Esquema Nacional de Seguridad), NIS2 and ISO 27001. A single technical check maps automatically to all active frameworks simultaneously — no duplicate work required.
