Overview
Cakewalk is a Berlin-based Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) platform that unifies access management for human employees and AI agents. It auto-provisions and deprovisions access by syncing with identity providers and HR systems, runs Slack-native self-service access requests and approvals, and generates audit-ready evidence for compliance reviews across 5,600+ supported applications.
The problem Cakewalk solves
IT and security teams at fast-growing companies struggle to keep application access, offboarding, and audit evidence under control as their SaaS and AI-agent footprint grows, especially without dedicated IAM engineering resources. Cakewalk addresses this with Slack-native self-service requests, automated provisioning/deprovisioning tied to the HR system of record, and audit-ready evidence — though it is scoped to access governance rather than full GRC/compliance-program management, and offers no self-hosted deployment option.
