# Prilum

*/Startups/Prilum*

## Startup Overview

IT and security teams face a growing attack surface from dormant SaaS accounts and orphaned OAuth integrations. Instead of waiting for manual access reviews, this system continuously monitors application usage and immediately revokes idle access tokens across the corporate stack. By actively shutting down unused connections, it eliminates the lingering exposure created by role changes and abandoned shadow IT.

Legacy governance tools like BetterCloud and SailPoint rely on heavy provisioning workflows that generate endless IT support tickets for remediation. This architecture operates entirely agentless, integrating directly into identity providers and SaaS APIs without requiring endpoint installations. It functions as a self-healing access layer, automatically stripping unnecessary privileges and closing idle sessions rather than dumping manual tasks onto the helpdesk queue.

## Startup Founding Hypothesis

**Approach**: that audits and revokes idle SaaS access tokens
**Competitors**:
- [BetterCloud](/Competitors/BetterCloud)
- [SailPoint](/Competitors/SailPoint)
- [Manual access reviews](/Competitors/Manual_access_reviews)
**Differentiator2x2**: self-healing rather than ticket-generating and deployed without endpoint agents

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Targeting a zero-ticket access review process for mid-market software companies.
- Aiming to automatically revoke 100% of dormant vendor credentials after 30 days of inactivity.
- Designed to reduce identity attack surface area without installing any endpoint software.
**Tiers**:
- Name: Visibility Base · Price: ~$4,000–$8,000/yr · Inclusions: Agentless cloud integration with a primary identity provider, monitoring up to 500 employee identities for idle OAuth tokens and dormant SaaS accounts.
- Name: Self-Healing Posture · Price: ~$15,000–$30,000/yr · Inclusions: Unlimited SaaS app integrations, auto-revocation workflows for idle tokens without IT ticket generation, and monitoring for up to 2,500 identities.
- Name: Enterprise Governance · Price: ~$45,000–$80,000/yr · Inclusions: Custom API connectors, compliance audit log exports, multi-tenant directory support, and continuous access review for up to 10,000 identities.
**Guarantee**: Prilum guarantees to map all third-party access tokens connected to your core cloud identity provider within 48 hours of initial deployment, or the first month of service is fully refunded.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- What if auto-revocation breaks a critical background service? Prilum is designed to use customizable activity thresholds and a 'warn-and-wait' notification period before actively severing any token.
- How does it track usage without endpoint agents? Prilum is intended to plug directly into the APIs of your identity provider and core SaaS platforms to analyze cloud-side authentication logs.
- Will this just create a backlog of access requests? No, the platform is structured to be self-healing—revoking idle access quietly rather than generating review tickets for the IT helpdesk.

## Startup Brand

**Voice**: Clinical and direct, defined by absolute technical precision.
**Tagline**: Auto-revoke idle SaaS access tokens without generating helpdesk tickets.
**Icon Concept**: keycard
**Palette Intent**: electric-signal
**Visual Identity**: High-contrast dark mode layouts accented with stark neon green and harsh geometric typography reflect the binary precision of severing digital access paths.
**Archetype Reference**: the-ruler

## Startup Buyer Chain

**Chain**: B2B → IT Security Administrator → Enterprise Workforce
**Gtm Motion**: Acquires customers through a self-serve, read-only token audit that instantly flags over-privileged and idle SaaS accounts via native API connections. Expands by unlocking write-access for automated, self-healing access revocation and upselling premium connector packs for specialized environments like GitHub and AWS.
**Agent Channel**: Intends to publish its API schemas to the LangChain integration catalog and OpenAI tool registries as an identity lifecycle capability, allowing autonomous compliance agents to query idle token status and trigger revocations.
**Primary Channel**: Organic discovery within Microsoft AppSource and the Google Workspace Marketplace when IT administrators search for 'OAuth token audit' or 'SaaS access review' extensions.

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- A 14-day pilot scoped to 500 employee identities aimed at proving the platform maps all connected third-party access tokens within the first 48 hours of agentless integration.
- A 30-day proof-of-concept deploying the 'warn-and-wait' workflow to demonstrate the silent auto-revocation of dormant SaaS credentials without generating a single IT support ticket.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: 100% auto-revocation of dormant vendor credentials after 30 days of inactivity.
- Aim: 48-hour maximum completion time to map all third-party access tokens connected to the core cloud identity provider.
- Target: 0 IT helpdesk tickets generated for routine access revocation workflows.
- Aim: 100% visibility into idle OAuth tokens utilizing zero endpoint software installations.
**Target Case Studies**:
- A mid-market software company IT Director deploying the platform to transform a manual quarterly audit into a zero-ticket continuous access review process that silently revokes idle OAuth tokens.
- An enterprise fintech compliance officer utilizing the system to monitor up to 10,000 employee identities, ensuring all dormant third-party SaaS connections are mapped and audit-ready without deploying endpoint agents.
- A high-growth healthcare technology CISO implementing the self-healing workflow to automatically sever inactive vendor credentials after 30 days, reducing the identity attack surface while maintaining uninterrupted background services.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- IT Support Manager: Relief at eliminating manual access review backlogs due to the self-healing auto-revocation workflows resolving idle credentials quietly.
- Chief Information Security Officer: Confidence in the immediate reduction of third-party identity attack surface area achieved entirely through cloud-side API log analysis.
- Director of Compliance: Validation that the 'warn-and-wait' notification period successfully terminates idle tokens without accidentally breaking critical background services.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: Major SaaS platforms restrict or deprecate the third-party API access required for agentless token monitoring and revocation. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: False positives in the self-healing engine revoke critical active service tokens, causing customer business outages and immediate churn. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: high · Description: Enterprise security teams refuse to grant the broad read and write API permissions necessary for autonomous token revocation. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: moderate · Description: Incumbents like SailPoint or BetterCloud bundle automated token revocation into their existing identity governance platforms. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
