# Rigavanna

*/Startups/Rigavanna*

## Startup Overview

This platform ingests unstructured cloud entitlement data and automatically maps it directly to organizational identity security policies. Security and identity teams use the system to translate scattered, complex cloud permissions into clear access rules, eliminating the blind spots created by sprawling multi-cloud deployments.

Legacy tools like SailPoint, CyberArk, and native IAM dashboards require teams to rely on manual attestations and point-in-time access reviews. Instead, this architecture deploys configuration-free and continuously verifies active entitlements against established security baselines. By removing the dependency on human-driven audits, the system keeps identity policies synchronized with the ground-truth reality of cloud access.

## Startup Founding Hypothesis

**Approach**: that maps unstructured cloud entitlement data to identity security policies
**Competitors**:
- [SailPoint](/Competitors/SailPoint)
- [CyberArk](/Competitors/CyberArk)
- [native IAM dashboards](/Competitors/native_IAM_dashboards)
**Differentiator2x2**: configuration-free and continuously verified, rather than relying on manual attestations

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Targeting a 90% reduction in manual attestation workloads for cloud-native security teams.
- Aiming to map out-of-policy unstructured cloud entitlements within 48 hours of read-only deployment.
- Designed to eliminate manual rule-writing by correlating existing cloud data directly to identity policies.
**Tiers**:
- Name: Core Mapping · Price: ~$1,000–$2,500/mo · Inclusions: Continuous verification for up to 2,500 cloud identities, unstructured entitlement parsing, and daily synchronization against baseline security policies.
- Name: Enterprise Verification · Price: ~$4,000–$8,000/mo · Inclusions: Real-time entitlement mapping for up to 15,000 cloud identities, custom policy enforcement tracking, and intended read-only API integrations with existing IAM platforms.
**Guarantee**: If the platform fails to surface a valid, undocumented cloud entitlement that bypasses your existing manual attestations within 14 days of read-only connection, your initial quarterly fee is fully refunded.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- Objection: We already use SailPoint for identity governance. Rebuttal: SailPoint relies heavily on manual attestations; Rigavanna is designed to sit alongside it to map the hidden, unstructured cloud entitlements that standard dashboards miss.
- Objection: We cannot grant write-access to a concept-stage security tool. Rebuttal: Rigavanna operates entirely via read-only APIs, extracting unstructured data to verify policies without the ability to modify your live cloud infrastructure.
- Objection: Unstructured entitlement data will generate too many false positives. Rebuttal: The platform correlates raw entitlement logs directly against your active identity policies, filtering out orphaned data to surface only usable, non-compliant access paths.

## Startup Buyer Chain

**Chain**: Rigavanna → IAM Director → Cloud Security Engineers
**Gtm Motion**: Acquires accounts through a read-only cloud entitlement audit that immediately flags toxic permissions in a single environment. Expands by replacing manual compliance attestation workflows with continuous verification across the organization's entire multi-cloud footprint.
**Agent Channel**: Targets listings in security automation registries (such as the intended plugin directory for Microsoft Copilot for Security or standard OpenAPI schemas for custom SOC agents) so autonomous systems can query live entitlement states without manual attestations.
**Primary Channel**: Cloud provider marketplaces (targeting intended listings on AWS Marketplace and Microsoft AppSource) where cloud security architects actively search for automated entitlement mapping and continuous verification tools.

## Startup Proof Points

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

**Pilot Goals**:
- 14-day read-only deployment for 2,500 cloud identities aiming to surface at least one valid undocumented cloud entitlement bypassing existing manual attestations.
- 30-day side-by-side deployment with existing identity governance tools to prove extraction of unstructured data invisible to the primary platform.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: 90% reduction in manual attestation hours for cloud-native security teams.
- Aim: 48-hour timeline to map out-of-policy unstructured cloud entitlements after read-only deployment.
- Target: 100% correlation of raw entitlement logs against active identity policies without manual rule-writing.
**Target Case Studies**:
- A mid-market cloud-native financial services firm moving from quarterly manual IAM attestations to continuous daily synchronization to surface hidden entitlements missed by primary governance tools.
- An enterprise healthcare provider scaling multi-cloud environments identifying unstructured out-of-policy cloud entitlements across 10,000 identities without requiring write-access.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- VP of Cloud Security expressing relief that the platform exposed hidden out-of-policy access paths missed by legacy IAM dashboards strictly via read-only APIs.
- Identity and Access Management Director validating that daily synchronization replaced manual spreadsheet attestations across their core cloud identities.
- DevSecOps Lead highlighting the absence of false positives because raw logs are accurately filtered to show only usable non-compliant access.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: Major cloud providers restrict or alter their telemetry APIs, breaking the automated ingestion of unstructured entitlement data. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: Incumbents like SailPoint or CyberArk bundle continuous automated verification into their enterprise suites, neutralizing the core configuration-free differentiator. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: high · Description: The continuous verification engine produces high volumes of false positives in complex multi-cloud environments, causing security teams to ignore the system. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: moderate · Description: The configuration-free mapping model fails to accurately categorize bespoke legacy application permissions, restricting the addressable market to purely cloud-native deployments. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
