# Turnoversocket

*/Startups/Turnoversocket*

## Startup Overview

This headless offboarding engine integrates directly with core HR systems to execute instant credential invalidation upon employee departure. Upon receiving a termination trigger, it automatically revokes access tokens across the corporate software stack and immediately reassigns orphaned data assets to designated managers or service accounts.

IT and security operations teams typically rely on manual checklists or cumbersome ticketing queues to offboard departing staff. This lag leaves systems exposed to former employees and strands valuable corporate documents in disabled user drives. This system eliminates the gap between an HR status change and IT execution, ensuring complete access termination the moment an employee leaves.

Instead of relying on ServiceNow manual tickets or complex graphical builders like Okta Workflows and BetterCloud, the architecture operates as a headless-by-design utility. Because it is identity-agnostic, it does not require a specific identity provider to function. It reads directly from the HR source of truth, executing offboarding logistics entirely in the background without human intervention.

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Aiming to eliminate 100% of orphaned SaaS subscription costs within 24 hours of employee departure.
- Targeting a 95% reduction in manual IT offboarding tickets for distributed mid-market companies.
- Designed to secure departed identities faster than manual ticket triage, aiming for sub-minute asset locking.
**Tiers**:
- Name: Standard Revocation · Price: ~$8–$15 per offboarded user · Inclusions: API access and HR-system webhook listeners intended for automatic core access token revocation and basic compliance logging.
- Name: Advanced Reassignment · Price: ~$18–$35 per offboarded user · Inclusions: Adds dynamic orphaned asset reassignment based on HR reporting structures and identity-agnostic sweeps for non-federated accounts.
- Name: Custom Enterprise · Price: ~$25,000–$50,000/yr flat platform fee · Inclusions: Unlimited offboarding events for large workforces, custom API connector builds, and dedicated implementation support.
**Guarantee**: Turnoversocket guarantees that upon receiving a valid HR termination webhook, targeted access revocation scripts execute within 60 seconds; if the system fails to trigger, the associated offboarding event is credited back at 5x its value.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- Objection: We already use Okta to turn off access. Rebuttal: Turnoversocket is designed to be identity-agnostic, catching the shadow IT and un-federated local accounts that standard SSO tools miss.
- Objection: Automated revocation might accidentally lock out active employees. Rebuttal: The system includes an optional delay queue and 'dry-run' approval layer for high-risk or executive accounts.
- Objection: How does it know who gets orphaned files or data? Rebuttal: It is built to dynamically read reporting structures from the intended HRIS connection to automatically route assets to the departed user's direct manager.

## Startup Proof Points

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

**Pilot Goals**:
- 30-day shadow IT parallel pilot: Running alongside standard SSO offboarding for a cohort of 50 departing employees to prove the system catches and revokes un-federated accounts missed by standard Okta workflows.
- 14-day asset reassignment trial: Scoped to connect the HRIS reporting structure and validate that 100% of orphaned files for departing users are correctly routed to their direct managers without IT ticket creation.
- 60-day enterprise API test: Measuring webhook listener latency to validate the sub-minute execution guarantee for core access token revocation under high-volume termination events.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: <60 seconds elapsed time from HR termination webhook receipt to executed access revocation scripts.
- Aim: 100% elimination of orphaned SaaS subscription costs within 24 hours of employee departure.
- Target: 95% decrease in manual IT service desk tickets generated for standard offboarding workflows.
- Aim: 100% automated routing of orphaned digital assets to the departed user's direct manager.
**Target Case Studies**:
- Mid-market distributed agency IT Director: Demonstrating the transition from a 3-day manual offboarding ticket backlog to automated, identity-agnostic asset locking within 60 seconds of HR termination.
- Enterprise retail CISO: Proving the elimination of post-departure data leaks by automatically sweeping and revoking access to un-federated shadow IT apps that existing SSO tools miss.
- High-turnover call center Operations Lead: Validating the automated reassignment of orphaned files and accounts directly to line managers based on HRIS reporting structures, requiring zero manual IT intervention.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- IT Service Desk Manager: Expressing relief that they no longer spend hours manually hunting down un-federated local accounts and reassigning cloud storage permissions.
- Chief Information Security Officer: Confirming confidence in the 60-second revocation guarantee and the system's ability to catch shadow IT tools their primary identity provider ignores.
- VP of Human Resources: Highlighting the seamless webhook connection between the HRIS and IT, ensuring immediate offboarding compliance.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: A bug in the automated revocation logic prematurely terminates access for active employees or transfers sensitive orphaned assets to unauthorized accounts. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: high · Description: Major HR platforms like Workday or BambooHR deprecate their open webhooks, breaking the core trigger mechanism for headless offboarding workflows. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: Enterprise IT teams refuse to deploy a completely headless offboarding solution due to internal compliance mandates requiring manual sign-offs. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: moderate · Description: Incumbents like Okta bundle identity-agnostic asset reassignment into their existing enterprise workflow tiers at no additional cost. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
