Use Cases
When Trusting Login Alone is Not Enough
Most identity systems stop protecting access the moment a user signs in.
AffirmedID is used in environments where who logged in is less important than who is still present.
Passkey Use Case
Auth Use Case
Pulse Use Case
High-Assurance Workforce Access
For organizations that require more than point-in-time authentication.
AffirmedID continuously affirms that the authenticated user remains engaged throughout the session, reducing risk from session hijacking, walk-away access, and insider misuse.
Common scenarios
- Regulated enterprise workforce
- Engineering and operations teams
- High-value internal applications
Privileged and Administrative Access
For sessions that should never be trusted once and forgotten. AffirmedID protects privileged access beyond the login event by maintaining assurance throughout the session lifecycle and enforcing policy when risk changes.
Common scenarios
- Administrative portals and cloud consoles
- Privileged IT and security roles
- PAM environments needing stronger session guarantees
Regulated and Compliance-Driven Environments
For organizations accountable for ongoing control, not checkbox MFA.
AffirmedID supports continuous authentication aligned with the intent of standards such as NIST, providing demonstrable session assurance and reducing reliance on compensating controls.
Common scenarios
- Financial services
- Healthcare
- Government and critical infrastructure
Zero Trust Beyond Authentication
For Zero Trust strategies that stall at login.
AffirmedID extends Zero Trust principles into the active session by continuously verifying user presence, context, and engagement, without replacing existing IAM or IdP investments.
Common scenarios
- Zero Trust architecture initiatives
- Cloud-first enterprises
- Hybrid identity environments
Protection of High-Risk Applications
For systems where misuse carries real consequences.
AffirmedID reduces the blast radius of stolen credentials and hijacked sessions by detecting loss of user presence or changes in risk during active use.
Common scenarios
- Financial platforms
- Intellectual property and R&D systems
- Legal, research, and sensitive SaaS applications
Simplifying Complex Identity Stacks
For identity programs burdened by fragmented controls.
AffirmedID closes gaps created by multi-vendor identity chains, working alongside existing IdPs and IAM platforms or operating independently when needed.
Common scenarios
- Over-engineered IAM environments
- MSP and MSSP deployments
- Security teams seeking higher assurance without more tools
Where AffirmedID Fits
AffirmedID can be deployed:.
- Alongside any OIDC or SAML provider
- Behind an existing IAM or IdP
- As an independent identity provider where required
