Continuous monitoring,governed deviation response
DriftWatch automatically monitors access, infrastructure, and AI agent activity for deviations from what's approved. When something drifts, it surfaces exactly what action is required and routes it to a human for a governed decision: approve or reject, with that decision itself becoming part of the audit trail.
The Problem
Deviations get discovered at the worst possible time.
Infrastructure drifts silently from policy
A server config or cloud resource changes outside your change-control process, and nobody notices until the next audit, or the next incident.
Access drift is invisible across your real estate
Modern tools assume clean SaaS APIs. Your legacy apps, on-prem systems, and subsidiary tools have no SCIM connector, so unapproved access changes stay off the map.
Agents already have write access, with no checkpoint
Autonomous agents given file, repo, or infrastructure access can create, overwrite, or delete, with no gate in front of the sensitive calls.
Exceptions surface at month-end, not the same day
As work spreads across subsidiaries, contractors, temp staff, and automation, HQ finds out what changed in a monthly report, long after it mattered.
How DriftWatch Helps
Detect the deviation, route the decision
The same detect-and-route engine reaches access, infrastructure, and AI agent activity. Every decision becomes part of the audit trail.
Reconcile intended state vs actual access
Connect to directories, HRIS, ERPs, and applications with or without APIs, across HQ and every subsidiary. Compare authorized entitlements to real access and surface drift automatically, including unapproved permission changes.
- Hybrid / legacy / non-API connectors across subsidiaries
- Automated drift detection between intended and actual state
- Unapproved permission changes flagged automatically
Scheduled checks that open an approval, not just a log line
Cron-triggered checks scan your cloud droplets, servers, and backups on a schedule. When a resource changes outside expected state, it doesn't just get logged. It routes to the right owner for sign-off.
- Scheduled DriftWatch checks across cloud droplets & servers
- Automated backup-audit workflows with pass/fail routing
- Server discovery flags untracked resources for review
An agent's sensitive action is a deviation too
When an AI agent calls a sensitive tool, the call pends behind a human-in-the-loop approval gate, including third-party MCP servers you didn't build. The approver gets an email with a one-click approve or reject link; the agent's call only proceeds once a human signs off.
- Email approve/reject, no login required
- The agent's tool call only executes after approval
- Read-only tools pass through; ambiguity always pends
Licenses, permits, and certifications, watched per site
Licenses, certifications, permits, contracts, and qualifications in one register, per subsidiary. A permit crossing the 60-, 30-, or 7-day mark is itself a deviation: DriftWatch opens the renewal task and routes it before it becomes an action-needed item.
- Renewal tasks open automatically 60, 30, and 7 days before expiry
- One register across every subsidiary and site
- Time-bound (JIT) access elevation with automatic expiry
Common Workflows
Where DriftWatch catches the deviation
Infrastructure Drift Approval
Scheduled checks across cloud droplets and servers with routed sign-off.
Access & Leaver Detection
Finds system access still held by leavers and ended contractors, with an owner and deadline for each removal.
Coding & Infra Agent Guardrails
Gate destructive git, file, or cloud operations behind human approval.
JIT Elevation
Time-bound privileged access with approval, automatic expiry, and full audit trail.
Orphaned Asset Detection
Scheduled checks flag equipment with no current owner before it becomes an audit finding.
Third-Party MCP Server Gating
Wrap any external MCP server with approval gates, no code changes required.
