Identity resilience starts with a trustworthy backup
What is IAM Backup?
IAM Backup automatically records every change in your identity tenant, such as Okta or Microsoft Entra ID, and saves secure, unchangeable copies of key elements, including users, groups, access assignments, policies, MFA settings, admin roles, and app integrations.
If a configuration error, system outage, or security incident occurs, you can quickly and precisely restore what you need: a single object, a set of related objects, or the entire tenant.

Why IAM Backup?
Identity is a single point of failure.
You own your configuration; protect it and be ready to recover it.
Regulation and audits expect proof.
Change happens fast, and automation and updates can misconfigure policies in seconds.
CORE CAPABILITIES
Misconfiguration rollback
Rapid recovery from an outage or attack
Guardrails for change
Compliance and audit readiness
Gartner names IAM Backup as a distinct category, a clear signal that identity resilience is no longer optional
Is it right for your organization?
IAM Backup is ideal for organizations using Okta or Microsoft Entra ID, where even brief interruptions can impact business. It supports your SLA and audit requirements with reliable restore testing and complete change tracking.
IAM Backup is perfect for teams that frequently update their IAM setup, need safe rollbacks, require isolated test environments, or want a ready-to-activate standby tenant.
FAQ
While traditional backups secure your servers and files, IAM Backup goes further, protecting your identity objects, access relationships, and policies. This means you can quickly restore your least-privilege settings and governance controls, not just your data.
Users, groups, group rules, app assignments, policies (sign‑on, MFA, lifecycle), admin roles, custom attributes, MFA factors, routing rules, and more – plus the relationships between them.
The recommended approach is to use isolated, unchangeable storage that has its own separate identity controls. Many organizations implement the 3‑2‑1 rule—plus an immutable copy—and routinely test their ability to restore data.
Most identity vendors prioritize keeping services available. While certain features like Access Gateway support or workflow exports are offered for specific needs, full tenant rollback to a previous state at any point in time is not a standard feature. This gap has led to the development of specialized IAM backup solutions.
Your RTO/RPO targets drive design. With hot-standby tenants and object-level restore, you can reduce recovery times from days to just minutes.
Backups are just the start. To ensure true resilience, you need proven runbooks, clear ownership, and detailed evidence of restore capabilities and change history. IAM Backup delivers these essential elements.
Modern identity is dynamic and continually evolving. With dependable backups and well-practiced recovery processes, you can handle incidents confidently and minimize risk.
