Access security should not require an enterprise-sized budget, a six-month implementation, or a dedicated identity team to run it.
Akku is an access security platform for mid-market organisations: the companies with compliance obligations they answer for, infrastructure worth protecting, and no spare capacity in the team that has to run it. It was built for the IT leader who has to pass a regulatory audit, secure privileged access to production servers, and get people onboarded without a system integrator, all at once.

Most organisations end up with a patchwork: one tool for SSO, another for MFA, a third for privileged access, something else for devices. Each has its own admin console, its own offboarding process, its own audit trail. When someone leaves you sign in to four systems. When an auditor asks who has access to what, you assemble it by hand.
Akku is one console. Identity, governance, endpoint management, mobile, data protection and privileged access are administered from the same place, behind one sign-in, and what each administrator sees is driven by what you have licensed. Turn a module on and it appears; you are not sent to a different product with a different login and a different idea of what a user is.
On the endpoint it is one agent. Endpoint management, data protection and privileged access arrive as a single binary on Windows, macOS and Linux, enrolled once. Adding the second or third of those needs no second rollout.
And privileged access appears to your administrators as an application behind that same sign-in, so the contextual conditions, the MFA and the access reviews you already run over applications run over your servers too.

Workforce Identity & Access Management (IAM)
One directory, single sign-on including credential replay for applications with no modern protocol, adaptive MFA, and access conditioned on IP, device, location and time.
Identity Governance & Administration (IGA)
Provisioning by role at joining, re-provisioning on a move, deprovisioning everywhere at exit, segregation of duties, and certification campaigns.
Unified Endpoint Management (UEM)
Patching in staged rings, 113 hardening policies, software allowlisting and execution control, and exploited-vulnerability tracking across Windows, Ubuntu and macOS.
Mobile Device Management (MDM)
Android and iOS enrolment, work profile isolation on BYOD, app whitelisting, and remote wipe scoped to who owns the device.
Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
Detection against your own indexed records across endpoints, removable media, email, chat, the browser and cloud storage.
Privileged Access Management (PAM)
Every privileged session proxied and recorded, with a credential generated per session and revoked at close.
Customer Identity & Access Management (CIAM)
Customer registration with social sign-in, and consent recorded per purpose with withdrawal in one action.
Whichever framework you are measured against, most of what it asks for technically is access control: who could reach your systems, whether that access was authorised and reviewed, what was done with it, and whether you can prove any of it later. Akku's controls are mapped at clause level to ISO 27001, SOC 2, the DPDP Act, RBI's Master Direction, SEBI's CSCRF and IRDAI's guidelines, so the same implementation answers whichever of them applies to you, and the mapping shows which control satisfies which clause and what evidence it produces. Akku is itself certified to ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II, which means the platform holding your access controls has been through the examination it helps you pass.

Enterprise identity products typically need a professional services engagement, a dedicated implementation team, and months before you are live. Akku was built for customers who have neither the months nor a specialist team waiting to take over once an integrator leaves.
Most Akku deployments are live within days. Over 500 pre-built connectors cover the SaaS estate without custom integration, and credential replay reaches the applications that never supported a modern protocol, which is what takes coverage from most of your estate to all of it. PAM follows the same model: a worker installs as a single binary or container inside each network segment and dials out over HTTPS on 443, so there is no inbound firewall rule to get approved and no infrastructure to stand up.

Enterprise privileged access and identity products are priced for organisations with dedicated security teams, six-figure identity budgets and the capacity to run a complex deployment. For a business of 200 to 2,000 people that puts them out of reach, or makes them cost more to operate than they return.
Akku carries privileged session management, credential vaulting, adaptive MFA, just-in-time access and audit trails built for an auditor, priced for the mid-market. It is not a cut-down edition of something bigger.
IAM, IGA and DLP are priced per user. UEM and MDM are priced per device. PAM and CIAM are priced separately. All of them are tiered, and you pay for what you switch on.
