NHI ASSESSMENT
Discover, assess, and reduce hidden machine identity risk.
Modern businesses are powered by more than human users. Behind every cloud application, automation workflow, API integration, DevOps pipeline, and AI agent, there are machine identities working silently in the background. IDMEXPRESS helps companies find and deal with risks they might not know about,
NHI
Most organizations know how to manage employees and admins. But machine identities are created quickly, forgotten over time, and rarely reviewed — making them one of the most overlooked risks in enterprise security.

WHAT ARE NHIs
The identities your organization may not be watching.
Modern businesses are powered by more than human users. Behind every cloud application, automation workflow, API integration, DevOps pipeline, and AI agent, machine identities are working silently in the background. These are called Non-Human Identities (NHIs).
​
They are often created quickly, used across multiple systems, and forgotten over time. Many do not have a clear owner. Some use long-lived credentials. Some have more access than they need. Some remain active long after the project that created them is gone.
​
That makes Non-Human Identity risk one of the most overlooked areas of modern identity security.

Questions this assessment answers.
How many Non-Human Identities do we actually have?
01
Who owns our service accounts, API keys, and AI agents?
02
Which machine identities are over-permissioned?
03
Which credentials are long-lived, stale, or overdue for rotation?
04
Security, IAM, cloud, DevOps, and compliance teams across industries are asking the same questions. The NHI Assessment is built to answer every one of them — clearly and practically.
Which identities are inactive but still enabled?
05
Which AI agents or automation workflows have risky access?
06
Which identities create the highest business or compliance risk?
07
What should we fix first?

WHAT WE ASSESS
Seven key areas. One complete picture.
The NHI Assessment reviews the key areas that create machine identity risk.
NHI
Discovery
We help identify machine identities across cloud, automation, and AI-driven environments, including service accounts, API keys, access tokens, cloud IAM users, service principals, managed identities, automation bots, CI/CD identities, and AI agents.
Ownership and Accountability
We help identify identities that do not have a clear owner. This is important because an identity without an owner is difficult to review, rotate, approve, or decommission.
Credential
Hygiene
​We review credential risk indicators such as long-lived credentials, missing expiration, overdue rotation, stale secrets, and risky credential patterns.
Privilege and Access Risk
We help identify identities with excessive access, admin-level permissions, or permissions that may not align with least-privilege principles.
Stale and
Inactive Identities
We help find machine identities that appear inactive, outdated, or no longer tied to a current business process.
AI-Agent
Identity Risk
We assess emerging identity risks created by AI agents, automation workflows, and agentic systems that may access tools, files, APIs, cloud resources, or enterprise applications.
Compliance and
Governance Gaps
We make complex technical results easy to understand, focusing on important issues like who owns what, who has access to what they shouldn't, how to manage passwords and credentials, and what needs to be fixed first.
HOW IT WORKS
Five steps. One clear path forward.
Every NHI Assessment follows the same proven process — from discovery to a roadmap your team can act on immediately.
01
STEP ONE
Discover
1
We identify Non-Human Identities in scope across your selected cloud, automation, and AI environments. Many organizations discover identities they never knew existed.
02
STEP TWO
2
Assess
Each identity is reviewed against key risk areas — ownership, credential posture, usage activity, privilege level, access exposure, and governance gaps.
03
STEP THREE
3
Prioritize
Our results are sorted by risk severity — so your team knows which machine identities need immediate attention and which can be scheduled for later review.
04
STEP FOUR
Recommend
We provide practical, actionable guidance — ownership assignment, credential rotation, privilege reduction, stale identity cleanup, and governance control improvements.
4
05
STEP FIVE
5
Roadmap
We help your team understand what to tackle right away, what to prioritize next, and how to build a stronger long-term plan for governing Non-Human Identity risk.
GET STARTED
Find what exists.
Understand what is risky.
Fix what matters first.
Our experts will help you discover, assess, and prioritize Non-Human Identity risk across your cloud, automation, and AI environments — and give you a clear roadmap to act on.
Don't wait for shadow AI or a stale service account to become a security incident.
