✅Excellent Security Features
- ●Scopes are granular permissions you can add to personal access tokens (PATs) to create tokens with the least privilege necessary to fulfill their functions... Scopes contain one or more rights, which are low level permissions that grant access to individual endpoints. This means that a single scope, like idn:access-request:manage, can grant access to multiple API endpoints.
- ●OAuth2 Bearer token (JWT) generated using client credentials flow. Client credentials refers to tokens that are not associated with a user in Identity Security
- ●sp:scopes:default: default scope, sp:scopes:all: access to all scopes... For read only operations, the 'Grant Write Resource' permission is not required.
- ●User levels act as the first line of defense by applying a rigid boundary around the APIs that a user can call... capabilities refer to their access to different systems, or authorization, within the tenant, like access to certifications (CERT_ADMIN) or reports (REPORT_ADMIN)
- ●Scopes allow an API user to have multiple tokens with different privileges that support unique use cases... if a bad actor compromises any one of the tokens, the bad actor can only perform the limited set of operations defined by the token's scopes, significantly reducing the potential damage
- ●Audit Search... Audit Configuration... most triggers/actions are often resulting in an auditable event that can be searched for
- ●Rate Limiting is documented as a section in the API documentation under Getting Started navigation
- ●Comprehensive OAuth 2.0 with multiple grant flows (client credentials, authorization code, PAT)
- ●Fine-grained scopes with least-privilege principle explicitly recommended
- ●Strong user level permissions with RBAC (CERT_ADMIN, REPORT_ADMIN, etc.)
⚠️Security Gaps & Recommendations
- ●No pii redaction
- ●No training opt out
- ●No data residency
- ●No gdpr compliance
- ●No ai attribution
- ●No soc2 certified
- ●No security program
- ●No PII auto-redaction documented for API responses
- ●No AI training opt-out option documented
- ●No AI attribution/tagging capability for API requests
AI Integration Security evaluates whether SailPoint is safe for AI agent access. This assessment considers authentication strength, access controls, observability capabilities, and data privacy protections when APIs are accessed by AI systems like Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or custom AI agents.
AI Readiness Assessment
Evaluates readiness for AI agent integration
Official or community MCP server support
API docs, SDKs, code examples
API reference, auth flows, error handling
MCP Server Available (With Warnings)
community⚠️ Only high-risk MCP servers found - not recommended
SailPoint has MCP server support, but with security concerns.
💡Recommendations
- →❌ Poor AI readiness - not recommended for AI workflows
AI Readiness measures whether SailPointprovides the infrastructure and developer resources necessary for secure AI agent integration. High readiness indicates official MCP server support, comprehensive API documentation, and developer-friendly tools.
