JIT Access Evaluation Tools
Interactive tools for vendor evaluation, architecture decisions, and deployment planning. Results display immediately. Export PDF and JSON are available after subscribing to The Independent Defender.
Vendor Research
Vendor Comparison Tool
Filter 22 JIT platforms by cluster, deployment model, access type, JIT approach, and company size. Rich card grid with matched-filter tagging.
Architecture
Architecture Fit Assessment
Five questions about your environment map to one of four architecture paths: cloud-native JIT, PAM overlay, PAM replacement, or IdP-native. No export needed.
Cost
Approval Friction Calculator
Engineering team size, weekly access requests, and approval latency translate into engineering hours lost per year to JIT friction. Export PDF and JSON gated behind newsletter signup.
Operational Health
Policy Sprawl Index
Multi-cloud access policy distribution produces an Operational Overhead Index score. Sliders must sum to 100% of your access policy surface. Export PDF and JSON gated behind newsletter signup.
Deployment
JIT Velocity Calculator
Human access volume, NHI token volume, and latency tolerance produce a deployment blueprint: which architecture handles your scale, and at what cost. Export PDF and JSON gated behind newsletter signup.
