Detailed Review
CyberDesk is a Munich company, CyberDesk GmbH, founded in 2022 by Dr. Tobias Lieberum and Prabhakar Mishra, that sells identity-centric data security. It sits next to an identity provider instead of replacing one. The platform builds an inventory of human and non-human identities (service accounts, tokens, secrets, third parties, AI agents) and an inventory of sensitive data, then maps who can reach which data through which groups, roles and permissions, down to individual resources.
On top of that map, the vendor lists access reviews at data-privilege level, lifecycle management with simulated provisioning, and risk monitoring that traces what a compromised identity could touch. The integrations page names Entra ID, Okta, Active Directory, SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Workspace, Slack, Jira, ServiceNow, Personio and many AWS, Azure and Google Cloud services. According to the vendor, the connectors are agentless and work out-of-band, so no change to application code is needed.
It is last on this page because it solves a different problem from the single sign-on and customer identity tools above. It does not log users in. It also publishes no prices and no trial, offers a demo and a free security assessment instead, and shows a 'TÜV Certified Security' claim without naming the scheme. Read it as a governance layer for companies that already run an identity provider and need to see over-provisioned access.
What CyberDesk does well
- Shows access down to file and resource level, not only group membership
- Covers non-human identities such as tokens, secrets and service accounts
- Agentless connectors for Entra ID, Okta, SharePoint, AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, per the vendor
- Access reviews and lifecycle simulation tied to data context
- German GmbH with a Handelsregister entry and VAT ID in the imprint
Where CyberDesk falls short
- Not a login or SSO product, so it does not replace an identity provider
- No published prices and no self-service trial
- 'TÜV Certified Security' is claimed without a named scheme or certificate
- Founded in 2022, with one customer case study on its site
Standout feature. It is the only entry here that measures who can actually reach which data, rather than how users sign in.
