Where does a governance layer fit?

A governance layer runs alongside your identity provider, never instead of it.

Microsoft keeps employee sign-in, agent identities and owner or sponsor records. A governance layer adds per-action policy, human approval for high-risk actions and an audit trail tied to the person behind each action.
