We’ve Implemented Okta—Now What?

How to Unlock Real Business Value with Styra

You’ve successfully rolled out Okta (or another identity solution) to verify who your users are. Now comes the next critical question: What can they do once they’re inside your systems? That’s where authorization steps up—and that’s where the Styra platform delivers real business impact. In today’s fast-paced market, forward-thinking global organizations are moving beyond just authentication to a modern, scalable approach to authorization. Let’s explore how Styra drives tangible ROI and helps your enterprise grow with confidence.

1. Slash Compliance and Audit Costs by up to 60%

Compliance isn’t just about checking boxes; it’s about protecting your bottom line. Non-compliance can lead to hefty fines—ranging from $100,000 to millions of dollars—not to mention damaging your reputation. By centralizing policy definitions and automating enforcement, Styra’s policy-as-code approach saves you significant time and resources on audits. When all your policies are stored in one place and automatically updated, you can reduce manual compliance efforts by up to 60%, translating to direct savings in labor and penalty avoidance.

2. Accelerate Development Cycles for Faster Time-to-Revenue

Every business leader knows: time is money. A siloed or ad hoc approach to authorization slows developers down with repetitive, error-prone tasks and extended QA cycles. Styra integrates seamlessly with CI/CD pipelines, performing policy checks before code hits production. This streamlined workflow can shave weeks off your go-to-market timeline. Picture launching a new product or feature even a month earlier—if that new product brings in $500,000 in monthly revenue, you’re talking about an additional $500,000 in top-line gains from early releases alone.

3. Fortify Security to Prevent Multi-Million-Dollar Breaches

A data breach can cost an average of $4 million per incident, not including potential legal fees or lost sales from a damaged reputation. By harnessing the Open Policy Agent (OPA)—the powerful open-source engine behind Styra—you ensure fine-grained control over who can do what in your systems. This unified approach to authorization helps you eliminate gaps that attackers might exploit. Securing your environment proactively can save your enterprise millions in breach-related losses and protect your brand integrity.

4. Unify Multi-Cloud Authorization for Seamless Expansion

Global growth often means operating in multiple clouds, each with different services and regulations. Managing authorization manually across AWS, Azure, and on-prem environments leads to confusion, inconsistencies, and wasted overhead. Styra’s platform-agnostic approach acts as a single source of truth for policy enforcement across any environment. Consolidating policy management into one place can free up hundreds of developer hours, which, at an industry-average fully loaded rate, translates to $100,000+ in savings annually—money you can reallocate to innovation and market expansion.

5. Demonstrate Quick Wins for Stakeholders

Styra’s visibility and analytics enable you to show immediate, measurable improvements in security posture and operational efficiency. Having real-time insight into policy decisions—along with automated reporting—makes it easier to communicate ROI to executives, board members, and auditors. When you can quantify both cost savings and revenue gains, it’s far simpler to secure buy-in for future initiatives.

If you’ve already invested in identity solutions like Okta and you’re wondering, “Now what?” the answer is Styra. By advancing from authentication to authorization, you take control of who can do what across your entire organization—while simultaneously boosting your bottom line. From cutting audit costs to speeding up development and preventing costly breaches, Styra’s comprehensive approach to authorization positions your organization for growth in an ever-evolving digital landscape.
