Agent controls that scale with the estate, not your headcount
IT already runs the devices, identities and SaaS estate that agents live on, so the work of counting them, issuing their access and retiring them tends to land with you. Geordie deploys through the device management you already run, finds every agent across endpoint, cloud, code and browser, and applies controls through the agent itself, with no gateway to maintain and no agent rebuilds.

Agents arrive faster than any asset process you run was built to handle
IT tends to inherit agents because it already owns the endpoints, licenses and identities they run on. The trouble is volume and churn: agents can outnumber human users quickly, many run on whatever account their builder was signed in as, and the tooling built for joiners and leavers was never sized for software that is switched on once and forgotten. One IT services firm estimated that of roughly 800 agents on its Microsoft estate alone, around 90% had been switched on once and never touched again.
Can we count every agent, not only the licensed ones?
A pipeline registry sees the agents that shipped through it and misses everything a business team assembled in a SaaS tool or an employee adopted on their own account.
Whose identity is each agent running under?
Agents often run on a person's own login or a shared team account, inheriting everything their builder could reach, which makes scoping and retirement far harder later.
Will it scale without breaking the fleet?
Proxy-based controls add brittleness at enterprise volume, and anything heavy on developer machines gets switched off by the people it was meant to protect.
Who switches off the agents nobody uses?
The most common retirement process is asking the builder to delete their agent, which stops working the day that person leaves.
You already run the devices, identities and lifecycle that agents depend on
In the organizations we speak to, IT and end-user computing usually run discovery because they manage the devices and SaaS estate it reads from, and identity teams issue the credentials agents run on. What tends to be missing is a named owner for the list itself and a process that retires agents on a schedule rather than on goodwill.
IT owns
Settled- Discovery collection Running the tooling on the devices and SaaS estate IT already manages.
- Identity and credential issuance Issuing, rotating and vaulting a non-human identity for every agent.
- Recertification and retirement Joiner-mover-leaver for agents, triggered from the inventory.
IT shares
Often contested- Entitlement scoping Provisioning access to the least-privilege standard security sets.
- Endpoint instrumentation Agent telemetry on laptops, alongside the platform team on cloud and gateways.
- The inventory as a living list With agent operations where it exists, or IT asset management where it does not.
IT depends on
Usually owned elsewhere- The identity standard Security defines what a sound agent identity looks like.
- Owners for every agent The business confirms what an agent is for before it is retired.
- Detection and response Security picks up what IT's telemetry surfaces.

Complete inventory
One inventory across every surface agents run on
Geordie gathers data where agents operate, from a lightweight sensor on Mac, Windows and Linux to APIs and telemetry across AWS, Azure, GCP and SaaS platforms, direct repository scanning and a browser extension. No agent has to register itself, so the agents built outside sanctioned tooling show up beside the licensed ones.
Wood Partners brought agents from multiple platforms into a single inventory it estimates is 98% accurate.
Fast deployment
Deploys through the MDM you already run
The endpoint sensor goes out through Jamf, Intune or Kandji at user-level permissions, in about ten minutes, and stays light enough for developer machines under load. Cloud and code connect through the accounts and repositories you already administer, with no reconfiguration of existing infrastructure.
About 30,000 endpoints run Geordie at a global delivery platform, which chose it after a hands-on bake-off against three other vendors.
Identity and lifecycle
Know whose identity each agent acts under, and when it was last seen
Geordie ties every agent to the identity it runs under and the owner behind it, so an agent working on someone's personal login or a shared team account stands out before it inherits more access than its job needs. Last-seen activity on every agent gives retirement something to run from, rather than relying on builders to remember.
Remediation, powered by Beam
Controls that run with the agents, at scale
Beam applies policy through the agent's own configuration and context, with no gateway in the execution path for IT to run and no single point of failure. Policy is scoped by team, role and use case through identity, so one platform can carry different controls in engineering and marketing without separate deployments.
Wood Partners enforces Beam policies against the risks Geordie classifies as critical, with no blockers reported to employees' work.
Built on the tooling IT already operates
Geordie connects to what you already manage rather than asking you to stand up and maintain something new.
- MDM Jamf, Intune and Kandji deploy the sensor at user-level permissions.
- Identity providers Policy scoped by team and role through the identities you already manage.
- Cloud accounts AWS, Azure and GCP through APIs and telemetry, including custom harnesses.
- Code repositories GitHub and Azure DevOps scanned in place, so source never leaves them.

“Geordie's endpoint-based approach stood out because it gave us visibility close to where agent activity happens, without forcing us into a more complex gateway-based model.”
“Geordie's approach is very simple to connect. You can see exactly what's being connected. There's less of a dependency chain.”
“The visibility and control Geordie created made me much more comfortable supporting broader adoption across the business.”
