Reva enhances operational control and audit accuracy by offering features like version history, audit trails, and structured frameworks for managing policies across environments. It complements AVP and Cedar by providing deep visibility into access permissions through tools like Access Explorer, which uses graph technology to visualize who has access to specific resources and which policies grant that access. Reva translates complex policies into business-friendly language, making it easier for non-technical users to understand and manage authorization policies. Additionally, it centralizes the management of various policy types such as application authorization, API authorization, and infrastructure-as-code (IaC) authorization into a unified platform, simplifying oversight and improving governance.

With pre-built integrations, an event-driven architecture, and a reference Policy Enforcement Point (PEP) SDK, Reva simplifies developer adoption of externalized authorization and ensures seamless data integration for decision-making. It supports structured data formats required by AVP and Cedar and provides capabilities like caching to optimize performance. By combining AI-powered insights with intuitive tools, Reva enables enterprises to enforce Zero Trust principles, achieve Zero Standing Privileges, and confidently manage their authorization landscape, making it an essential complement to Amazon Verified Permissions.
