Access Certification
Automate Access Certification Reviews
Configure your periodic access certification campaigns with a set schedule, easy to understand review data and never miss a review again.
Overview
The Access Certification Challenge
What started as occasional, even optional, user and role reviews, has now morphed into the need for consistent controls around user and role access, looking more frequently and deeper into the ‘who’ and ‘what’ around access to business applications data. Managing and reducing access risk is crucial to maintaining compliance and keeping your organisation secure. Managing hundreds of access certifications is a long, manual process that is both prone to errors and non-efficient, and in many cases just ignored due to not understanding the data one is being asked to review.
Ultimately, the access control needs to answer three key questions:
- Who has access (users/employees/contractors)
- What do they have access to (functions/transactions/views)
- How is access granted (roles/entitlements/privileges)
Answering these questions is time-consuming, often using Excel with multiple requests for IT to generate access list and then requiring multiple stakeholders to gather the relevant information, review access, and submit requests to remove unnecessary access. Moreover, reports don’t provide clear information on the ‘how’ and what users’ access means. The Data Owners, as reviewers become frustrated with this long, manual process, which is also is prone to errors and inefficient in today’s complex IT ecosystem.
