The growth of an enterprise is multidirectional, as are the partners’ and employees’ numbers associated with it. The most pressing concern in such a scenario is the challenge of partners’ and employees’ access to the management of enterprise resources. To meet the numerous policies and regulations and maintain the privacy and integrity of enterprise information and identities, it’s inevitable to closely check the access rights and privileges granted to the users and partners. This calls for Access Certification – so that you have a clear picture of who has Access to what and at what time. Be it any application – SailPoint, ServiceNow, AD, Cerner, Epic, Kronos, McKesson, HR System, SAP, Okta, Cyberark, Avancer IAM offers Access Certification with great ease.
Before moving ahead, the key questions that you need to understand are:
- Who is privileged to access what, and when?
- Are those access privileges in line with regulatory policies and meet compliance?
- Who has approved those access privileges?
What does Access Certification bring to the table?
Documenting access control information is pivotal for any enterprise in ensuring agility and security, apart from compliance issues. An IAM solution ensures that the rightful entity has Access to resources for an effective operational flow within an enterprise and encourages business growth. Access Certification practices by the IAM system are carried out periodically to check that no people have the undue privilege to access resources beyond their roles. The validations are then checked by the IdM system on-board. IAM manages certification and revoking of accesses through Access Certification checks from time to time.
The crucial entities in an IAM system requiring Access certification involve:
- Accounts
- Roles
- Users
- Entitlements
How is Access Certification done?
Throughout the user lifecycle within an enterprise, identities are created, updated, enabled, disabled, and transferred. Along with that, those identities are privileged with access controls depending on their respective roles.
