White Paper

Description:
Operating such a business while remaining compliant is a tall order. To succeed, a company must have an identity and access management (IAM) infrastructure in place to ensure that people have access to all the resources they need (but none of those they don’t), and to prove in audits that access is being managed correctly and in compliance with internal security policies and external regulations. This white paper will examine these often conflicting demands on the enterprise and show how access certification technology makes it possible to meet them.

Access certification technology is an invaluable tool for helping an enterprise manage its efforts to comply with the many regulations that govern businesses across a variety of industries today. Automating the certification process, increases certification accuracy and effectiveness, which in turn improves compliance and reduces risk. An Identity Compliance solution provides the organization with a clear understanding of their users’ identities and access rights to critical business information and services and establishes compliance controls for ensuring that access is correct and remains correct.

With an automated solution, compliance requirements can be met and proven with minimum cost to the organization. Additionally, cost savings can be extended across the enterprise by utilizing the information gathered in an compliance exercise to refine your identity and access management program. Access control compliance is an ideal first step towards strengthening the security of business services and information, and reducing risk by evolving your identity management practices.
