Executives demand that reliable, auditable controls exist to safeguard access to sensitive enterprise
data and systems. Regulatory compliance and the need for sharing IT privileges with business partners
and customers drives this requirement. The high cost, complexity, and limitations of identity-related
compliance have forced executives to assume unacceptable levels of risk by limiting their compliance
audits to a subset of critical applications.
A key control is "Attestation", the process by which reviewers are periodically notified and presented
with a snapshot report of the controls that are in place. The reviewer can then "attest" to the accuracy
and appropriateness of the access assignments. The goal of a well-designed attestation process it to
provide a complete audit trail. Given the dynamic and changing nature of an organization's roles, rules
and policies and their impact across multiple enterprise systems, the absence of a centralized identity
and access management system makes attestation an extremely challenging process.
EmpowerID's Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and workflow platform establishes affordable and sustainable
continuous compliance. It is the only solution that can integrate auditing, attestation, reporting,
access enforcement, and separation of duties for all identities, roles, and resources within an organization.
Being an authoritative source for "who has access to what corporate resource and for what reason?"
allows EmpowerID to serve as the central repository and control for corporate attestation processes.
