The Right Access for
the Right People
Identity Governance (IG)
Identity Governance (IG)
Identity governance is focused on validating the access rights that members of the workforce have. The guiding principle is to achieve “Least Privileged Access” where everyone at the organization only has the access they need to perform their job, and nothing more. Identity governance software tools (on-prem and in the cloud) are designed to streamline the process of reviewing access assigned to each identity in the workforce.
Cut Out Manual Processes:
Manual Identity Governance
Excel Based Reviews – Manually intensive and error-prone.
VS
Automated Identity Governance
Identity Governance Tool – Cuts out the manual processes, creates an audit trail and manages remediation.
Key Needs for Success for Identity Governance Tool Implementation:
- Technical Implementation – Here you will need experts to install, configure, and connect the software to your data sources. In typical implementations, the identity governance tool is connected to an HR feed (the primary source of identities) and it is connected to application feeds where access right data is collected.
- Program Roll-Out – Once the technical components of your projects are implemented you will be ready to review access rights. Here you will make decisions on access review frequency, length of review periods, and other policies like reassigning review items. Here many headaches can be saved by engaging an experienced team who have done it before.
