There is zero need for data collection regarding auditing on Windows. The program does not require native object auditing.
Modeling and Recommendations of Varonis DatAdvantage
By polling together information on who is privy to data, the audit trail of users or groups that have access to data, the modern bidirectional cluster analysis, DatAdvantage provides useful intelligence regarding the points where group memberships and excess file permissions can be safely deleted without disrupting business workflow.
Varonis DatAdvantage also stimulates permission changes and can model changes in the system to ensure they are tested without impeding the production environment.
Data Ownership Identification Feature of Varonis DatAdvantage
Since every file access event is audited, Varonis DatAdvantage performs analysis of user behavior to pinpoint business owners of data successfully. Companies can also upload a spreadsheet of data owners to assign users a robust number of folders.
Reports on data activity, access, and changes to the groups and folders, as well as stale data, can be sent automatically to data owners to foster a sense of involvement in the data governance process. If owners are replaced, access can be replaced or cloned to ensure that data ownership maintenance is maintained.
