Data Access Management

The Challenge

One of the main risks enterprises face today is derived from insiders accessing information to which they are not entitled. Certain compliance regulations have been imposed to mitigate access concerns. Such concerns include privacy breaches, unlawful use of data and fraud.

Some of the more known rules are HIPAA for the health care industry and the Sarbanes Oxley act for US public companies. The challenge organizations face is how to comply with all the security and entitlement constraints while still providing the most effective flow of business information. Currently the common way of handling this challenge is by coding the data access rules into each individual application. This approach impose the following issues:

• Accuracy problems, risks of blocking legitimate users or enabling unauthorized access.
• Users have access to multiple systems. The entitlements are set for each system individually.
• Due to long turnaround time for changes, the required data, when finally available, may be outdated.
• Audit of security policies is expensive and inaccurate.
• Confirmation of work completed is missing. No feedback to the business unit that the policy was correctly implemented.
