Time and again companies are caught off-guard by inappropriate access rights, often resulting in financial penalties, legal problems or data theft.

Despite this, internal data security is rarely given the importance it deserves. Large companies often lose track of the internal permissions structure – leaving highly sensitive data susceptible to unwarranted internal access. Traditional approaches are no longer sufficient to manage users and their access rights. Only if you know who has access to which data, across your organisation, can you defend your sensitive information against unauthorised access and shield your business from malicious threats and information security risk.

A closer inspection of authorisation structures often reveals over privileged users and other discrepancies which can lead to serious insider fraud. Proactive security measures are therefore needed to limit access strictly on a need to know basis. This not only nurtures accountability and awareness, but also contributes to significant cost and time savings.

Everslea’s Data Access control review provides any size of organisation with a single pane view of who has access to what data, across the organisation and for all users, to enable data owners to make informed decisions as to who ‘should’ have access to what information.

The review can be provided ‘As A Service’ to regularly audit data access controls or as a solution to enable on going data governance controls
