Access recertification is an information technology control that includes reviewing user access rights to see if they are proper and comply with the company's internal rules and laws. Recertification is a part of an organization's governance risk and compliance activity. Recertification or attestation are different terms for the same thing. GRC (governance, risk, and compliance) is a collection of rules and procedures that enable firms to achieve their business goals, deal with uncertainty, and behave with integrity. Depending upon the size of the company, whether public or non-pubic and the industry they are in, such as banking or finance, etc., many companies are required by law to perform recertification or attestation of access.To maintain compliance, your users must have appropriate access to their roles. With the many systems and apps available, this is becoming more complicated and challenging, also known as attestation, is a process that helps organizations ensure that users have the appropriate level of access to the resources. At any point, the users should have only enough access needed to do their jobs, and the access complies with the company's policies and regulations. The process typically involves reviewing user access rights, such as permissions to access sensitive data or systems, and comparing them to the users' job responsibilities and roles within the organization. The final goal of the process is to find any discrepancies to investigate and address.

With the help of the Recertification features provided by EmpowerID, you can define and automate the process of collecting data for recertifying user access and presenting it to auditors regularly.

You can create recertification policies in EmpowerId that outline which users and what access rights will be reviewed. Once the policies are established, you can add these policies in multiple audits enabling you to granularly configure to collect different types of data in a single audit. EmpowerID uses a task-based approach for Recertification, which creates business requests for each access policy to be rectified based on the recertification policy. These requests are notified and presented to auditors, who can recertify access by providing a decision in a task window.
