A recertification policy contains actions to ensure that users submit an assurance that they have a genuine, continuous need for a particular resource or membership. As a project might have multiple deliverables, a recertification audit can have multiple recertification policies associated with it. We can create recertification policies of different types in the EmpowerID system, which are reusable. For example, we want to certify external partners and members of certain high-risk management roles in an audit. These items are specified in one or more recertification policies and later added to the same audit.

Recertification Policies are snapshots of data that reveal the access to resources granted to people and to roles, the assignments of people to roles, and the security assignments that have been made against protected resources. These snapshots are routed for review to authorized personnel such as managers, role owners, or data owners. The review process allows the reviewer to verify the access and certify whether it is valid. Internal processes can use this data to remediate and rectify exceptions or certify the exceptions as permitted.

Please follow the instructions below to create a recertification policy
