Effective and compliant risk management is crucial for organizations to ensure that their access policies align with business policies and mitigate potential risks. Compliant access involves integrating risk policies to assess whether a particular level of access poses unacceptable risks. EmpowerID's risk engine enables both preventive and detective simulations and validations of segregation of duties (SOD). It provides users with various features to automate the remediation and revocation of risks, thereby enforcing the separation of duties.
EmpowerID takes a comprehensive approach to managing compliance risks, encompassing prevention, detection, mitigation, and reporting of potential issues. When users request access to resources, they receive essential functional and risk information for evaluating potential risks. The system issues warnings for possible violations during the request process, making users aware of any Segregation of Duties (SOD) violations. Users can acknowledge the risk, provide justification, and make requests, ensuring awareness of such violations. EmpowerID now initiates a task for risk owners or admins to approve or reject such violations, streamlining the process. Risk owners can easily review and respond to tasks related to violation approvals, either rejecting or approving/mitigating them within specified timeframes. They select the mitigation controls configured in the system. The platform maintains a detailed history of all violations and their resolutions, creating a comprehensive audit trail. Users can generate and export reports for valuable insights and receive email notifications for important updates. The Risk Microservice Dashboard consolidates critical information for effective monitoring, management, and reporting of compliance risks.
