Audit with Person Validity Recertification Policy

The review of user access rights to see if they are proper and correspond to the organization's internal rules and compliance standards is known as access recertification audit.

An audit can be considered as a project with a start date and end date. We might want to audit or certify multiple items using an audit. For example, in a Q1 audit you might want to certify, an external partner, identify as well as a member of certain high-risk management roles. These items are specified in one or more recertification policies. As a project might have multiple deliverables an audit can have multiple recertification policies associated with it. We can create recertification policies of different types in the EmpowerID system and these policies are reusable.

The person validity recertification is a method of determining whether or not the person is still required. Certain actions must be made if the persons are no longer required. In other words, a person validity recertification policy is to certify whether a person should exist or not.

Note: For the recertification to work in EmpowerID, certain prerequisites must exist.
