Identity Governance
A primary objective of any organization should be to provide access that aligns with its business policies on risk and follows the principles of Zero Trust. This type of access, known as “compliant access,” is position-appropriate and incorporates risk policies to determine if granting a specific level of access would result in unacceptable risks.
EmpowerID's risk engine enables organizations to:
Identify cases that may pose a risk
Make informed decisions about accepting or rejecting risks
Implement mitigating controls when necessary
Utilize preventive and detective SOD simulation and validation
Streamline remediation and revocation using dashboards and automated workflows
Access Intelligibility
Understanding the real-world impact of technical entitlements is crucial for managing enterprise risk. EmpowerID bridges the gap between the technical system and business processes by introducing an "Intelligibility Layer" that connects both worlds.
Key features of Access Intelligibility include:
Functions: Business-user recognizable terms for activities performed by users with granted access (e.g., "Create Purchase Order" and "Approve Purchase Order")
Function mapping tools: Define the relationship between application permissions or roles and Functions
Pre-built library of Function definitions for common systems
Risk policies: Use Functions as building blocks to identify access violations
