EmpowerID is a powerful tool that helps users identify and manage enterprise risks by simplifying complex technical entitlements and mapping them to easily understandable business functions. This enables organizations to have better visibility and control over user access and risk management.

Mapping Technical Entitlements to Business Functions

Technical entitlements are the permissions and roles assigned to users within various systems. These entitlements can be difficult to understand due to their technical nature, making it challenging for organizations to manage risks effectively. EmpowerID bridges this gap by mapping technical entitlements to more comprehensible business functions. Business functions are activities performed by users with granted access, such as creating or approving purchase orders. By simplifying technical entitlements and linking them to business functions, EmpowerID offers several advantages:

  • Improved risk identification: Users can easily spot potential risks as they can understand the real-world impact of granting specific access levels.

  • Better decision-making: A clearer understanding of access levels allows users to make informed decisions about whether to grant or revoke access based on potential risks.

  • Streamlined processes: Mapping technical entitlements to business functions simplifies the process of managing user access and risk policies.
