User Access Reviews primarily serve auditing purposes, mandated by regulations like Sarbanes Oxley (SOX), JSOX and GDPR, which necessitate organizations to conduct them regularly, typically annually.
UAR & recertification provides automated tools to review and recertify user access rights, minimizing administrative overhead.
Ensures compliance with security policies and regulatory requirements.
Enables real-time monitoring of access changes and flexible recertification workflows to efficiently manage and reduce the risk of unauthorized activity.
Before delving deeper, let’s revisit the objectives of User Access Reviews: In a given year, requests for SAP access changes are simulated using an access control solution. Line managers and role owners are then tasked with reviewing and approving these requests, with approved requests being authorized in the system. The user access review serves the purpose of reviewing these granted authorizations at least once a year to ensure that previously granted access is still required by the business user. Xiting offers a streamlined approach, replacing manual processes with efficient solutions.
These reviews play a pivotal role in auditing, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. Key objectives include simulating access changes, verifying access validity, and minimizing authorization drift. However, there’s a need for a mindset shift from compliance-driven to proactive risk management.
Addressing technical considerations such as role design, methodology, ruleset customization, and tool usage can simplify User Access Review processes. Our solutions provide advantages like informed decision-making, configurable reviews, and user-friendly interfaces. Additionally, splitting reviews for role content enhances efficiency and accuracy in access governance.
