Oxford Computer Group can help you design, build, and deploy a comprehensive, enterprise-wide identity governance solution so that your organization can effectively balance identity risk.
In today’s hyper-connected world, the threat surface is expansive. Each access point is a possible point of exposure. To counter these threats, OCG implements solutions that control access to applications and data with automated identity governance.
We’ve helped our customers streamline their compliance processes after struggling though labor-intensive audits. And, if an auditor finds a deficiency in your security processes, we can help you implement solutions to remediate the issue.
For our customers in highly regulated industries, like finance and healthcare, we help architect and implement solutions that meet compliance requirements while ensuring security and user productivity.
First, we conduct an identity governance assessment, encompassing your whole enterprise or focused on specific applications. We’ll get a current view of the effectiveness and security of your identity environment, and create a strategic start and prioritized roadmap forward.
What Can an Identity Governance Solution Provide?
- Strengthened security by reducing access abuse
- Improved business decision making using a risk-based, threat-aware, intelligence-driven identity analytics
- Reduced audit costs and streamlined audit processes
- Improved productivity and collaboration with timely, appropriate, and policy-compliant access to corporate resources
- Risk-based access approvals
- Preventative Segregation of Duties to automatically deny access requests when they conflict with set policies
- Easier management of identity risk across the enterprise
- Near real-time remediation of risk and policy violations
Identity Governance is Key to a Secure Enterprise
If an organization cannot manage access to applications and sensitive data, they are at risk for fraud, audit failure, and security data breaches.
In order to protect against threats, an Identity Governance strategy should enable an organization to answer these questions:
- Who has access to what resources?
- Which users should have access to which resources?
- What are those users doing with that access?
- Are there effective organizational controls for managing access?
- Can auditors verify that the controls are working?
Operational efficiency is key here, whether it’s ensuring those controls don’t get in the way of users, as well as driving costs out of the audit process.
