Novell Access Governance Suite
Drive ownership and accountability
Bridge the gap between business and IT and increase accountability throughout your organization. Our solution provides a complete audit trail of who has access to what, how they got it and who authorized it—all so you can prove compliance across the board.
The Problem
Roles management and compliance requirements are complex. And the more users, more IT personnel and more line-of-business managers involved in either process, the more difficult it is to drive ownership and accountability. Without a clear picture of who is in charge of which role lifecycles and access rights, it becomes nearly impossible to ensure and prove compliance.
In addition, stakeholders in the access governance process must be able to communicate with each other easily and accurately. This is especially critical when those stakeholders represent different functions or groups within the enterprise. But there is naturally a disconnect between what the IT staff needs to know and what business managers need to know.
What organizations need is a solution that enables comprehensive insight for all stakeholders into who has—and who should have—access to what information resources based on their business responsibilities. Organizations need a sound access governance solution so they can extend accountability and drive ownership throughout the business.
The Novell Solution
Access Governance solutions from Novell deliver the industry's most comprehensive entitlement administration capabilities. IT security teams can collaborate with business units and internal compliance teams on governing user access through roles lifecycle management and automated access certification. This ensures that all the right people participate in access governance and drives accountability into the lines of business where it belongs.
We enable business managers to process change requests for user entitlements and roles with proactive enforcement of compliance policies such as SOD. Our access governance solutions propagate change requests wherever they need to go to implement approval and provisioning workflows. That means that no human intervention is needed to make necessary changes in provisioning, access enforcement and enterprise change management and notification systems.
Our technology makes it easy for compliance and business managers to determine:
- Who has access to what and how they got it
- Whether they should have access and who approved what
- What business and IT roles are appropriate
- Whether compliance objectives are being met
- What the key risk indicators are
And your organization can now drive responsibility and accountability for access decisions into the organization, while the power of closed-loop automated remediation ensures and validates that the business policy is followed.
