CSI tools: A Fresh Perspective on Access Controls & SoD

$0.00

Manual processes and document-centric approaches to SoD, inherited rights, critical and super user access, is time-consuming, prone to mistakes and errors, and leave the business exposed. Organizations need to establish an access control and SoD strategy and process that is supported by technology to manage access control in a context that balances business agility with control and security to mitigate risk, reduce loss/exposure, and satisfy both auditors and regulators while enabling users to perform their jobs. By automating access controls, organizations take a proactive approach to avoiding risk while cutting down the cost and time required to maintain controls, be compliant, and mitigate risk.

CSI tools is a GRC offering that GRC 20/20 has researched, evaluated, and reviewed with organizations that are using it in changing, distributed, and dynamic business environments.  CSI tools provides analytic control solutions that audit and monitor SAP environments, manage and validate authorizations, and build roles tuned to the organizations security requirements and business needs. CSI tools enables organizations to evaluate existing roles, access rights of users, remediate issues, restructure roles to remove unnecessary roles and entitlements, as well as grant and document exceptions for non-compliant access for business reasons. GRC 20/20 has interviewed and engaged several CSI Tool clients and finds that the CSI tools solutions have helped them keep up with access controls and SoD in a way that maximizes their GRC resource efficiency, effectiveness, and agility.
