Governing Access, Controlling Costs
Aberdeen Group, April 2011, Pages: 12
Governing end-user access to enterprise resources as part of an organization's IT Governance, Risk Management and Compliance (GRC) initiative helps enterprises to manage security risk (e.g., control access to key information assets, protect against error and fraud, enforce proper separation of duties), address regulatory requirements (e.g., Sarbanes-Oxley, J-SOX, EuroSOX), and address the diverse needs of multiple stakeholders (e.g., end-users, business owners, auditors, IT). In addition, Aberdeen's research on 'Managing Identities and Access' (March 2011) demonstrates that the leading performers in governing access also realize tangible financial benefits in comparison to lagging performers in several important areas, including increased end-user productivity, reduced risk, increased agility, enhanced security and compliance, and lower total cost.
Key benefits of the report:
- Decrease Orphaned Accounts
- Integrate new Applications Faster
- Lower Unauthorized Access
Aberdeen's Research Briefs provide a deeper exploration of the principal findings derived from primary research, including key performance indicators, Best-in-Class insight and vendor insight.
For the purposes of this Research Brief:
- Identity and Access Management (IAM) refers to managing end-user identities and access privileges over their lifecycle - from initial provisioning, to real-time daily operations, to ongoing end-user support, to eventual de-provisioning and revocation.
- Governance refers to the frameworks, policies, procedures, controls, decision-making hierarchy etc. which are employed to make decisions and manage the business.
- Compliance refers to meeting and sustaining requirements for government regulations, industry regulations and internal policies within the alloted timeframe.
