The Challenge
We get it
-
Data privacy and security is more important than ever.
-
Today, clients expect you to have a grip on who has access to their data and where it is at all times while in your custody.
-
You have a ton of vendors, employees, and software systems.
-
You are expected to keep track of tens of thousands of records of who had access to what and when.
-
This level of access management is virtually impossible without a dedicated toolset.
-
Processes for approving access enables you to comfortably maintain that access is granted only to those that need it.
-
Processes for removing all access from an offboarded individual can avoid data breaches.
-
You need a full audit trail of all granted and revoked access to prove that your data was only accessed by those people that need it.
Certification
-
Many business clients are now requiring their vendors to have information security certification (e.g. ISO-27001, SOC-2)
-
Without such certification, clients may require time-consuming non-reusable vendor security questionnaires.
-
You do not want to lose these valuable business clients!
-
The certification process has an emphasis on provably adhering to proper on/offboarding procedures and access control protocols.
-
Once certification is granted, you are required to constantly improve your protocols in order to maintain the certification.
-
Your business needs a system that helps you pass the certification audit, and that system needs a team dedicated to its constant improvement
The threat is real
-
Irreparable damage to your company's revenue and reputation only requires one single rogue ex-employee or contractor whose access was not fully removed.
-
Some 20% of organizations say they have experienced data breaches by ex-employees. (techrepublic)
-
Around 11% of data breaches in 2023 were caused by actions of a rogue employee or insider threat. (OAIC)
-
76% of IT leaders strongly agree that offboarding is a significant security threat. (zippia)
-
89% of former employees still have access to private business apps and data. (zippia)
Waste
-
Improper management of software and vendors leads to recurring payments for value you no longer seek.
-
Unused access to systems ties up licenses that you are paying for.
-
Completing every client's vendor security questionnaire is time that could be put to better use.
-
Employees waste time requesting software/access and following-up on the request until approved or rejected.
-
A dedicated system built for this purpose would save a lot of time and money.
The Solution
AxoTrax provides software dedicated to easing the information security certification process. Enjoy a place to manage your software, vendors, contractors, and access. Here is how it works:
Entities
-
Manage your employee userbase manually or integrate with your HRIS system.
-
Maintain lists of all your software, vendors, vendor personnel, shared password vaults, hardware, etc.
-
simply submit the request in-app to on/offboard the entity and let the request flow through your custom process until approved or rejected.
Flows
-
You have full control for configuring approval flows.
-
Choose what fields appear in the request forms.
-
Fine tune the approval processes to suit your business' needs.
-
Receive updates along the way
Access
-
Similar to the entities, simply submit a request to grant or remove access and let it flow though an approval process.
-
View all pending and outstanding access for any employee, vendor, etc.
-
When an entity is offboarded, access removal flows will be activated for all outstanding access.
-
View and search a full audit trail of all access to ever be requested or approved including who approved what and when.
Examples
-
Requesting a software may require the submitter to provide the name, cost, admin for the software, and other details.
-
The request may first go to IT for security review
-
Then the person responsible for the software budget line item accepts or rejects the cost
-
Then the person in charge of administering the software formally accept the responsibility
-
Finally, the legal team reviews the contractual terms.
-
-
Requesting access to a software for an employee may require approval from the the employee's manager and the person managing the budget line item for the software.
