Control the visibility of your data and applications
Organisations are facing increasing challenges to modernise their digital infrastructures and turn towards modern solutions that are flexible, promote advanced security, enhance communication and collaboration, and unlock opportunities for long-term scalability.
As cyber threats continue to grow in size and sophistication, the move towards hybrid and remote working has also resulted in the need for identity and access management tools that prevent unauthorised access to your data, files and applications.
The introduction of access permissions across your organisation can also mitigate risks, strengthen your security measures and protect employees from common cyber threats that can threaten your reputation, productivity and long-term financial stability, such as phishing or data breaches.
At Espria, our Identity & Access Management solutions can be integrated into your existing policies and systems, successfully supporting existing IAM systems, such as Security Access Markup Language (SAML) and OpenID Connect.
What is identity &
access management?
Identity and access management (IAM) is a set of policies, procedures and tools that allow you to control and verify who has access to confidential files, data and applications. Identity management refers to the establishment and authentication of digital identities; access management is the regulation of which digital identities can access certain documents and at what level.
Examples of identity management mechanisms include:
- Using a work computer accessible with a fingerprint
- Using one-time passcodes to access certain applications
- Using multi-factor authentication to ensure the person is who they say they are.
Examples of access management include:
- Establishing different levels of permissions and access to different users
- Using password management to ensure only necessary members of staff can use certain tools and applications.
Having these mechanisms in place and customised to your organisation’s unique operational needs reduces the risk of sensitive data being compromised either by disgruntled employees or by cyber criminals.
Our identity & access management solutions
At Espria, our identity and access management services are built on zero-trust identity and access principles, and cover four components of identity and access management.
Our IAM solutions also assess the inner workings of your organisation, covering areas such as your existing digital infrastructure, your current policies and access rights, identity management processes, as well as additional processes that support your activities, including privileged user management to protect all endpoints, and how these are monitored.
Authentication
By introducing Role Based Access Control (RBAC), employees will only be granted permissions to access the required data to fulfil their role and responsibilities. These permissions can be updated or removed at any time by management and can be tailored to the needs of each department or individual role.
Authorisation
Our identity and access management tools help organisations streamline the workflow of users and administrators, successfully facilitate collaboration and communication by granting granular access rights based on roles, responsibilities, and contexts, as well as enabling the creation of automated workflows to speed up the permissions processes with regards to role changes or new appointments.
The introduction of single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA) and password-less authentication options also simplify the user login process and enable users to manage their own profiles, preferences and credentials, enabling organisations to eliminate redundant and outdated user accounts, passwords and permissions.
Administration
By automating everyday IT tasks, our identity and access management tools can unlock cost savings, while placing additional resources on developing a robust identity and access management framework, as well as looking at ways to reduce ongoing costs through audit trails, reports and alerts.
Auditing
Our identity and access management tools can ensure that all confidential data is governed according to current laws and regulations to meet data protection standards, such as General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) to ensure your organisation remains compliant at all times.
