Organizations still rely on traditional, manual access reviews, creating challenges for NIS2 compliance. But how can this process be optimized?
User access reviews are routine checks to confirm that employees have the right access to data, systems, and applications. These reviews ensure that only the necessary people have access to sensitive information.
They help businesses maintain security by reducing the risk of unauthorized access, ensuring compliance with cybersecurity regulations.
User access reviews are critical for meeting the standards of certifications like NIS2 and ISO 27001, which require proof that companies control who has access to sensitive information.
The challenges of traditional user access reviews
Many organizations still rely on manual processes like exporting data into Excel sheets, sending emails to team leaders, and manually tracking progress. While this approach might work, it creates a number of significant issues:
Manual access reviews, especially using Excel, lead to high overhead, limited scalability, and the tendency to focus only on core systems. This reactive approach is not business-friendly, introduces inefficiencies, and makes it harder to comply with modern security standards and audit requirements.
