An access review describes the process of monitoring the rights and privileges of everyone who can interact with data and applications. This includes management of personnel, employees, vendors, service providers, and other third parties that your organization has been involved with. ‍ Also known as entitlement review, account attestation, or account recertification, access reviews are essential to the management, monitoring, and auditing of user account lifecycles.

‍ ‍ We're thrilled to announce our enhanced Access Reviews solution. Access Reviews is a robust, automated offering that aligns to the main stages of an access review. It makes it easy to perform reviews on a proactive, continuous basis; not just point-in-time reviews for compliance purposes. The result is faster, more accurate reviews that lead to streamlined audits, lower labor costs, and a stronger security posture. Access Reviews is now available for purchase.

If you’re new to security and compliance, you may be wondering how to tackle this problem—especially at scale. ‍ With effective mobile device management (MDM) software, your company can manage and secure employee devices used to access company systems and applications. ‍
