Access Certifications

Make sure that access to groups, distribution lists and sensitive business data is consistently reviewed by the right people.

Certifications are delivered directly to data owners which lets them see who currently has access to their data and make changes without any involvement from IT. Our machine learning algorithms flag users that probably shouldn’t have access anymore, making reviews quick and easy.

Access Control Workflows

Authorization workflows let users request access to folders, groups, distribution lists, and SharePoint sites, folders, and lists through an easy-to-use web form. Each request is routed to the proper stakeholders based on the workflows you setup.

Handling access requests is as simple as replying to an email. Once approved, access is automatically granted by DataPrivilege without any involvement from IT.

Integrate with IAM (Identity and Access Management) and ITSM (IT Service Management) solutions

Synchronize managed data with your IAM/ITSM solution

Return instructions to DataPrivilege to execute and report on requests and access control changes

Externally control DataPrivilege entitlement reviews, self-service access workflows, ownership assignment, and more

Today users can request access to a group, and the data owners are automatically involved in the decision to either grant or revoke access without IT intervention. This not only speeds the process up, but also frees up IT to perform other tasks.

Serena Lee, Senior Security Analyst, AXA Wealth

“There are two things that you want do for security. You want to prevent people who aren’t supposed to get to your sensitive data, from getting to your sensitive data. But you also need to be able to audit your data inventory to moderate access and ensure that those who need access to the data have it, and that they are using it correctly. Varonis is one of the few security solutions that actually does both.”

Tom Podles, Director of Infrastructure, Loyola University Maryland

FAQFrequently Asked Questions

General Information

  • How do I approve or deny requests?

    You can either click a link directly in an email to approve or deny a request, or log into into the DataPrivilege web UI.

  • What if I don’t want data owners to have admin rights?

    Data owners can only manage users for shares and groups that they own.

    There's no need to grant data owners additional access rights to any other shares or groups.

  • Can DataPrivilege manage distribution lists?

    Yep - DataPrivilege manages distribution lists/ groups in the same way we manage shares.

    Each distribution list has an assigned owner that approves/denies/reviews the membership of the group, and they are responsible for who is in that distribution list.

  • How can I change owners if somebody leaves?

    Changing owners for a share or a group is simple - and you can do it directly in the UI. You can even search for all items with the previous owner to streamline the updates.

  • Can I pull owners from a CMDB?

    Yes!

    If you have previously identified data owners in a different system, you can import that list into the DataPrivilege database, setting those users as data owners for those shares.
