Risks of "Forgotten" Accounts

After an employee is dismissed, it is important to promptly close all of their accounts and revoke access to corporate resources. However, in reality, this process is often delayed or not fully completed. This creates a situation where a former employee retains active accounts that can be used by malicious actors.

Consequences of Unrevoked Access:

• Leakage of confidential information: A former employee can access trade secrets, financial reports, customer personal data, and other valuable information.
• System compromise: Unauthorized access to corporate systems can lead to hacking, malware infection, and disruptions in operations.
• Financial losses: Data leaks and system compromise can result in significant financial losses associated with compensation payments, investigations, and recovery of operability.
• Reputational damage: Incidents involving data leaks can negatively impact the company's reputation and undermine the trust of customers and partners.
• Compliance with regulatory requirements: Many industries are regulated by strict rules regarding data protection. Failure to comply with these regulations can lead to fines and other sanctions.

Centralized Access Rights Management

Trust IAP offers a centralized solution for managing employee access rights. This allows HR and IT managers to get a complete picture of what resources each employee has access to and promptly revoke those accesses upon dismissal. Read more about Trust IAP on the Trust Tech website.

Key Features of Centralized Management:

• Unified management console: All accounts and access rights are managed from a single console, which simplifies administration and ensures transparency.
• Automated access rights revocation: When an employee is dismissed, the system automatically revokes all of their access to all corporate resources.
• Role-based access model: Access rights are assigned based on roles, which allows you to quickly and efficiently grant and revoke access for large groups of employees.
• Action audit: The system maintains a detailed audit of all actions related to access rights management, which allows you to track changes and identify possible violations.
• Integration with existing systems: Trust IAP easily integrates with existing IT systems such as Active Directory, cloud providers, and others.

Integration with HR Systems

For maximum efficiency, Trust IAP integrates with HR systems. This allows you to automatically initiate the offboarding process when information about an employee's dismissal is received. Synchronization with the HR system eliminates the need for manual data entry and minimizes the risk of errors.

Benefits of integration with HR systems:

• Automatic initiation of the offboarding process: As soon as an employee is dismissed in the HR system, Trust IAP automatically starts the access rights revocation process.
• Data synchronization: Trust IAP automatically synchronizes employee data with the HR system, which ensures that the information about access rights is up-to-date.
• Reducing on offboarding time: Automating the offboarding process can significantly reduce the time it takes to revoke access rights.
• Reducing the risk of errors: Automation eliminates the need for manual data entry, which minimizes the risk of errors and omissions.
• Improved compliance with regulatory requirements: Automatic revocation of access rights helps ensure compliance with regulatory requirements regarding data protection.
