As businesses grow and evolve, managing access permissions becomes increasingly complex. With numerous applications, thousands of users, and intricate role-based entitlements, collecting access information can be daunting.
The review process is prone to errors, and even after completion, manually implementing remediation actions remains arduous. According to our State of Access Reviews Report, 36% of companies describe this process as being extremely manual, leading to inefficiencies and potential security risks.
It's 2024, and access reviews no longer have to be stuck in the stone age.

Contextual Review Levels
Zluri's multi-level access reviews allow you to involve various stakeholders in your certification campaign based on your organization's access governance policies. Department heads, IT owners, application owners, finance teams, compliance officers, or security experts can review and sign off on reviews, ensuring a thorough and comprehensive review process.
For example:
First Level: Typically carried out by reporting managers or department heads. As they usually have a better understanding of their team members' roles, they can evaluate access permissions to ensure they align with job responsibilities.
Second Level: Following the first-level reviews, the process gets escalated to the second level, where the IT administrator re-reviews the decisions taken by the primary reviewers. This secondary reviewer ensures that access permissions are scrutinized from both a governance and security standpoint.
By conducting multi-level reviews, you can ensure a comprehensive, holistic assessment of access risks from cross-functional stakeholders, adding extra levels of checks and balances.
Automated Access Remediation
Upon completion of the reviews, Zluri's powerful auto-remediation engine takes over. It automatically revokes or modifies user access privileges based on the reviewers' decisions, eliminating the need for manual action.
Audit ready reports
Zluri generates detailed, audit-ready reports demonstrating your organization's adherence to compliance standards such as SOX, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and others. These reports provide a comprehensive trail of the review process, decisions made, and actions taken, ensuring complete audit transparency.
