Do Your Technology Prospects Know the Critical Importance of “Continuous” Access Evaluation?

Third party risk management, illustrated by a locked safe connected to a breached safe.

Today’s word is continuous. A word that your technology solution prospects need to understand.

The problem

The Identity Jedi just shared the dirty little secret that we all know but aren’t willing to admit.

[A]ccess reviews aren’t inherently about security — they’re about satisfying auditors.”

The Jedi’s assumption is that the access review is a periodic one, completely satisfied by manually checking boxes.

Because it’s easier to evaluate whether a box is checked than to evaluate whether the system is truly secure, and people who no longer deserve access don’t have it.

The solution

But companies move beyond check boxes anyway, because they realize the other point that the Identity Jedi made.

“Instead of waiting for quarterly reviews, implement continuous access evaluation that flags high-risk or out-of-policy access the moment it happens — not months later.”

Many cybersecurity and TPRM vendors have implemented continuous access evaluation. Has yours?

For the continued access evaluation vendors

And if you are a vendor of a continued access evaluation solution, do your prospects know about why it’s critically important, and the benefits that such a solution provides?

If you haven’t told your prospects about the benefits of continuous access evaluation, it’s time.

And I can help.
