Questions before the rollout.
What is access control?
Within data security, access controls refer to the measures put in place by security teams to manage access to files containing sensitive data. In doing so, they can limit access to customer data, employee data, or intellectual property. Unauthorised users are restricted to ensure the integrity of the organisation’s data.
Access control could involve setting specific permissions for individuals based on their roles, or allowing access for a specific period of time.
Why is access control important for businesses?
Access control is vital for businesses for a few different reasons. For instance, ensuring access to sensitive data is limited reduces the chance of it being leaked, either accidentally or on purpose. This can help avoid financial penalties, reputational damage, or legal disputes that may arise as a result.
Without the right access in place for confidential company information, unauthorised users may also be able to see business plans or intellectual property. If leaked, this could give competitors a glimpse of your organisation’s ambitions, and you could lose your competitive edge.
There are also compliance concerns to be aware of when it comes to access controls. Many businesses need to comply with industry-specific regulations, and the tighter the controls, the more data can be contained.
How do you control access to sensitive data?
Controlling access to sensitive data takes careful planning, and involves a number of strategies to keep prying eyes out of confidential files.
That can include putting Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) in place to verify the identity of users, or Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) that assigns permissions based on the individual’s roles or responsibilities within the company.
Data can also be classified to give individuals access to less sensitive information while high-risk data can remain restricted. The most important aspect of managing access controls is ensuring that your team can still carry out their roles effectively, without limiting productivity.
Benefits of access control software for an organisation
Not only can access control software bring enhanced security, it can also help you remain compliant with industry standards, and reduce the administrative burden on IT teams.
First and foremost, access control software ensures that unauthorised users don’t have access to sensitive data, and reduces the risk of data being leaked by insider or external parties.
However, having automated access control software in place can also be useful for ensuring security teams don’t have to manually manage access to sensitive data. RBAC can do this effectively, giving individuals permissions based on their roles within the company. The audit trail created by access control software can also help facilitate compliance audits, and prove that only authorised personnel have access to your most sensitive documents.
Why choose Metomic’s access control software?
Our solution focuses on managing access to assets where sensitive data points are shared. Metomic automates file visibility based on department and employment status, ensuring that employees only access files in line with their roles.
While access controls are primarily relevant to SaaS apps like Google Drive and Notion, Metomic also extends to platforms like Slack, where we help prevent sensitive data sharing with external parties in Slack Connect channels, by redacting or controlling access to sensitive data points.
Our goal is to mitigate the risk of sensitive data exposure in SaaS applications, adjusting access levels to ensure true data security.
