Features that simplify access certification

Campaign based reviews

Example:

Outdated permissions raise audit concerns

An internal audit reveals that several employees still have access to legacy financial applications they no longer use. The excessive permissions violate least-privilege policy and could trigger a SOX compliance issue.

Organization-wide certification campaign launched

With Netwrix Identity Management, IT initiates a certification campaign covering all users and systems. Managers receive automated review tasks showing each employee’s current access across directories, applications, and data repositories.

Business owners validate and approve access

Department heads review entitlements and either approve or revoke access directly from their review interface. Automated reminders ensure timely completion, while IT tracks overall progress and exceptions through a central dashboard.

Automated remediation removes stale access

When the campaign closes, revoked or unused permissions are automatically deprovisioned. Access is realigned to each user’s current responsibilities, eliminating privilege creep and ensuring compliance with corporate policy.

Audit-ready evidence delivered instantly

When auditors request proof, IT exports detailed reports showing who reviewed access, what decisions were made, and when remediation occurred. Compliance evidence that once required manual tracking is now available in minutes.

Result

With Netwrix Identity Management, organizations automate access certification to maintain least-privilege access and continuous audit readiness. Review campaigns, delegated approvals, and automated cleanup reduce risk, simplify compliance, and strengthen governance.
