Car parts delivery service ensures safe password management with Netwrix Password Secure

Challenge

As a result of its rapid growth, Bandel Automobiltechnik needed to improve its credentials management processes:

• Simplify secure onboarding for new employees
  Bandel needed to ensure that new employees could quickly and easily access the data they required while maintaining secure access with appropriate authorization levels to prevent exposure of sensitive information.
• Streamline permission management for trainees
  The company needed a more efficient way to manage permissions for 20 trainees who rotated between departments every three months, ensuring accurate and timely access updates.
• Reduce IT workload during offboarding
  Bandel’s existing process required manually resetting passwords whenever an employee left the company. The organization wanted to automate this process to ease the administrative burden on the IT team.
• Prevent unauthorized access and data misuse
  To mitigate the risk of data misuse and theft, Bandel needed to block employees from logging into corporate accounts from home or using private devices to access sensitive company data.

Netwrix solution

After extensive research and analysis of tests and ratings, Bandel chose Netwrix Password Secure to address its challenges. With Netwrix Password Secure, Bandel achieved the following results:

• Secure password sharing. Bandel employees across all corporate divisions can securely share credentials for websites, such as car rental platforms and online shops.
• Streamlined workflows. Sensitive data such as credit card information can be stored with and used for automated login via SSO with little effort.
• Decreased IT burden. Netwrix Password Secure significantly reduced the administrative burden for the IT department, thanks to capabilities like automated import of AD objects, credential discovery, and password reset and synchronization. Password privacy protection and role-based rights management eliminate the need to create and share individual passwords for each employee.
