Are hidden access review gaps putting your organization at risk? Here are 4 essential steps you can take right now to close those access review gaps 1️⃣ Regularly audit user permissions to ensure least privilege access • Review user roles and permissions at least quarterly • Remove unnecessary permissions and inactive accounts • Use role-based access control (RBAC) to simplify management 💡 Example: Conduct a quarterly audit of all admin accounts and revoke excessive privileges 2️⃣ Implement continuous monitoring to detect anomalies in real-time • Set up alerts for unusual access patterns or behavior • Monitor failed login attempts and account lockouts • Use AI tools to analyze user activity logs 💡 Example: Configure alerts for multiple failed logins from the same IP address within a short timeframe 3️⃣ Automate access reviews to reduce manual errors and save time • Use access review tools to streamline the process • Set up automated reminders and escalations for reviewers • Integrate with identity and access management (IAM) systems 💡 Example: Implement an access review tool that automatically revokes access if not approved within a set deadline 4️⃣ Involve business owners in the review process for accurate decisions • Engage application and data owners in access reviews • Provide context on user roles and responsibilities • Collaborate with HR to ensure access aligns with job functions 💡 Example: Schedule regular meetings with department heads to review and validate employee access rights

5 Steps to Eliminate Unused SaaS Licenses 1️⃣ Gain visibility into usage data across all SaaS apps • Utilize tools (*cough* Stitchflow *cough*) to track and analyze usage data • Integrate with identity providers for user information • Create dashboards to visualize usage trends and identify low-usage apps 2️⃣ Identify inactive or low-usage accounts • Set thresholds for inactivity (e.g., no login in 30 days) • Flag accounts with low usage based on key metrics (e.g., < 10% of features used) • Reach out to users to understand their needs and provide guidance 3️⃣ Implement a centralized system to track and manage users • Use a data visibility management platform to centralize data • Maintain a single source of truth for all SaaS contracts and licenses • Automate alerts for upcoming renewals and license changes 4️⃣ Establish clear processes for user onboarding and offboarding • Create a standardized workflow for provisioning and deprovisioning licenses • Integrate with HR systems to automatically adjust licenses based on employee status • Conduct regular access reviews to ensure licenses are reclaimed when no longer needed 5️⃣ Regularly review and optimize your SaaS license inventory • Assess usage and value delivered by each SaaS application • Right-size license tiers based on actual usage and business requirements • Consolidate redundant tools and negotiate volume discounts with vendors
