The right identity, access and security Management technology enables easier compliance and competitive advantage for business
(19.03.08) - Compliance doesn’t have to be daunting. The best identity, access and security management technologies help companies establish the controls and business structure that enable governance. And, with that in place, compliance comes naturally, putting CSOs in the driver’s seat with automated, on-demand compliance capabilities to make audits more effective and efficient.

It’s no secret that security and compliance violations today can prove disastrous. Corporate fumbles can quickly become headlines, thrusting customers into the waiting arms of the competition. Well thought-out governance, risk and compliance (GRC) strategies help companies, large and small, to avoid those nasty entanglements. Compliance is no longer the four-letter word that it used to be, a mandate imposed by outside forces. "Today, compliance is more often self-imposed," says Ross Chevalier, CTO Canada for Waltham, Mass.-based Novell. "It’s a differentiator, an opportunity to prove trust and competence."
Perhaps that change in mindset stems from the fact that getting the corporate house in order and preparing for audits doesn’t have to be as convoluted as once expected. "If we achieve our security goals, proving compliance is simple,” says Mike Johnson, security architect for Ingersoll Rand. And, according to a recent survey by IDG Research Services, that’s exactly what smart business and IT leaders are doing. This report sheds new light on why many companies are implementing identity, access and security management to automate the compliance process.
Key findings of the research include
>> Risk management and compliance rate high as drivers of identity, access and security management.
>> The ability to "prove” compliance is revealed as the top benefit of implementing identity, access and security management solutions.
>> When it comes to successfully identifying and managing risk, many companies score lower than one might expect.
Security Tops the List
In today’s digital economy, security and risk management is a priority for most organizations. The right processes and systems safeguard intellectual property, protect private customer information and keep companies from crumbling under the negative press that inevitably comes with security violations. And, perhaps more important, they put the necessary controls and business structure in place to prove compliance - if, or when, the need arises. In a recent survey by IDG Research Services, more than three-quarters of respondents assign a critical or high priority to their companies’ ability to identify and manage risk. At the same time, a majority consider the ability to prove compliance, secure access for remote employees and 24x7 security monitoring as critically important.
Addressing those priorities may seem a complicated endeavor, but several key components make for a practical strategy, which can be delineated as: Security management is a holistic view of "how security is done" within an organization; identity management is a standard around which the question "who are you?" can be answered, while access management is a standard that helps define which identities are granted usage of assets; and although these are discreet disciplines, together they comprise a complimentary set of technologies that contribute to good governance. "We must be able to tell ‘who that is’ and manage the ‘what and when’ parts of administration," says Johnson. "Without identity and access management, there is no way we could achieve our goals."
He believes identity and access management are foundational building blocks, helping to ensure that "the right people have the right access to information." Interestingly, the majority (71 percent) of respondents are already using security management solutions at their companies. Similarly, their companies are using access management (66 percent) and identity management solutions (62 percent).
