Description
SailPoint® is excited to announce the Access Model Metadata Service, enabling customers to enrich ISC Access Model items with custom or pre-defined metadata for enhanced context and tailored business needs!
The Access Model Metadata Service allows customers to add contextual information to ISC Access Model items. Customers can do this by using pre-defined metadata for risk, regulations, privacy levels, etc., or now by creating their own metadata attributes to reflect the unique needs of their business.
The ability to enrich the ISC Access Model with contextual information is a foundational capability which enables numerous ISC use cases, supports better user experiences, and facilitates more powerful AI capabilities.
New Capabilities
Customers can now create their own metadata attributes to reflect the unique needs of their business.
Problem
Many organizations are required to govern access to critical data and services in order to ensure they are complying with various regulations and internal security policies. Governing access involves making sure that the right users have the right access at the right time including making sure that those users have only the access they need to perform their job responsibilities and that any access they no longer need or aren’t using is removed in a timely manner.
Accomplishing this can be challenging. To be successful, organizations must be able to include business context information in their governance processes. They need to be able to provide this information to the business users who are engaged in their governance processes and they must be able to use this business context information to organize their entitlements to align with their business needs.
Solution
Custom Access Model Metadata provides the ability for customers to enrich Roles and Entitlements with business context in the form of custom meta-data attributes which can be leveraged across the SailPoint Identity Security Cloud. Support for Access Profile metadata will be added in a subsequent release.
