Risk assessment for rule violations

You can use One Identity Manager to evaluate the risk of rule violations. To do this, enter a risk index for the rule. The risk index specifies the risk involved for the company if the rule is violated. The risk index is given as a number in the range 0 ... 1. By doing this, you specify whether a rule violation is not considered a risk for the company (risk index = 0) or whether every rule violation poses a problem (risk index = 1).

When a rule condition is created, system entitlement risk indexes can already be included as an object property. By using rules of this type you can prevent system entitlements that exceed a specified risk index from being requested in the IT Shop.

You can create several reports with the Report Editor to evaluate objects, assignments, and rule violations depending on the risk index. For more information about creating scripts, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.

To evaluate the risk of a rule violation in the context of identity audit, you can enter values for grading rules on the Assessment criteria tab.
