Companies have different requirements that they need for regulating internal and external identities' access to company resources. On the one hand, rule checks are used for locating rule violations and on the other hand, to prevent them. By using these rules, you can demonstrate compliance with legislated regulations such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX). The following demands are made on compliance:
-
Compliance rules define what an employee is entitled to do or not do. For example, an identity may not have both entitlements A and B at the same time.
-
Company policies are very flexible, and can be defined for any company resources you are managing with Manager. For example, a policy might only allow identities from a certain department to own a certain entitlement.
-
Each item that an identity access can be given a risk value. A risk index can be calculated for identities, accounts, organization, roles, and for the groups of resources available for request. You can then use the risk indexes to help prioritize your compliance activities.
Some rules are preventative. For example, a request will not be processed if it violates the rules, unless exception approval is explicitly granted and an approver allows it. Compliance rules (if appropriate) and company policies are run on a regular schedule and violations appear in the identity’s Web Portal to be dealt with there. Company policies can contribute to mitigation control by reducing risk. For example, if risks are posed by identities running processes outside the One Identity Manager solution and causing violations. Reports and dashboards provide you with comprehensive compliance information

The Web Portal offers you the option to display identities' historical data.
To do this, you have the following options:
Table 38: Historical data
|
Events |
This shows you all the events that affect the identity, either on a timeline or in a table (see Displaying my identity history). |
|
Status overview |
This shows you an overview of all assignments. It also shows how long each change was valid for. Use the status overview to track when changes were made and by whom. This way, you not only see the initial and current status but you also see all the steps in between (see Displaying the status overview of my identities). |
|
Status comparison |
You can select a date and display all the changes made from then until now. This also shows you what the value of the property was at the selected point in time and what the value is now (see Comparing statuses of my identities). |
