In today’s interconnected world, managing both digital and physical access is paramount for organizations to uphold security, compliance, and operational efficiency. RightCrowd specializes in streamlining this process through the integration of Physical Identity and Access Management (PIAM) within the Joiners, Movers, and Leavers (JML) process, offering a comprehensive approach to managing user identities throughout their lifecycle.
The JML Process: Bridging Digital and Physical Access
1. Joiners:
During the Joiners phase, RightCrowd SmartAccess ensures seamless onboarding by provisioning new employees, contractors, or partners into both digital systems and physical spaces. This involves creating user accounts, assigning access rights, and issuing access credentials such as ID badges or key cards. Additionally, RightCrowd SmartAccess provides comprehensive training on both digital security policies and physical access protocols to ensure that new users are equipped to fulfill their roles securely from day one.
2. Movers:
In the Movers phase, RightCrowd SmartAccess facilitates updates to user roles or responsibilities across both digital and physical access controls. This includes adjusting access permissions in digital systems and modifying access credentials to align with users’ evolving roles and access requirements. Regular access reviews are conducted to verify that users have appropriate digital and physical access privileges, minimizing the risk of unauthorized entry or data breaches.
3. Leavers:
During the Leavers phase, RightCrowd SmartAccess ensures a smooth offboarding process by promptly revoking both digital and physical access. This involves deprovisioning user accounts in digital systems and revoking access credentials to prevent unauthorized entry to buildings or restricted areas. Exit interviews and physical access audits are conducted to ensure that departing users return company assets and do not retain any access credentials, mitigating the risk of data breaches.
Benefits of Integrated PIAM within the MJL Process:Benefits of Integrated PIAM within the MJL Process:
- Enhanced Security: By synchronizing digital and physical access management, organizations can mitigate the risk of unauthorized access and data breaches.
- Regulatory Compliance: Integrating PIAM ensures that access controls adhere to industry regulations and internal security policies.
- Operational Efficiency: Streamlining digital and physical access provisioning and deprovisioning processes reduces administrative overhead and accelerates onboarding and offboarding procedures.
- Seamless User Experience: Providing consistent access across digital and physical resources enhances user productivity and satisfaction.
Incorporating RightCrowd’s Vision into the Lifecycle Management Process
