The Challenge

​​​

• Maintaining data can be a complex challenge, particularly within government systems where large numbers of employees can join, move and leave within the organisation and will require varying levels of access to sensitive information.

• Without the management of access rights to streamline control over user permissions this was creating a headache for the security team who had to strike the fine balance between keeping data safe and allowing staff to be able to do their jobs effectively.

 

 

Our Solution

​​​

• Identified that the Joiner-Mover-Leaver (JML) process was a crucial framework for managing user efficiency and ensuring all employees have the correct access rights across the organisation. The implementation stage can be a lengthy process requiring a thorough analysis of job functions, responsibilities and access conditions.

• By working closely with those within the organisation both roles and permissions were clearly defined and it became clear which RBAC framework was the most suitable for the client environment.

• Continuous adaptation was a notion 'baked in' to the project as organisations evolve and roles and permissions need to be regularly reviewed for relevance.

​

Key Outcomes

​

​

• Enhanced Security – government entities handle large amounts of sensitive data and by employing a RBAC model and the Principal of Least Privilege has reduced the attack surface and potential security breaches within the most classified areas of government.

• Improved Efficiency – operational efficiency is the backbone a successful organisation and with the power of RBAC operations were significantly streamlined across the organisation reducing administrative overheads and guaranteeing a certain level of consistency.

• The organisation was more equipped to meet regulatory requirements and security standards

• Streamlined Access for Users – in a dynamic working environment users can change roles quickly and by grouping users into roles access can then be updated quickly saving both time and effort.
