How to maintain tight control over Data Access Rights

When your data is accessible by multiple employees and teams across your organisation, data access rights must be carefully controlled to keep your environment safe. Always ensure that specific datasets are accessed only by the personnel who are authorised to do so. But how do you ensure only the right people in the organisation have access to the right information?

1. Place control of data access back in the hands of the data owner (the person that created the piece of data in the first instance) – only they know who should have access to the data they created and why. IT can no longer be responsible for knowing this level of information on such a large scale.
2. Make the process of controlling data access for the data owners as simple as possible through automation tools that integrate with existing collaboration platforms.
3. Use the automation tool to manage the bulk of the data access control in the background such as revoking inappropriate or out of data access, continually monitoring who is access what information and sending alerts to data owners if it spots some that doesn’t look right.
