Identity Cirtifications, Identity Audit, SRM and Compliance Management..
Prior Certification Process
The process in place at the customer’s prior to the implementation of the SRM was a manual one. It was a home-grown application where the Managers had a timeline by which they had to certify the users within their Business Unit. The process was slow and cumbersome since the User Certifications had to be reconciled by the administrator and manually processed to generate the reports. Moreover, if a Manager specifies that a user does not belong to his BU, the user is removed and becomes an orphan until the admin re-assigns the user. In this manner, the user ids get disconnected from the user on the go without any admin intervention.
Requirements
· Central repository to import users from different applications for certifications
· Only user info within the Identity Certification tables to be affected when user is tagged as unknown by a specific BU Manager
· Changes in access to a parent namespace should reflect on its dependent applications
· Generate customized reports to view status of user and accounts certifications based on several criteria
· Comprehensive label changes to meet internal nomenclature conventions
Solutions
Simeio Solutions introduced the Sun Role and Compliance Manager (SRM) version 4.1.4 to meet the client’s requirements. During the role out and implementation process, there were comprehensive changes and customizations that were made and detailed documentations on these were prepared and provided for the client’s use. With the latest version, the client reaped the benefits of getting the customized module, ideally suited to meet their specific internal certification standards. With automated user imports to the central repository within SRM called the Identity Warehouse, the customer was able to group all users and perform a simple and automated user certification.
The solution was carefully designed and customized based on daily meetings with the client’s internal team. This hands-on approach provided the client’s internal resources with advanced knowledge on the SRM solution while also ensuring that the solution delivered, met the needs of all the stake-holders involved in the certification process.
