User Access Review of EngNet via SQL Integration

Organizations managing critical infrastructure like EngNet often require regular user access reviews to meet internal security policies and regulatory mandates. When EngNet user identities and permissions are stored in a SQL-based system, Identity Panel enables seamless access reviews through its integrated SQL connector. This allows businesses to assess who has access to what, verify whether access is appropriate, and maintain accurate records of entitlements—all from within the Identity Panel Suite.

How It Works

Identity Panel connects to EngNet's SQL database using a scheduled scan configuration. This SQL integration retrieves user identity records and entitlements, which are stored in structured tables within Identity Panel’s identity silos. These records are then visualized in Access Panel for streamlined access review workflows. Key features include:

• Automated Import: SQL queries pull user and permission data into Identity Panel on a defined schedule.

• Time Traveler View: Every access change is historically tracked, enabling auditors to view who had access and when.

• Access Reviews: Campaigns can be initiated to review users' access to EngNet resources, with results logged for attestation and compliance.

Business Benefits

• Improved Compliance: Supports regulations like NERC CIP, SOX, and ISO 27001 by providing auditable user access logs.

• Operational Efficiency: Reduces manual effort and error by automating the data collection and review process.

• Actionable Insights: Identifies orphaned accounts, excessive privileges, and access mismatches to help mitigate security risks.

Identity Panel’s SQL integration empowers your organization to conduct reliable, repeatable, and compliant user access reviews for EngNet or any system backed by a SQL database.
