Access Review for Unstructured Data: Identity Panel Suite

The Identity Panel Suite enables organizations to perform access reviews not just on structured applications and systems, but also on unstructured data—such as documents, spreadsheets, and files stored on network shares, SharePoint, or cloud drives.

Unstructured data refers to information that does not reside in a traditional database or system. It includes documents stored in shared drives or cloud services that may contain sensitive or regulated information. With the Access Panel component, you can conduct reviews to validate who has access to these files, determine if that access is appropriate, and take corrective action when it’s not. This helps organizations reduce risk, meet compliance requirements, and support data governance initiatives.

Key Features

Access Panel supports unstructured data reviews with the following capabilities:

• Integration with File Systems: Pulls entitlement data from file shares, SharePoint, and other platforms where unstructured data resides.

• Automated Campaigns: Schedule and launch periodic reviews (attestation campaigns) to validate access, ensuring only appropriate users have rights to sensitive information.

• Reviewer Flexibility: Assign access review responsibilities to data owners, department heads, or system administrators.

• Policy-Driven Controls: Use criteria-based policies to define review scopes and automate enforcement decisions.

• Comprehensive Audit Trails: Track review decisions, exceptions, and actions taken for audit and compliance reporting.

These capabilities are made possible through the Identity Panel Suite’s unified governance model, which includes Projected Silos and Join Graph technology to map users, groups, and entitlements across systems—including those managing unstructured data​.
