About this project

Fast-growing companies often give administrator access for convenience and rarely take it away. Former staff and forgotten accounts then become a serious risk, and an audit finding.

Keyward moves access to single sign-on and grants privileged rights for limited periods only. Leavers lose access automatically, and quarterly reviews create clear evidence for auditors.

Objectives

  • Remove permanent administrator access
  • Make leavers lose access automatically
  • Produce access evidence auditors can rely on

What’s delivered

  • Single sign-on across business applications
  • Just-in-time privileged access
  • Automated joiner, mover and leaver workflows
  • Quarterly access certification
  • ISO 27001 control mapping
