As businesses and IT systems are becoming more complex and collaborative, security risks and compliance requirements also grow. Misuse of IT is generally seen as the primary cause in the event of fraud or theft: risks increase as people accumulate too many access rights, defeat Segregation of Duties or get around Chinese walls. Effective authorization management is the key to prevent misuse of IT. To establish complete control, a first step is to get insight in who has access to what and immediately find violations– and that is exactly what Bhold Controls has been developed for.

Bhold Controls is designed to be an easy to use, analysis tool that detects access violations across the enterprise based on rules nominated by the business to meet its own compliance requirements.

By putting Bhold Controls through its paces a number of times each year, management demonstrates ongoing compliance with rules and regulations and proves they have taken effective measures to control fraud and misuse.

Now deployed for a number of large and medium sized organizations, Bhold Controls quickly proved its indispensable contribution to Access Governance.
