Securing significant volumes of personal data

Identity and Access Management systems are ideal for Higher Education institutes with large populations with varying user types, by allowing centralised management of identities. Identity and Access Management systems provide a single source of truth for personal data in one place. More secure and easier to manage than multiple databases, Identity and Access Management security policies define the storage and use of the data.

Managing multiple roles can be complex, with crossover between student, faculty and alumni

Multiple roles, flat organisation and complex structure are common in Higher Education institutes, there are different ways to address this challenge. By introducing a roles-based access control system, complex and varying user permissions can be simplified down to a single role. A roles-based access control system introduces a centralised structure for roles, a source of truth. Assertiv Consulting can help define this business structure and role hierarchy to ensure access is granted easily. Alternatively, empower the entire organisation with a self-service platform for requesting and approving access to applications and software. By decentralising access decisions, this frees IT to work on strategic projects, whilst allowing faculty, students and staff to access what they need.

Valuable research data

Our services provide Higher Education institutes support with document management in two ways. First, we can support in the discovery of the underlying document management processes, defining the delegation and policies of decisions and permissions. Secondly, we can connect your chosen Identity and Access Management system to your existing document management systems, or new ones (both cloud based and on-prem), providing secure single sign on for simplified access.
