Data is undoubtedly the focal point of unstructured data management, but in order to manage unstructured data effectively, identity governance expertise and processes are required.
Specifically, the IAM group plays a central role to ensure that:
- All high-risk, sensitive unstructured data has an appropriate access control model in place.
- Access to sensitive data is granted with oversight and according to pre-defined access policies.
- A periodic access review process by the appropriate business and technical owners is used to mitigate compliance and security risks.
- There is timely remediation of inappropriate access to unstructured data.
