pinSpark ensures Secure IT Access for Insurance Industry

Protecting data against unauthorized access is a critical mission for IT departments at insurance companies.  The Pinnacle pinSpark role-based access governance suite makes it possible to accomplish that mission within budget and without taking months to complete.

 

pinSpark is ideally suited to solve insurance organizations’ access management issues, including:

         Complying with government and industry regulations covering the security of sensitive customer data

         Maintaining a trustworthy, reliable reputation to customers and partners.

         Keeping IT and IT security cost effective. Insurance firms, like many businesses, must reduce inefficient and potentially costly processes. These include manual account provisioning, which can be time consuming and prone to error, and the potential cost of a security breach or loss of data.

   

The pinSpark role-based access governance system helps insurance firms to meet these challenges by providing key security management and auditing options.

 

         Auditing and certification. The pinSpark software regularly scans roles and assigned accounts and checks them against security guidelines. It also provides a compliance auditing process so that IT managers can check for compliance with specific regulations, such as HIPAA or Sarbanes-Oxley, and generate a certificate of compliance.

 

         Separation-of-duty alerts. Conflicting or inappropriate access is flagged and reported. When roles or access rights appear to violate a security policy, pinSpark warns the IT manager of the potential problem.

 

         Role-based provisioning. By using pinSpark's role engineering and management capabilities, IT managers can provision employees with IT accounts and resources much more quickly than before.

 

         Multiple reporting options. pinSpark provides both canned reports and customizable report templates for tracking a variety of factors, including SOD violations, policy compliance, and changes to existing roles. Executives and supervisors can also view key data on a customizable dashboard.
