Understanding who has access to what type of data within your organization is paramount
Yet most companies have a sprawling data asset with an incomplete picture of how data is leveraged across business units and teams.
Access and usage intelligence provides visibility into your employee’s data activity based on their role within the organization. This helps you understand what data is being accessed, how often, and for what purpose with the goal of perfectly aligning permissions to employees’ data needs. Getting this wrong introduces incremental and unnecessary risk into your business.
For example, is some type of data used widely for different purposes and use cases across a broad set of teams? That’s a useful insight which can inform how a company plans future data acquisition strategies.
Conversely, if there is data that is not widely used, why bother capturing that type of data in the future? Better yet, consider removing that data to reduce your risk profile since there is no trade-off for value.
