In a landscape where regulations such as LGPD, GDPR, SOX, and ISO 27001 increasingly demand strict control over who accesses what, Identity and Access Management (IAM) has evolved from a purely IT tool into a core pillar of corporate governance.
Why is IAM critical for compliance?
Full traceability: every access action is logged, creating audit trails for regulatory inspections.
Principle of least privilege: ensures users have only the access they need, reducing the risk surface and meeting access control requirements.
Periodic access reviews: demonstrate that access rights are reviewed and approved by responsible managers.
Segregation of duties (SoD): prevents conflicts of interest and fraud, a direct requirement in frameworks such as SOX and ISO 27001.
Agile responses to auditor requests: enabled by centralized and structured data.
