DATA ACCESS MANAGEMENT
Easily provision and manage access to all your data.
Data access management technology allows businesses to authorize users, employees and other stakeholders to access company data in a manner that meets security, privacy and compliance requirements. These requirements are typically set by security best practices and official regulations, such as GDPR. These regulations often require businesses to audit and place controls over the entities that can access sensitive information.
The main purpose of data access management is to ensure that access to business content within a business complies with the company’s policies and official regulations. While access policies are driven by many considerations, they largely fall under the category of security, privacy and compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the most asked questions we encounter regarding document and email management.
Data Access Management is a set of processes and technologies used to control access to applications or data. It involves the creation of groups or roles with defined access privileges and then controlling access by defining group memberships.
Access control protects data by ensuring that only authorized entities can retrieve data from an organization’s data repositories. When effectively implemented, access controls prevent unauthorized and compromised users from accessing sensitive data. Nowadays, proper data access management is typically expected from organizations by either clients or partners, but also due to a growing number of laws and regulations in this area.
- Open: This principle states that a user shall have access to all the information in a system if the user has access to the system or repository in which the information is being held. This type of data access is by far the least safe, as (in most cases) it’s not relevant for the user to have access to all the data.
- Open, unless: This principle states that a user shall have access to all the information in a system unless there are certain settings to shield specific data. As an example, it could be that HR or finance-related data only can be accessed by the HR or finance teams. This type of data access is safer than the previous, however, users could still have access to data that they don’t specifically need to do their day-to-day activities.
- Need-to-know: This principle states that a user shall only have access to the information that their job function requires, regardless of their security clearance level or other approvals. In other words: a user needs permissions AND a need-to-know in order to gain access to specific data which makes this type of data access the most secure – as it limits the potential impact of a data breach, if one may occur.
