New Study by Ponemon Institute Reveals Importance of Identity Compliance

Ponemon Institute, a privacy and information management research firm, conducted this inaugural study on identity compliance. The goal of the study was to better understand how business and government organizations are ensuring correct identity and access management (IAM) rights within their enterprises.

Key survey findings show:

Although a majority of organizations are using identity and access management (IAM) solutions today, two-thirds of them remain unable to effectively focus IAM policies and prioritize controls on the greatest areas of business risk.
For more than 70% of the respondents, identity compliance is ranked as important. The top identity compliance concerns include both tracking access of temporary and privileged users and ensuring privileges match the user’s job function.
Most organizations believe that the mission of identity compliance falls on the shoulders of four key groups – business/application owners, IT operations, audit/compliance groups and IT security. Unfortunately, more than 65% of respondents feel that there is little to no collaboration among these groups further hindering chances of success.
