Access Management

CORTEX streamlines the management of role-based access rights to physical and logical resources. It features a user-friendly web interface where access rights can be defined and tailored based on specific roles, significantly enhancing the security and efficiency of access control. To ensure accuracy in role assignment, CORTEX integrates seamlessly with HR and Active Directory applications, accurately determining the roles assigned to employees, workers, or contractors.

Once roles are established, CORTEX configures the role-based access rights on access-granting systems, which may include creating user accounts. This system is also equipped to handle on-demand access requests, such as instances where a key fob is lost. In such scenarios, CORTEX presents a web page to authenticated and authorised users, allowing them to request specific access. It then collects and validates the request data, and if the request is valid, issues configuration commands to grant temporary access.

CORTEX conducts regular audits of access rights configurations. It identifies all user accounts on access-granting systems and maps these to specific individuals based on HR or Active Directory data. During these audits, it also identifies the managers of these individuals. It notifies them for additional approval of ongoing access, presenting personalised web pages for each manager to review and confirm the necessity of continued access for each employee.

It monitors the responses from managers, issuing reminders or escalations if responses are delayed. Based on the inputs from managers, it updates or removes access rights as required. All actions and decisions are meticulously logged for subsequent audits and compliance reviews. Additionally, CORTEX can escalate any data quality issues with the HR or Active Directory systems and issue progress notifications to internal and external recipients at key stages. This approach ensures robust security and maintains operational efficiency and regulatory compliance in access management.
