The Challenge
As the IT service provider for highly sensitive banking environments, FI-TS needed to ensure that access to systems and software was tightly controlled and recertified regularly. With increasing governance demands, the organization sought to modernize its recertification model to improve auditability, increase transparency, and better cover all relevant user and role types.
The goal was to:
- Replace Excel-based semi-annual recertifications with a more scalable approach
- Improve traceability and auditability
- Increase role-level transparency
- Cover personal, technical, exclusive, and twin roles more consistently
- Better support internal governance and MaRisk-related requirements
The Approach
How FI-TS moved from manual recertification processes to a structured, integrated governance model with NEXIS.
FI-TS defined the need for fuller auditability, stronger role-level transparency, and broader user-type coverage within its recertification process.
Working with TIMETOACT GROUP, FI-TS implemented NEXIS as a web-based recertification solution built on a universal data model. The platform enables granular configuration in the user interface and supports workflow-driven approvals.
The solution integrates with Garancy IAM by Beta Systems through nightly exports delivering up-to-date data on users, roles, organizational structures, responsible managers, twin roles, and HPU-based entitlement constructs. Systems outside the core IAG suite also feed account and rights data into the platform.
NEXIS consolidates data from connected systems and routes recertification tasks to the correct approvers to support a more consistent review process.
The Results
The implementation gave FI-TS a more integrated and auditable recertification model. It replaced a manual, Excel-based process with a structured platform approach better suited to regulated governance requirements.
- Better alignment with internal governance policies and MaRisk-related requirements
- Completeness supported through a two-tier role model based on business and component roles
- Real-time role status through continuous synchronization with the IAG environment rather than cut-off-based review cycles
- Improved audit trail and manager experience
- Stronger foundation for future role modeling and governance automation
