Access Governance

Access Governance with NEXIS 4

Automated, Risk-Aware Access Control Across Hybrid and Regulated Environments

Why Access Governance Needs a New Approach

Hybrid IT, SaaS sprawl, and expanding regulations like GDPR, NIS2, DORA, SOX or BAIT have raised the stakes for access governance. Traditional methods, like campaign-based recertifications, email-driven approvals and static spreadsheets, no longer scale and fail to deliver audit-ready results.

NEXIS replaces fragmented access control with continuous, data-driven governance. The platform combines analytics, explainable AI and governance workflows into a zero-code environment that integrates seamlessly with existing IGA and IAM stacks.

Automated Access Reviews: From Manual Campaigns to Continuous, Audit-Ready Governance

Static review campaigns are slow, error-prone and hard to scale. NEXIS automates access reviews across roles, accounts and entitlements, making them repeatable, risk-based and compliant by design.

Instead of working through raw tables, reviewers interact with intuitive identity grids. Our explainable AI assistant NICO (NEXIS Intelligent Co-Pilot) highlights anomalies, peer deviations and toxic combinations and offers traceable recommendations for approval or removal.

Core Capabilities

Automated recertifications and access reviews across roles, accounts and system entitlements
Risk-based views with clear insight into who has access, where, and why

Identity and role analytics to identify excessive privileges and authorization outliers

Integrated Segregation of Duties (SoD) conflict checks and data quality validations in one view

Compliant Recertifications: Standardized, Risk-Aware and Aligned with Real Entitlements

NEXIS turns recertifications into structured, scalable processes that fit any IAM landscape. Periodic and event-based reviews are managed through configurable workflows with embedded risk checks and policy alignment throughout.

Recertifications are aligned with live system entitlements through IAM Governance Docs. These template-based documents ensure that what’s implemented matches what’s approved with full audit traceability.

Core Capabilities

Time- and event-triggered recertifications for roles, permissions and user accounts
Preconfigured governance workflows, fully adaptable via drag & drop

Automated review paths with reminders, escalations and approval logic

Integrated SoD checks and risk validation at every review stage

MS Teams Integration: Access Approvals Embedded in Daily Collaboration

E-mail-based approvals are slow and easily overlooked. NEXIS integrates access reviews directly into Microsoft Teams – bringing decisions into the tools people use every day.

Managers and application owners receive review tasks where daily collaboration already happens. This shortens lead times, reduces reminder traffic and increases completion rates of time-critical access reviews.

Core Capabilities

Access approvals and review tasks delivered via Teams channels
Fully mobile-enabled: no need to switch to external portals

One-click approve/reject actions for recertifications, requests and tasks

All approvals remain tracked and documented in NEXIS and the connected IGA/IAM platform

Approval and Delegation Workflows: Scalable Decision Flows with Built-In Accountability

Beyond recertifications, access governance involves a broad range of decisions from access requests to entitlement changes and exception handling. NEXIS enables structured, scalable workflows that bring clarity and speed to complex approval chains.

Approvals can be routed dynamically based on organizational roles, risk levels or policy context. Application owners and subject matter experts handle decisions directly, without burdening central teams. Every step is traceable and policy-aware.

Core Capabilities

Graphical workflow engine with preconfigured process templates
Configurable approval chains across business, IT and compliance roles

Time- and event-based triggers (e.g. joiner, policy violation, risk flag)

Built-in SoD and policy validation for compliant routing

Delegation and reassignment features to avoid bottlenecks

NEXIS is data cleansing made easy. In a well-structured and transparent way, NEXIS automatically detected accounts with outdated or disproportionate access rights. After their removal you will be in a position to identify roles and automate the management of access rights. It has made a substantial impact on the system security.
