What type of organizational control can be used to assess and certify a group of identities in SailPoint IdentityIQ?

Advanced certifications are a specific feature within SailPoint IdentityIQ that provides a structured approach to assess and certify identities based on predefined criteria and assumptions. This type of organizational control is pivotal as it ensures identities and their corresponding access rights are subject to a rigorous review process.

Advanced certifications are designed to evaluate the appropriateness of access to sensitive data and systems in a more comprehensive manner. They utilize the capabilities of IdentityIQ to incorporate automation and reporting, enabling organizations to effectively audit user entitlements and maintain compliance with various regulatory requirements.

While user entitlement reviews are an essential part of the identity governance process, they tend to be narrower in focus and do not encompass the same level of depth and automation that advanced certifications offer. Policy compliance assessments primarily focus on adherence to organizational policies, and the role-based access control model is more about the framework for granting access rather than assessing and certifying identities specifically.

Advanced certifications empower organizations to carry out more thorough evaluations, thus enhancing security and compliance by ensuring that only the appropriate individuals retain access to critical resources.
