Building reporting and remediation tooling to help identify inappropriate access rights, track remediation progress and support bulk access corrections across multiple regions.
Sector: Financial data / enterprise governance
Context: Standard & Poor’s (S&P)
Capability area: Access control, data governance, reporting dashboards, remediation workflow
Challenge
Standard and Poors had access-control inconsistencies across EMEA and LATAM. Some users had access to resources they should not have had, while others lacked access they required. This created governance, security and operational risk.
Delivery contribution
A custom reporting and remediation system was developed around Varonis and SQL Server data. The system produced daily dashboards and remediation reports that helped data management teams identify inappropriate access, contact relevant users or owners, and support bulk revocation where required.
Complexity
The challenge involved large volumes of access-control data, regional complexity, sensitive permissions, reporting accuracy and the need to make remediation actionable for business teams rather than purely technical administrators.
Outcome
The solution improved visibility over access issues and supported structured remediation across multiple regions. It converted raw access-control insight into operational dashboards and action lists, helping data management teams coordinate remediation activity across EMEA and LATAM.
Relevance to Governement Delivery
Government departments and agencies often need to control who can access citizen records, case files, payment data, approvals, internal memos and sensitive operational systems.
This experience is relevant to MDA environments where leaders need clear visibility of access risk, remediation progress, ownership, audit trails and governance controls.
