Entitlements

Entitlements solutions enable fine-grained control over access to information assets.

Assigning user entitlements and applying them to achieve fine-grained control over access to enterprise applications and data can be a complex and costly undertaking. Yet regulatory requirements, as well as the potential financial and reputational impact, continually raise the stakes for failure to adequately manage access to information assets. Our Entitlements practice develops solutions for enterprises to ensure that entitlements can be effectively managed and applied.

Controlling user access to specific functions and data within applications—i.e., fine-grained access control—is often implemented on an application-by-application basis. Each application has its own user classifications, its own access policy model and its own implementation of algorithms for applying the policies to users to permit or deny access. As the number of such applications grows within an enterprise, managing the access rights of individual users across multiple applications becomes an increasingly unwieldy and inefficient process.

A more efficient approach employs a solution for fine-grained access control that is based on standardized roles or other user classifications and which can be leveraged across multiple applications. But introducing such a solution can be a daunting task—not just from a technology implementation standpoint, but also with respect to the development of a robust and flexible policy model and the definition and assignment of standardized user classifications.

aurionPro SENA has extensive experience in designing and deploying solutions for fine-grained entitlements that can be leveraged across multiple applications. Members of our senior management were involved with the very first solutions developed in the financial services industry. We have helped a number of clients identify requirements, evaluate products and design, and develop and customize implementations. Our engineers and architects have received advanced training from vendors and have extensively utilized the products in POC/live deployments for customers and in developing custom solutions in our engineering lab.
