Key challenges > Standing privileges & password sharing
The problem explained
When standing access becomes the norm
In many industrial and IT/OT environments, access rights evolve over time rather than by design. Standing privileges, shared logins, and manual approvals make it increasingly difficult to assign access clearly to individuals. What may feel pragmatic in day-to-day operations quickly becomes a risk for security, compliance, and liability.
se.MIS™ brings access under control through comprehensive, Zero-Trust-based access management: role-based, purpose-bound, time-limited & fully traceable.
Typical access management often looks like this:
- Standing access instead of time-limited approvals
- Shared user accounts & passwords
- Little visibility into existing permissions, including access retained by former employees
What uncontrolled access puts at risk:
- No clear traceability of responsibility & actions when incidents occur
- Loss of control over critical access
- Increased liability and compliance risk
