Omada Compliance Reporting Center

 

Omada Compliance Reporting Center delivers enterprise-ready reports to demonstrate compliance with regulatory legislation within the areas of identity and access management...

 

Stricter regulatory legislation and the need to meet auditors’ requirements are placing a greater demand for detailed reporting on IT systems.

Omada Compliance Reporting Center helps you prepare easily for audits with enterprise-ready reporting based on governance policies, enterprise roles, and provisioning data. The reports support managers in their assessment of the organization’s regulatory compliance status at any given time.

The Compliance Reporting Center lets you easily report on identity and access management data from Microsoft Identity Manager 2007, Forefront Identity Manager (formerly ILM “2”) and target systems such as SAP and SharePoint.

Omada Compliance Reporting Center is both available for organizations running their Omada Identity Management enterprise solution based on Microsoft Identity Lifecycle Manager 2007, and for beta customers implementing Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager 2010.

Compliance - Business Challenges

 

As regulatory legislation becomes stricter, auditors continue to seek more details about access policies and user permissions. Compliance is a challenge to organizations with limited visibility of user permissions across their complex IT infrastructure.

 Challenges of achieving compliance are:
        •      Preparing for periodic audits, which involves many people, is time-consuming and costly
        •      Collecting and gathering identity and access information across all IT systems with no efficient process
        •      Delivering the required compliance reports for business users and auditors, which becomes increasingly 
                difficult with the ever-changing legislative requirements
        •      Tracking and reporting on changes to access management policies and user permissions, which is a 
                complex task
