Third Party / External Identity Management: FAQs
What is third-party governance?
Third-party governance involves the processes and controls an organization uses to manage its relationships with external parties such as vendors, suppliers, and service providers.
It's critical to ensure that these outsiders don't introduce any security issues and vulnerabilities. For instance, when a freelancer is onboarded into the system, they are not given access to sensitive data that is not needed in their day-to-day work.
To do this, third-party governance and risk management solutions must be in place.
Effective third-party management/governance requires carefully assessing relationships and implementing appropriate controls to mitigate external risks. This may include conducting due diligence on potential third-party partners, negotiating contracts, clearly defining responsibilities and performance expectations, and monitoring third-party partners closely.
Third-party identity management (TPIM) is a vital part of governance. This involves managing the lifecycle of third-party accounts, including onboarding, provisioning, access management, and offboarding. It also uses authorization and authentication technologies, like multi-factor authentication (MFA), to lessen the risk of hackers compromising the system through third-party accounts.
Why is external identity security important for business?
Applying rigorous identity security & governance to your external and third-party users is a critical step in mitigating risks of a cyber attack or compliance violation.
As organizations rely on outside partners, suppliers and contractors to perform critical functions, they also open the door to increased risk for companies of unauthorized access to sensitive data or systems that could be compromised.
The problem is that third parties accessing your system are beyond your control. They can easily share their credentials (willingly or accidentally) with hackers, who can then gain entry into your system.
External identity management can't prevent this from happening. However, it can prevent the hacker from doing more damage by limiting where they can move inside the network. You can also terminate the account, rendering it useless to the attacker.
In short, ensuring proper third-party access governance will protect your company from potential breaches while helping you stay ahead of the competition.
What are the benefits of external identity management?
External identity management can increase security, simplify compliance, and can help reduce operational headaches. By mitigating the impact of a data breach, organizations can minimize remediation expenses, such as data recovery, legal fees, and reputation damage.
External identity governance also helps companies improve visibility of all the access in your organization, as well what is being done with that access. This improved visibility improves companies' ability to comply with data privacy regulations, such as General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
Furthermore, third-party access governance sets clear expectations and mutual trust with all of your B2B relationships partners, helping build stronger relationships, while reducing the burden on your IAM team.
What are common challenges in external identity access control?
Strengthening secure access is perhaps the key challenge with third-party access control. Companies have minimal control over how external third-parties protect their login credentials—and no guarantee they can access your network from a secure workstation.
Thus, credentials must be regularly rotated and supported with other methods like MFA to boost security.
Monitoring third parties access is critical but time-consuming work. Unfortunately, not doing this exposes you to risks you may not be aware of, and if you do detect something suspicious, you need a way to enforce immediate action.
Saviynt helps resolve these issues with robust risk assessment during onboarding, data protection, continuous monitoring, privileged access management and seamless third-party access without a VPN.
