Las campañas de certificación de acceso son un componente crítico de una solución robusta de gobernanza y administración de identidades (IGA). Estas soluciones garantizan que los derechos de acceso se revisen periódicamente y que los usuarios solo tengan los privilegios que necesitan para desempeñar sus funciones.
Estas campañas ayudan a las organizaciones a automatizar la gestión de acceso de los usuarios, mitigar los ataques relacionados con el acceso y demostrar el cumplimiento de las regulaciones de TI como el GDPR, PCI DSS, HIPAA y más.
La recertificación de acceso, desempeña un rol clave en el mantenimiento de la postura de seguridad y cumplimiento de una organización. Al revisar y revalidar periódicamente los privilegios de acceso de los usuarios, las organizaciones pueden garantizar que los empleados, contratistas o terceros solo conserven el acceso a los sistemas y datos necesarios para sus funciones.
La incorporación de la recertificación en las campañas de certificación de acceso permite adoptar un enfoque proactivo en la gestión de accesos, fortaleciendo así el marco general de seguridad de la organización.
El cumplimiento de las regulaciones, como el GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS y más, es esencial en el mundo actual basado en datos, donde las organizaciones dependen y generan datos en gran medida. El incumplimiento de estas regulaciones puede llevar a repercusiones legales como demandas y sanciones, así como aumentar el riesgo de violaciones de datos y ciberataques.
Prevenir el acceso no autorizado y proteger la información confidencial es un requisito vital establecido por los mandatos de TI, y las organizaciones deben establecer medidas y políticas que garanticen que las personas autorizadas tengan acceso a los recursos adecuados para garantizar la seguridad de sus redes. La recertificación de acceso ayuda a reforzar estas políticas, garantizando que solo las personas adecuadas tengan acceso a datos y sistemas sensibles.
La gestión de permisos de acceso para los empleados puede parecer sencilla, pero en realidad es una tarea desafiante. Es propensa a errores, consume mucho tiempo y puede aumentar los gastos administrativos. Por eso es esencial invertir en una solución confiable que no solo ayude a automatizar todo el proceso, sino que también facilite la auditoría a través de la certificación y la recertificación de acceso.
ADManager Plus es una solución de IGA que ofrece funciones de certificación de acceso a las organizaciones para agilizar sus métodos de control de acceso. Las campañas de certificación de acceso se pueden utilizar para asignar, recertificar y revocar los derechos de acceso de los usuarios e implementar el principio de mínimos privilegios, segregación de tareas y control de acceso basado en roles. Las organizaciones pueden implementar estos principios para frustrar los ataques de abuso de privilegios y salvaguardar sus redes.
Con las campañas de certificación de acceso en ADManager Plus, los derechos de acceso de los usuarios, como los permisos de NTFS o las funciones y aplicaciones de Microsoft 365, se pueden validar de forma masiva, lo que resulta en una mayor eficiencia operativa. Estos esfuerzos de certificación de acceso garantizan el cumplimiento continuo de los requisitos de auditoría interna y externa.
ADManager Plus también mejora la gestión del ciclo de vida mediante la automatización del aprovisionamiento de usuarios, la gestión de contraseñas y gestión de grupos, y proporcionando aprobaciones de los flujos de trabajo personalizados a varios niveles y notificaciones en tiempo real.

When reviewing access during certification campaigns, ADManager Plus goes a step further by offering smart access recommendations. These suggestions are based on peer comparison and behavioral baselines, helping reviewers quickly identify unusual or excessive permissions. With this, reviewers can:
ADManager Plus also offers a risk exposure management feature that can be used alongside access certification to strengthen an organization's overall AD security. This capability gives a clear view of an organization's AD threat landscape by helping admins visualize potential attack paths in their AD environment.
Here's how using risk exposure management and access certification together can enhance an organization's security posture:
This ensures that access reviews are not just routine checks, but strategic, risk-driven validations that strengthen overall security.
Ensuring proper access controls isn't just good practice—it's a requirement. Here's how leading compliance standards emphasize robust access management:

ADManager Plus Access Certification Campaigns provide a comprehensive solution for meeting the diverse compliance mandates outlined above through systematic access governance and automated review processes. These campaigns directly address regulatory requirements by enabling periodic validation of user access rights, ensuring that employees maintain only the permissions necessary for their current job functions while providing the documentation and oversight required by auditors and regulatory bodies.
The campaigns support compliance-mandated review frequencies across different standards—from PCI DSS's six-month cycles to NERC CIP's 15-month requirements—through flexible scheduling that can be configured to meet specific regulatory timelines. Designated approvers and reviewers validate access appropriateness, ensuring that required privileges are approved by authorized personnel as mandated by frameworks like PCI DSS and HIPAA. This systematic approach supports the principle of least privilege by identifying and removing excessive access rights during regular review cycles, directly addressing requirements from NIST CSF, FISMA, and ISO 27001.
For healthcare organizations subject to HIPAA, the campaigns ensure that workforce access to electronic protected health information is continuously validated and appropriately restricted. Financial institutions benefit from structured access rights administration that meets FFIEC guidelines and supports SOX internal control requirements with documented approval workflows and management oversight. Critical infrastructure operators can maintain compliance with NERC CIP standards through verified access authorization processes and mandated review cycles for personnel accessing sensitive energy systems.
The solution generates comprehensive audit trails and documentation that support compliance assessments across all frameworks, from SOX Section 404 internal control evaluations to ISO 27001 certification audits. Risk-based scheduling capabilities align with targeted risk analysis requirements found in PCI DSS and COBIT 2019, while management acknowledgment workflows ensure executive oversight of access decisions as required by multiple compliance standards.
By automating these traditionally manual processes, Access Certification Campaigns reduce compliance burden while strengthening security posture, enabling organizations to demonstrate regulatory adherence through systematic access governance, documented review processes, and comprehensive audit-ready reporting across multiple compliance frameworks simultaneously.
