reasons AD360 covers more identity ground for NHS data security and protection toolkit
Automates provisioning from day one
Netwrix Identity Manager relies on workflow-based provisioning. AD360 provides template-driven, rule-based identity creation by role, OU, or department—ensuring consistency across NHS environments and aligning with NHS data security and protection toolkit policies.
Simplifies deprovisioning to prevent NHS GDPR breaches
AD360 automatically disables or removes inactive and departed user accounts. This reduces the risk of orphaned accounts, supporting NHS DSPT controls and minimising NHS GDPR breach exposure.
Empower users through self-service
While Netwrix Identity Manager requires admin-driven workflows, AD360 enables password resets, account unlocks, and directory updates via self-service—helping reduce help desk load and aligning with cybersecurity for NHS initiatives.
Built-in access reviews and delegation for NHS audit requirements
UAD360 supports role-based access control (RBAC) and periodic access reviews out of the box. NHS trusts can delegate provisioning to HR or service desks, helping decentralise IAM while staying aligned with NHS audit requirements.
Delivers NHS-ready, audit-friendly reporting
With more than 200 built-in reports, AD360 addresses identity changes, login patterns, and role assignments. Reports are mapped to NHS information governance toolkit, ISO 27001, the GDPR, and NHS data breach reporting requirements.
Flexible licensing that fits NHS budgets and the NCSC Cyber Essentials
AD360’s accommodating licensing helps NHS organisations pay only for what they use. Start with provisioning, add MFA or auditing later. This is ideal for procurement-sensitive NHS IT teams aiming to meet Cyber Essentials NHS goals affordably.
