Processes have grown over the years, systems have been added to, responsibilities have shifted, usually without a consistent concept. Rights are assigned manually, Excel lists are maintained, e-mails are sent back and forth. And transparency about who actually has access to what? Not at all.    <\/p>\n<p>Things get particularly tricky when roles change. Employees change departments, take on new tasks or leave the company altogether. External service providers join for specific projects and then leave again. The problem: access rights often remain in place for much longer than they should. Simply because no one has an overview or feels responsible.    <\/p>\n<p>There is also a structural communication problem. IT and specialist departments often do not speak the same language. While the IT department manages systems and technical processes, the specialist departments decide on specialist access. Without clearly defined workflows and regular coordination, this is precisely where the gaps arise that are exploited in the worst cases.   <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-4 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-3 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"--awb-text-color:var(--awb-color3);--awb-margin-top:40px;--awb-margin-bottom:0px;--awb-margin-top-small:10px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:10px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;--awb-font-size:var(--awb-typography2-font-size);\"><h2 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left sm-text-align-center fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;letter-spacing:-1px;font-size:1em;--fontSize:30;line-height:var(--awb-typography2-line-height);\"><h2><strong>What the studies really say<\/strong><\/h2><\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\" style=\"--awb-font-size:17px;--awb-margin-top:0px;\"><p>There are many striking figures circulating in the discussion about security incidents.

Specialist managers check whether employees still need the authorizations they currently have. This prevents outdated rights from remaining in place and security gaps from arising. An interval of between three and six months is recommended, depending on the protection requirements of the systems.   <\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default panel-b1d22f5efc5593c2b fusion-toggle-no-divider fusion-toggle-boxed-mode\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><div class=\"panel-title toggle\" id=\"toggle_b1d22f5efc5593c2b\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"b1d22f5efc5593c2b\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-7731-1\" data-target=\"#b1d22f5efc5593c2b\" href=\"#b1d22f5efc5593c2b\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon fa-angle-down fas\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon fa-angle-right fas\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">Who is responsible for recertification - IT or the specialist department?<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><div id=\"b1d22f5efc5593c2b\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"toggle_b1d22f5efc5593c2b\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\">The responsibility lies with the specialist departments, not with IT.
