Lepide Data Access Governance Software provides visibility and control over access to sensitive data across cloud and on-premises environments. The solution discovers sensitive data across unstructured data sources and consolidates findings into a centralized view with filtering and grouping capabilities based on file types, access rights, data owners, and sensitivity levels. The platform analyzes effective permissions by examining direct, inherited, and group-based permissions across files, folders, and systems. Visual permission maps trace access down to the object level, while real-time auditing tracks permission changes and identifies who made modifications. The software identifies over-permissioned users by analyzing effective permissions and user behavior to determine access requirements. It includes AI-driven least privilege automation for remediation and allows delegation of remediation decisions to team managers within the platform. Continuous monitoring tracks changes to permissions, file access, group memberships, and user activity. Real-time alerts notify security teams of unusual or unauthorized access, including privilege escalations, abnormal file access patterns, and sudden permission changes. The solution maintains detailed audit logs for historical access reviews and compliance validation. The platform supports compliance requirements for GDPR, HIPAA, SOX, and ISO standards. It provides reporting capabilities for compliance teams and protects regulated data types including PHI, PII, and student data.
