Permission Assist

Permission Assist is an identity governance and administration solution designed for banks and credit unions to manage user access and permissions across multiple systems. The product addresses access management challenges in financial institutions that operate legacy systems and need to comply with regulatory requirements. The solution provides periodic access reviews and generates audit artifacts for regulatory compliance with standards including FDICIA, NCUA, FFIEC, SOX, FDIC, and OCC. It tracks permission changes resulting from software upgrades, application replacements, and internal policy modifications. Permission Assist manages user provisioning workflows for employees joining, leaving, or changing roles within the organization. The system includes customizable workflows that allow conditional approval processes and quality checks based on risk profiles. The product integrates with various financial institution software systems and includes maintenance updates for integration changes. It provides documentation and artifacts that can be presented to regulators and external auditors. The solution is positioned as an alternative to manual processes involving spreadsheets and paper-based permission tracking systems. Implementation includes guidance on verification processes and checks to validate the accuracy of permission review results.
