Protect is a CAM pillar. It lets you manage users and groups across systems.
Protect is the CAM pillar that enables you to manage users and groups across systems, including roles, permissions and restrictions, and apply Zero-Trust policies across collaboration systems.
CAM enables provisioning and data protection across collaboration systems. It allows end users to save data in the right place, providing rich metadata to understand the context and enhancing the risk team’s ability to apply privacy and security policies automatically.
Updating security and permissions for each project is prone to human error and time-consuming. Inappropriate access can result in users not complying with policies or client requirements, especially if you work with external users with access rights in Teams. CAM enables automatic access across systems, incorporated with Teams, enabling organizations to set and update security from one platform and apply that to all other collaboration systems.
With CAM, organizations can limit access to files and data on a need-to-know basis. Users start with the lowest access privilege level and are added to projects as needed. This reduces the number of users with access to specific files or matters, limiting the possibility of hackers gaining access or internal users working with data inappropriately.
Over the lifecycle of a matter, many users will be added or removed as their involvement or roles in the matter change or end. Often when a user leaves a matter team to work on other projects, their permissions are not removed. To keep up with who needs to view and work on specific projects and when their access begins and ends, CAM enables organizations to recertify access permissions regularly. CAM can help audit and report who has and who needs access to the matters, then help organizations secure those matters appropriately by adding those who need access and removing those who don’t.
When a user leaves an organization or changes departments, CAM ensures that user permissions are removed from every single document they had access to on the organization’s Access Control List (ACL) through ISO 27001. Having users who have left the organization on ACLs for sites, workspaces or documents can open it up to further risk. A bad actor might reactivate a user’s account to gain access to content. Removing users from ACLs prevents this from happening.
Since 90% of data incidents involve human error, organizations need to be aware of the data their users are accessing and how they interact with it. With CAM, organizations can run frequent analytics reports to monitor user activity. These reports allow them to monitor abnormal activity, such as users deleting documents, moving files and folders, downloading too many files, and more.
