Cl@ryFile is a solution that streamlines the process of granting access to file shares and provides improved visibility and control over NTFS ACLs. It eliminates manual intervention in the management process, reduces the risk of errors and security incidents, and enables IT security managers to monitor and validate access requests. The solution provides a way to keep track of who has access to what directories, generating reports and alerts to ensure compliance. With the implementation of a workflow validation process, access requests are reviewed and approved by the relevant authorities, ensuring that only authorized users have access to the desired files.

When a new user is brought on board or starts work on a project, they typically need access to file shares that were previously inaccessible. However, the process of granting these permissions is often lengthy, taking several days or even weeks to complete, due to the involvement of multiple parties and the manual updating of ACLs. This manual process can be prone to errors and security risks that could have serious consequences for the organization. Additionally, IT and security managers are often uncertain about the actual permissions and who has access to which directories.

Cl@ryFile offers a solution to these challenges by providing IT security managers with a way to keep track of who has access to specific directories and what directories a user has access to. It also generates differential reports with a compliance database and generates alerts in case of deviations. This helps eliminate all human interventions in the management of NTFS ACLs and implements WSWG on file shares, allowing users to only see the directories they have access to. The access request process is further streamlined through workflow validation, connecting users who request access directly with those responsible for approval.
