User access reviews that pass your exam.

A user access review (UAR) is the regular check that every employee has only the access their role requires. Provision turns that check from a manual, error-prone scramble into one clear, scheduled, documented workflow, with proof on every decision.

Why manual reviews fall short

A spreadsheet is stale the moment you export it.

A spreadsheet review is out of date the moment you export it. It cannot prove that a flagged item was fixed. And it consumes days of staff time per cycle. Examiners now expect more frequent, evidence-backed reviews, including service, vendor, and administrative accounts, and manual work struggles to keep pace.

Out of date instantly

A spreadsheet snapshot is wrong by the time you finish reviewing it, access keeps changing underneath you.

No proof of remediation

You can flag a problem, but you can't show the examiner it was actually fixed, and when.

Days of staff time

Chasing department heads and reconciling exports eats days every cycle, and still leaves gaps.

How Provision does it

Scheduled, scoped, and closed with proof.

Reviewers certify or revoke with one click, right next to the risk level, the originating system, and the full access history. Every decision is time-stamped, attributed, and audit-ready.

Defensible reviews, far less preparation time, and an evidence package ready before the examiner asks.

Manual today, policy-driven when you are ready. In the Insight tier you run these reviews yourself. In Govern, the same reviews become policy-driven, generated from your RBAC policy across identities and entitlements, so each cycle gets lighter as you mature.Start with Insight →
Questions

Access reviews, answered.

How often should we run access reviews?
Most institutions run them quarterly or twice a year, and more often for privileged, service, and vendor accounts. Provision lets you schedule each one independently.
What is the difference between a user access review and an entitlement review?
A user access review confirms a person should have access to a system. An entitlement review confirms the specific permissions inside it are appropriate. Provision supports both.
