A secure password vault further protects sensitive access credentials by automatically injecting passwords, preventing any exposure to external third parties. This feature is in alignment with article 4.1.3 which consists of securing login information.
This comprehensive approach to remote access security strengthens protection across all connections and resources, providing users with secure and efficient access experience.
> Workflows and Advanced traceability
According to Tisax’s article 4.2.1, access rights should be properly managed. In this regard, cyberelements incorporates structured workflows for access authorization, ensuring that each access request follows a defined approval process.
Article 5.2.6 requires organization to have the necessary tools for regular audits and article 6.1.1 demands monitoring and review of suppliers’ services. In this context, advanced traceability features of cyberelements include comprehensive session recording, capturing detailed activity audit trails for every session. Additionally, a powerful search engine allows for easy retrieval and review of recorded sessions, providing full visibility and control over access history and ensuring compliance with security standards.
