IRDAI Compliance
Recent IRDAI guidelines for insurance companies and brokerage houses suggest a stifling amount of control over Identity and Access related security. The only way to fully comply with these mandates is to adopt a solution like CI.
Here are some IRDAI mandates that were published and how CI can help you comply:
- An insurance organization or brokerage house must supplement passwords (e.g. by using strong authentication such as smartcards, biometrics, or tokens), if and when necessary. To supplement passwords, our product offers multifactor authentication. It even offers adaptive multifactor and passwordless authentication using biometrics.
- Access must be reviewed periodically. CI includes an Access Certification module which is perfect for periodic access reviews.
- Organizations must maintain a repository of all users including third parties. CI even comes with a Universal Directory! You need not purchase any other directory: it is included in our base product.
- All users shall be authenticated at a minimum by using User IDs and passwords before they can gain access to target systems to prevent unauthorized access to the Organization’s information assets. CI acts as the centralized authentication gateway (Identity/Authentication Provider) for users’ access. When a user is trying to access any application, CI forces them to perform authentication (with a password or Passwordless, based on authentication policies) and only then gives access to the application.
- Access shall be timely revoked when users exit the organization. In CI, the Users’ access to various applications and systems will be terminated immediately and automatically when users are suspended or terminated.
- Generic User-Ids/Service IDs shall be avoided and where no alternative exists, they shall be controlled and authorized by the Business/Asset Owner to avoid misuse and compromise of user accountability. CI enables organizations to manage generic user IDs and service IDs. Once aggregated/reconciled, the access information from the target application and systems can be assigned these types of access to User Identity. Also, through an Account Review process, organizations can ensure that this access is in line with the business requirements.
Foreign Quality at an Indian Price
We Indians always like a bargain but are also becoming more quality conscious. CI satisfies both. It is the most inexpensive IAM product on the market by a wide margin and offers the best ROI. But it is also an extremely powerful and streamlined product with features that other vendors have yet to offer.
