tenfold Case Study:
PKE

tenfold was then gradually rolled out to all divisions. After a brief training session, data controllers were able to make changes to access rights within their own areas of responsibility using the tenfold web interface. tenfold manages any technical details, such as the underlying AGDLP group structure, automatically in the background. Today, tenfold handles nearly all changes made to access rights throughout the corporation in a transparent and comprehensible manner.

In terms of saving time, great achievements were made particularly with regard to access rights reports. In a matter of seconds, data managers are able to obtain intelligible reports on which employees have access to their data. This type of data review, which in tenfold is called the “Recertification” process, will soon be mandatory at 6-month intervals.

tenfold furthermore holds great potential in terms of improving IT security: “Ever since we started using tenfold, managing file server permissions has become both easier and more efficient. As one of many investments in the IT security of our company, it has helped us ensure that privileges are assigned correctly,“ says André Titz, who is responsible for the operation of tenfold at PKE Holding AG.

The next step will be to get tenfold to model the user lifecycle process, also known as “JML” or “Joiner-Mover-Leaver-Process“. This means that tenfold will document closely whenever a person joins or leaves the company or changes departments, and these processes will become standardized and automated. Titz looks to the future optimistically: “Because of the software’s intuitive and well-structured admin interface, it required little effort on our side to tailor the system to our needs. Once we have implemented the next steps, I am positive that our daily routines and IT lives in general will become more secure and more efficient.”
