Application access governance are the processes and procedures a company implements to manage and monitor the access that employees, contractors, partners, and third-party service providers have to its applications.. The goal of an application access governance system is to ensure that only authorized individuals have access to specific applications and data. It grants these privileges based on the person’s job responsibilities, level of authority, risk factors, and other relevant criteria. Implementing application user access management requires a collection of tools and technologies working together. This includes authentication and authorization protocols, data protection technology like encryption, identity and access management (IAM) platforms, and periodic access review.
