Additionally today's solutions give you perpetual access to data creating an environment ripe for Cyberattacks. With Codified, a cloud SaaS service - you connect all of your data to us and then it's as simple as writing - "Support Engineers only have access to Customer Data when a support ticket is assigned to them for a duration of 8 hour" & we take care of the rest. We solve the problem around writing and implementing by bridging this gap reducing operational costs, because you can easily change policies - you increase productivity of the company. We manage the lifecycle of the access ensuring that you have the best possible security posture for data access.
