Information Security

Be confident in your user access controls across every system, change, and audit

Transform your systems’ cryptic, native permission data into a human-readable model your team can govern, review, and prove. When someone joins, moves, or leaves, your access changes are approved, provisioned, and logged for your next infosec audit.

WHAT PERMISSION ASSIST DOES

Three jobs Continuous takes off your team’s plate

Connect your application ecosystem with Permission Assist for streamlined identity and access management.

Centralized access visibility

See exactly who has access to what across Active Directory, core banking platforms, HRIS, SaaS apps, and more in a human-readable view.

Role governance & access standards

Define what the right access looks like. Composable, version-controlled access models empower you to standardize roles and manage risk, while Permission Assist tracks changes, understands why entitlements are allowed, flags deviations, and more.

Examiner-ready traceability

Full audit trails capture every request, approval, and change automatically, so your team can readily prove compliance with complete evidence.

THE CHALLENGE

Manual access management can’t
keep up with your institution

Banks and credit unions face access risk every day–from onboarding gaps to permission drift to audit scrambles. Meanwhile, regulators are increasing the number of reviews required and the systems in scope. Continuous lightens the load where infosec teams feel the most pressure.

01

You’re certifying access nobody can actually read.

Permission codes are cryptic, system-specific, and buried in 300-page manuals understood by maybe one or two people. Multiply that across every critical application your institution runs, and validation becomes a rubber stamp: signing off on access no one can fully interpret. You deserve to check the box and actually know it’s right.

02

Audit prep takes a lot of time and spreadsheets.

Without automatic audit trails, proving compliance means rebuilding records from scratch–pulling access data from multiple systems, reconciling it manually, and assembling a paper trail before every review.

03

Getting access right once isn’t enough.

Roles change, and yesterday’s correct setup quietly drifts out of compliance. The burden of proving you caught it–and controlled it–falls on you every time.

04

Access drifts even when you don’t touch it.

Every application release can introduce new, poorly documented privileges across your core, lending, and other vital systems. What was correctly configured yesterday can quietly drift over time, and the burden of proof falls on you.

HOW IT WORKS

Identity and access management with the context to act—and the proof to back it up

Permission Assist connects to the systems your institution runs and translates native permission data into one model, so you can keep access accurate, governed, and audit-ready without custom code, spreadsheets, or scrambling.
ACCESS MANAGEMENT

The right access for every role, updated as things change

When an employee joins, changes roles, or leaves, Permission Assist helps you update access across your application ecosystem based on role templates–supporting least privilege without slowing anyone down.

  • Simplify access change orchestration across your institution
  • Gain a clear understanding of when access needs to change
  • Know who has too much access, too little, or the right amount
AUDIT-READY TRACEABILITY

Every access change logged automatically, ready for any audit

Full audit trails capture every request, approval, and change, so your team enters every exam with the organized evidence already complete. 

  • Log every request, approval, and change automatically
  • Get proven, ready-to-use audit packages for clear, acceptable evidence
  • Avoid the audit prep scramble with one place for all your artifacts

CUSTOMER STORIES

What security leaders say when access management runs smoothly

Before Permission Assist, we didn’t have an efficient process to review all of our critical systems in a single platform. Now, it greatly reduces the amount of time it takes us to do a review. This platform is designed for the financial institution.
Ryan Goellner
Chief Information Officer • Gate City Bank
We know regulations are not going away. If reviewing applications is overwhelming and your company is growing, I would definitely recommend moving away from manual reviews. It only continues to become more efficient for us.
