Lightbeam PrivilegeIQ: Automate Open Access Removal Across SharePoint, OneDrive & File Shares
See Lightbeam PrivilegeIQ in action. Automatically detect broad open permissions, remove unnecessary access for inactive users, and preserve it for active ones, with a full audit trail. Zero Standing Privilege for sensitive data, without disrupting your team.
Transcript
Every organization has a least privilege policy.
Almost none enforce it continuously.
Open access accumulates quietly.
Folders shared with everyone in the domain, permissions inherited from
parent directories, entitlements that outlive the projects they were created
for. The result is broad, always-on access to sensitive
data, invisible until a breach, an audit, or an AI rollout
forces the question. This is Lightbeam Privilege IQ.
Under Governance, you get a curated view of every folder with
open access at any level of the hierarchy, from the root
folder down to the deepest subfolder.
From here, you can run a remediation action on a single folder,
a branch of the hierarchy, or the entire file share, including
all subfolders in one operation. The conditions for
remediation are straightforward.
You define the activity window, 30 days, 90, or
180.
Privilege IQ identifies every user who has accessed files within
that window. Those users keep their access.
Everyone else, the users who haven't touched the folder in months, has
their broad open access removed. Here's what that looks like at
scale. A folder accessible to 1,000 users.
Only 10 have been active in the last 30 days.
Privilege IQ provisions access for those 10 and removes it for the other
990. No manual list building, no risk of cutting off
someone who still needs it. The system does the work.
When you're ready, one click starts the remediation.
Privilege IQ works from the highest-level folder downward, using
inheritance wherever possible, minimizing the number of individual
permission changes, and keeping the active directory clean.
At the end of the process, this is what good looks like.
Counters at zero. No open access remaining.
Every folder either restricted or explicitly provisioned to the users who need
it, and every action is logged. When the operation ran,
how many folders were updated? How many users had their access removed?
How many were retained? That's your audit trail.
Timestamped, complete, and ready for compliance reviews without any manual
reconstruction.
Almost none enforce it continuously.
