}Quick Answer
Access Review Workflow is a workflow template that quarterly access reviews are a compliance requirement for soc 2, iso 27001, and most security frameworks.
Why This Workflow?
Quarterly access reviews are a compliance requirement for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and most security frameworks. Without a structured workflow, organizations risk audit failures, orphaned accounts, and separation of duties violations. This workflow automates the certification process, ensuring managers review and approve user access before deadlines.
How It Works
- Step 1: The workflow begins with a scheduled trigger that pulls the current user access list from your identity provider (Okta, Azure AD, etc.).
- Step 2: Each manager receives a certification request for their direct reports, with a clear deadline and escalation path.
- Step 3: The system automatically flags separation of duties (SoD) violations—for example, a user with both "approve payments" and "create vendors" permissions.
- Step 4: Managers certify, revoke, or escalate each access right. Revocations are automatically synced back to the identity provider.
- Step 5: A compliance report is generated for auditors, showing certification rates, remediation timelines, and any exceptions.
Alternatives
Manual access reviews using spreadsheets typically take 2-4 weeks and have a 15-30% error rate. Dedicated GRC tools like SailPoint or Saviynt cost $50K+/year. This FlowZap workflow provides a visual, auditable process that integrates with your existing identity stack at a fraction of the cost.
