User Access Reviews (UARs) are a critical safeguard in modern cybersecurity, ensuring employees, contractors, and third parties only retain access to the systems and data necessary for their roles. Traditionally, however, UARs have been manual, time-consuming, and error-prone—relying on spreadsheets, emails, and human oversight. These outdated approaches not only create inefficiencies but also expose organizations to compliance violations, security gaps, and audit failures.

Why Traditional UARs Fall Short

Manual methods suffer from four major issues:

• Human error that leads to oversight, such as failing to revoke access for terminated employees.
• Delays and inefficiencies that slow reviews and increase audit failures.
• Lack of visibility, leaving orphaned accounts and excessive privileges undetected.
• Compliance risks, exposing organizations to fines, reputational damage, and potential data breaches.

Clarity Security’s Game-Changing Approach

To eliminate these risks, Clarity Security introduces 10-Minute User Access Reviews, powered by machine learning and automation. By streamlining every step of the review process, Clarity reduces review time from weeks to minutes while delivering scalability, accuracy, and audit-readiness.

Key Benefits of Clarity’s 10-Minute UARs

1. Risk Prioritization at Scale – Identifies and surfaces the top 1–5% of high-risk entitlements for immediate review.
2. Automated Evidence Collection – Maintains a real-time record of access changes, eliminating the need for screenshots and manual audit tracking.
3. End-to-End Workflow Automation – Automates initiation, review, approval, and remediation to ensure consistent, error-free processes.
4. Comprehensive Reporting – Delivers 12 types of review formats, historical reporting, and audit-ready documentation.

Why It Matters

If UARs are too complex, they’re done poorly or skipped altogether, weakening compliance and security posture. Clarity solves this by making reviews simple, repeatable, and scalable, enabling organizations to:

• Strengthen least privilege enforcement.
• Improve audit outcomes.
• Reduce operational costs and security risks.

With Clarity’s machine learning-driven platform, organizations can transform access reviews from a compliance burden into a strategic enabler of security and efficiency.
