Governance, Ownership & Risk

Who should own reconciliation when identity changes happen at the edge?

← Back to all FAQ
By NHI Mgmt Group Editorial Team Updated June 7, 2026 Domain: Governance, Ownership & Risk

Identity reconciliation at the edge should be owned by the same governance function that owns authoritative identity records, with clear validation and conflict-handling procedures. Local changes must be reviewed, logged, and synchronized back to the enterprise source of truth. Without defined ownership, disconnected operation creates drift that becomes hard to unwind after recovery.
