When I joined Approva, I figured my ranting would be contained to some whitepapers and customer visits. Little did I know that we would create a video providing a brief history of user provisioning. To think that this little chat on the efficiency drivers of identity management and user provisioning would be clogging up the tubes that make up the interweb… it is truly amazing. I tried to boil down user provisioning to its most simple form by describing the process of user lifecycle management from the employee’s perspective. Consider this a primer for user provisioning. Later this week we launch a three part series on compliant provisioning and some of the pitfalls for those who don’t implement it.

We couldn’t very well have a birthday celebration and personalized song without a music video exclusive of the Singing CPA, could we? We clearly cannot get enough of the song – and the video below needs no explanation. We think it’s worth an email or IM to a friend – as everyone could use a reminder of the fateful day they turned five. Come on, admit it – you know you are going to run home and break out those old home movies of your 5th Birthday Party.

Do you remember where you were on July 30th, 2002? Alright, perhaps the 5th anniversary of Sarbanes-Oxley isn’t as historic as other dates that are etched in memory. But there’s no doubt that SOX was a watershed event that has forever changed the way business gets done. In fact, it’s not overstating things to say that the accounting scandals and corporate collapses that led up to SOX fundamentally changed the psyche of an entire nation. Just think about how your day-to-day job has changed over the last five years.
When I look back at the last five years I never could have imagined that governance, risk and compliance (GRC) would slingshot from nowhere to one of the top priorities on the agenda of CFOs, CIOs, boards and auditors. But it was always clear to me at the time that we were living through a paradigm shift.
Audit Trail recently caught up with me to discuss where we’ve come over the past five years. Watch the interview and share your comments below.
