What is Identity and Access Management (IAM)?
IAM is a framework of policies, processes, and technologies that manages digital identities and controls user access to systems and data.
Identity and Access Management encompasses the policies, processes, and technologies for managing digital identities and controlling access to organizational resources. For privacy compliance, IAM ensures that only authorized individuals can access personal data, supporting the security requirements of GDPR Article 32 and equivalent provisions in other regulations.
Effective IAM includes identity lifecycle management, multi-factor authentication, single sign-on, privilege management, and access certification. ProtectIQ integrates with IAM systems to enforce data-level access controls based on authenticated identity and role assignments.

Access Control
Access control restricts who can view, modify, or delete data based on identity, role, and authorization policies, ensuring only authorized personnel access personal data.
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
RBAC restricts system access based on user roles within an organization, granting permissions to roles rather than individual users.
Zero Trust Architecture
Zero trust architecture eliminates implicit trust in any network element, requiring continuous verification of every user, device, and connection before granting access.
