User Access Reviews Are How FFIEC Expects Least Privilege to Be Maintained

FFIEC guidance emphasizes periodic review and validation of user access based on risk.

In practice, most community banks complete user access reviews across core systems, Active Directory, and applications.

The challenge is not completion.

It is whether reviewers understand what they are approving.

Core banking permissions, AD group memberships, and application access are often reviewed in isolation, without full context.

SecurEnds delivers user access reviews by:

• Aggregating access across core banking, AD, and connected systems
• Presenting user, role, entitlements, and business context in one place
• Enabling reviewers to make approve/revoke decisions with clarity

This aligns access reviews with FFIEC expectations by making them informed and defensible.

Fixing Access Reviews in Core Banking Systems

Most community banks are still running access reviews for core systems through spreadsheets, static reports, and manual validation. It works—but it creates gaps, inconsistencies, and audit risk.

This short video shows how SecurEnds brings structure and automation to access reviews across core platforms like Jack Henry, Fiserv, and FIS—helping banks move from manual effort to consistent, audit-ready governance.
