14 Leveraging Your ITSM Platform to Address Regulatory Compliance (Webinar) Organizations across all industries face a dizzying array of regulatory compliance requirements related to access governance and controls. From tracking access requests and approvals, to running access recertification campaigns, to keeping audit logs of access changes, the ITSM team often bears the burden of these tasks. To address these needs, companies have looked to Identity and Access Management (IAM) platform vendors to provide solutions for regulatory compliance and reporting requirements. The ITSM team is involved in these IAM projects, but most often “handed” the new user management tool at the completion of the project. There is a better way, as evidenced by recent research and client success, where an ITSM-leveraged solution provides considerable value
