Human Protection Controls

Beyond the digital identity of their team members, New Zealand organisations are also responsible for the digital identity of their customers. As the custodian of a customer’s identity, the organisation needs to create and enforce strong identity protection practices for the identities that are entrusted to them, and prevent them from being used maliciously by modern threat actors.

As part of Tesserent’s critical product controls, identity forms a key integration pillar along with other critical controls including web & e-mail. Shadow IT is a rapidly growing threat surface where ex-staff still have access to cloud & 3^rd party applications after they have ceased their period of employment with the organisation. This creates an ongoing risk of insider threat & data exfiltration. The ability to monitor for, and control the usage of, Shadow IT is key.

Tesserent delivers this capability with our curated critical product control partners who, individually, represent the industry’s market-defining technology controls and are backed by our onshore team of technical experts.
