Varonis DataPrivilege

Varonis DataPrivilege is an automated data access governance and entitlement management solution engineered to empower business data owners to manage, review, and approve data access requests directly, eliminating the bottleneck of relying on IT helpdesks. By establishing self-service access request workflows and scheduled entitlement reviews, it ensures that access to sensitive enterprise folders and SharePoint sites remains aligned with business necessity and least-privilege principles.

The platform deploys across enterprise IT infrastructures, integrating natively with Windows file servers, NAS appliances, Microsoft SharePoint, and Active Directory. It interfaces seamlessly with Varonis DatAdvantage to utilize bi-directional permission maps and actual file access history, presenting business data owners with actionable context when reviewing user requests. Common operational use cases include automating user folder access requests, conducting periodic manager entitlement re-certifications, managing security group memberships, and establishing automated expiration dates for temporary project access.

Featuring automated notification workflows and an intuitive web self-service portal, Varonis DataPrivilege shifts the burden of access governance to the business stakeholders who understand data value best. IT administrators retain policy oversight while eliminating thousands of repetitive access request tickets each year. Compliance and audit teams gain complete, auditable approval trails detailing who requested access, who authorized it, and when access was revoked. The platform streamlines access administration, reduces IT support overhead, and enforces rigorous least-privilege data governance.
