Access review and audit log: proving who can access what

An access review compares the access someone actually has with the access their role should give, and an audit log records every grant and removal. KoppelHet does both with Joinly, which compares access in Microsoft Entra ID and Active Directory with the roles from the HR system and logs every change immutably.

What it is

An auditor asks the same questions every time. Why does this person have access to this system? Were leavers closed off on time? Where is it recorded when someone got access? Does actual access match intended access?

Without central access management, answering takes days of exports and screenshots. With an automated and logged process the evidence is already there.

How Joinly handles it

  • The access review shows the difference between actual and intended access, correctable per identity or in bulk.
  • The audit log records every change with actor, source and the old and new value.
  • Logs are stored immediately and cannot be changed afterwards.
  • You filter by employee, system or period.
  • Exports match audit reporting.
  • An audit dashboard and notifications show the relevant events.
  • Joinly deactivates accounts nobody uses any more automatically.

What KoppelHet does

The first access review is usually the baseline: the difference between HR and the directory. KoppelHet starts IAM projects with that comparison, so you see per employee what differs before anything happens automatically.

AFAS is the source for Active Directory and Entra ID. Accounts, email addresses and groups are created, updated and deactivated automatically based on HR changes.

“Thanks to KoppelHet's user comparison between the HR system and our AD, we quickly saw where AFAS and Microsoft differed.”

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an access evaluation and an access review?

An access review is the periodic check whether access is still right. Joinly's access evaluation calculates the difference between actual and intended access, so the review covers the deviations instead of every line.

Can logs be changed afterwards?

No. Joinly keeps logs in an immutable archive.

How often do you run an access review?

You decide. Joinly advises a fixed cadence and recording the corrections. That is the evidence the NIS2 duty of care asks for.
