Governance of Unstructured Data with SailPoint File Access Manager
Governance of Unstructured Data with SailPoint File Access Manager
Unstructured data is omnipresent in today's digital-first organizations. From file shares with financial reports to SharePoint stores of personal documents, and IP-rich files in cloud drives — most have terabytes of floating files without even an understanding of who's got ownership, who has access, and what's happening to them. But these same files contain most of your critical business information — and they're also the least well managed.
Unstructured data is growing fast and so are the risks that come with it. Without clear visibility and control, companies face the danger of data leaks, failed audits and messy operations. SailPoint File Access Manager provides a single platform to manage access, categorize sensitive information, track behaviour, and automate control — all in synch with your identity governance plan. It's time to hold file data to the same level of rigor as application access — because files these days contain the crown jewels.

The Problem
The Solution
The Problem: Unstructured Data Is Hard to Manage
The truth is, older identity tools were made to manage access to apps with structured data. They weren’t built to deal with all the files spread out across windows file shares, SharePoint, or OneDrive.
This creates an enormous blind spot:
•Unmonitored sensitive data
•Files being accessed by former employees or unnecessary departments •Overprovisioned permissions flying under the radar
•Zero insight into what users are really doing
And it’s not just about security, it also a big problem for compliance. Regulations like HIPPA, GDPR, PCI-DSS and SOX expect companies to know who can access sensitive data and make sure it’s handled the right way.
But if you don’t have a clear view of who has access to which, it’s impossible to follow those rules or limit access properly.

Key Capabilities of SailPoint File Access Manager

Key Capabilities of SailPoint File Access Manager
Deep Activity Monitoring
FAM monitors user activity across platforms, who looked at what, when, and from where. It records detailed audit trails on:
•File reads, writes, and deletes
•Changes in permissions
•Actions by the data owner
Every action includes details about who did it, using info from things like Active Directory, HR Tools, or access systems. That way, you always know the full picture.
Eg: John Williams, who works in HR department, downloaded 115 files from the HR folder at 10.45 PM on March 5
Real-Time & Behavioural Alerts
FAM can send alerts in two manners:
Real Time Alerts: These happen right away when something suspicious is detected. Like someone deleting or updating important files without permission.
Threshold Alerts: These are triggered when activity goes over a set limit like more than 1000 file reads in an hour
Permissions Discovery & Review
FAM scans file systems at a regular interval to:
•Find out who has access to what
•Find stale or orphaned access
•Find broken inheritance and access oddities
This knowledge is extremely important at the time of audit and risk review. It enables Access Certification Campaigns, allowing data owners to periodically certify or revoke file access according to real-world usage, not speculation.
Data Owner Discovery
There are no such clearly assigned owners for most file shares. FAM employs a blend of:
•Access patterns
•File activity
•Group membership
Automatically to recommend probable data owners for a folder or share. Owners can then assume responsibility for future governance.
Sensitive Data Classification
FAM is capable of detecting and marking files that hold:
•Personal Identifiable Information (PII)
•Cardholder Data
•Healthcare Information (PHI)
•Sensitive IP
With custom or built-in classification rules, you get to prioritize security and compliance actions where it counts.
Access Request & Fulfilment
FAM's web interface allows users to request access to folders. FAM automatically satisfies the access by updating file system permissions once it's approved, cutting down on the need for IT manual tickets.
Insightful Dashboards and Reports
FAM's easy-to-use dashboards point out:
•Overexposed assets
•Outdatedly permitted users
•Owners of pending action
•High-risk pattern activity
These dashboards may be filtered by department, role, or type of data — and exported for audit or executive reporting.
