Integrated access management
Be it on-prem or hybrid set-up; organizations continuously face multiple data security challenges from multiple end-users.
The context behind adopting ARCON | Data Access Governance (DAG) has evolved with rapid cloud adoption, multi-cloud sprawl, and the explosion of SaaS applications and machine identities. As sensitive data moves across AWS, Azure, hybrid workloads, and DevOps pipelines, controlling who can access what has become mission critical. ARCON DAG enforces least-privilege access across cloud and on-prem environments, continuously monitors entitlements, automates certification reviews, and proactively detects excessive or anomalous access—reducing breach risk while strengthening regulatory compliance and cloud security posture.
It enables least privilege access, automates reviews, and flags anomalies across users, roles, and systems.

KEY FEATURES
The key features of Data Access Governance (DAG) mechanism are:
01
Data Visibility Across Shared Folders
The importance of data visibility comes with the ability to access, monitor, and track data throughout its entire lifecycle. It is the most important feature of the Data Access Governance (DAG) module as it ensures that enterprise data is available, understandable, and usa ble by only those who need it. As a result, data visibility is indispensa ble in shared folders, NFS (Network File Sharing) drives for Unix/ Linux environments, or SaaS storages.
02
Who, What, When of Data Access
DAG module helps to remove the ambiguity of who is accessing which data file, when, for what reason, and for how long. This is the foremost condition to prevent unauthorized/ suspicious access to enterprise data assets. Even while sharing or transferring data files from one user to another, it configures and customizes end-user access and sharing permissions. As part of ARCON's My Vault solution, DAG can customize end-user access and sharing permissions by restricting the random transfer of data files internally and externally
03
Ownership of Critical Files/F01ders/Data
The DAG module ensures a seamless administrative experience with ARCON's My Vault by transferring/ customizing ownership of data files. It allows one user to transfer file rights to another user when the former leaves the organization or joins another line of business/ department.
04
Shared Access to Unnecessary/lrrelevant files/folder
Accessing irrelevant and unnecessary files can pose several risks to an organization. If shared access is allowed to users who can access multiple files/ folders at any given point in time, then it poses risks of unauthorized access or data misuse. ARCON's DAG module helps organizations identify relevant folders/ files that are required for any shared access
Visibility Across Shared Folders
Ensures that enterprise data is available, understandable, and usable by only those who need it throughtout its lifecycle
Control Ownership of Critical Files/ Folders/ Data
Enables seamless admin control by allowing file ownership transfer or customization when a user exits or changes departments
Complete Governance of Data Access
Helps remove ambiguity of who is accessing which data file, when, for what reason, and for how long by configuring and customizing end-user access and sharing permissions
Prevention of Irrelevant Data File Sharing
Helps to identify irrelevant or unnecessary folders/ files that do not require any shared access to prevent potential risks

Benefits of ARCON | DAG Solution
Direct least privilege enforcement at data level | Built-in restrictions on internal/ external data sharing
Explicitly address Ambiguous Data Ownership | Data Governance + Access Control - combined tool
Identifies irrelevant shared access | Focus on reducing approval delays
Focus on reducing approval delays | Integrated with My Vault
Limitations of Other DAG Solution
Mostly advisory | Normally detection-heavy
Typically, weak area | Usually separate tools
Moderate scope of identification | Limited approval scope
