Who is actually allowed “everything” in your cloud?

 

We often notice it among SMEs:

🔸 SharePoint is a mess
🔸 Everyone has access everywhere
🔸 And no one knows if it is actually ‘according to the rules’

Still, as an organization you do have to comply with laws and regulations such as the NIS2, the AVG and also your own internal security requirements. But how do you arrange that properly, without IT suddenly consuming your entire day?

Access in the cloud: how is it regulated?

We did a little poll on LinkedIn asking¹, “How well is access regulated at your place?
The results were striking:

📊 67% say, “Access by function/need.”
📊 13%: “Basic roles, no overview.”
📊 10%: “Everyone sees (almost) everything.”
📊 10%: “No idea, honestly.”

That sounds like it is reasonably well organized at most companies. But we know from practical experience:
👉 Even if access is technically well organized, there is often a lack of overview
👉 Nobody keeps a structural eye on who has access to what
👉 In the event of staff changes or role changes, old access simply continues to exist

And therein lies the risk. Because access is only really good when it:

✅ Limited to what someone needs
✅ Monitored and reviewed
✅ Fits within governance and compliance

 

“Just fixing IT” is not enough

Getting access right requires more than a few buttons and settings. Therefore, we at ALTA-ICT work according to an approach that goes beyond “just arrange IT”:

✔️ Governance & policies that really work
✔️ Zero Trust: you decide who has access to what
✔️ 24/7 monitoring via our SOC team
✔️ Everything is set up with laws and regulations in mind

And for those who are serious:
Our Modern Workplace Platinum package is based on recognized standards:
🔐 ISO27001 (information security)
📋 ISO9001 (quality management)
🩺 NEN7510 (healthcare information security)
