Compliance Best Practices

With the recent addition of Policy Xpress in CA IdentityMinder, and now with the integration, you can set business compliance policies in different ways. When considering best practices, use the feature that allows for the greatest capabilities. We recommend the following:

• If you do not use Smart Provisioning in your CA IdentityMinder Environment, you can set compliance policies for User Tasks as follows:
  • New deployments: Use Policy Xpress
  • Existing deployments:  Use Preventative Identity Policies
• If you are using Smart Provisioning in your CA IdentityMinder Environment, you can set compliance policies for User Tasks as follows:
  • Resource-level Segregation of Duties (SOD): Use CA GovernanceMinder Business Policy Rules (BPRs)
  • User attributes: Use Policy Xpress for new deployments, or Preventative Identity Policies for existing deployments.
  • Role Memberships: Use BPRs, Policy Xpress, or Preventative Identity Policies depending on preference.
