The Granular Delegated Admin Privileges (GDAP)
Understanding the Key Benefits of the GDAP
Granular Delegated Admin Privileges (GDAP) is a security feature that allows partners like TMC to have more controlled and limited access to your Microsoft environment. This access is based on the principle of least privilege, meaning we only get the permissions necessary to perform specific tasks, and nothing more.
Key Benefits of GDAP
- Enhanced Security
GDAP follows the Zero Trust cybersecurity model, which minimizes the risk of unauthorized access by granting only the necessary permissions. This approach helps protect your sensitive data and systems.
- Granular Control
With GDAP, we can configure access to be very specific and time bound. This means you have full control over what we can access and for how long. You can rest assured that our access is limited to what is absolutely necessary.
- Compliance
GDAP helps meet regulatory requirements by ensuring that access is granted on a need-to-know basis. This is particularly important for industries with strict compliance standards.
- Transparency and Trust
You have the ability to see and manage the permissions granted to us. This transparency builds trust, as you can monitor and adjust our access as needed.
How Does GDAP Work?
Explicit Permission: You explicitly grant us the necessary permissions, which can be adjusted or revoked at any time.
Time Bound Access: Access can be set for a specific duration, ensuring it is not open-ended.
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Permissions are assigned based on roles, ensuring we only have access to the areas required for our tasks
Why Choose GDAP?
By choosing GDAP, you are opting for a more secure and controlled way of managing your Microsoft environment. It ensures that your data is protected while allowing us to provide the support and services you need.
