To ensure security compliance and audit readiness, you can set up area access reviews to occur at scheduled intervals.

Before you begin

  • Make sure that the site has areas defined.
  • Make sure that the site is not already part of another review.

What you should know

  • Only a site owner can schedule area access reviews.
  • Site owners can define a review schedule for one or multiple areas under their site.
Best Practice: Schedule your site access reviews so that they are automatically triggered the day, week, or month before corporate audits or site safety checks to ensure your security compliance and audit readiness.

Procedure

  1. From the homepage, click Organization > Access reviews.
  2. Click Schedule access review.
  3. In the Select review type dialog, select Area access review.
    Select review type dialog in Genetec ClearID™ with area access review highlighted.
  4. In the Site access review schedule dialog, select the options that you require.
    1. Enter a Name for your area access review.
    2. Select the Trigger site reviews frequency that you require and configure the options.
      NOTE: The options that are displayed vary depending on the Trigger site reviews frequency that you select.
      Yearly
      Specifies a site access review that occurs yearly.
      Monthly
      Specifies a site access review that occurs monthly.
      Weekly
      Specifies a site access review that occurs weekly.
      Now
      Specifies a site access review that occurs immediately.

      For example, an access review could be started manually using the Now schedule. Typically manual access reviews are used to test reviews before an annual review or scheduled reviews to check that all participants are properly set, or to force a review after an incident.

    3. If you selected Yearly, select the day and month or months that you want the site access review scheduled.
    4. If you selected Monthly, select the day that you want the site access review scheduled.
    5. If you selected Weekly, select the day or days that you want the site access review scheduled.
    6. Select the time that you want the site access review scheduled.
      NOTE: The time shown in the Site access review schedules dialog options and all scheduled review times uses the time zone of the site.
    7. Search for or select the site that you want to include in your site access review.
    8. Search for or select the areas that you want to include in your site access review.
    9. (Optional) In the Notes field, you can add more details as needed.
      The Notes field is used to enter more detailed information about the site access review. This field is typically used when the site performs security reviews. For example, an ISO 27001 review or a SOC 1 or SOC 2 audit report.
