August-September Product Update

August & September Product Update

This last month at Ploy ๐Ÿ‘€

Hey there ๐Ÿ‘‹ ย 

It's been another busy month here at Ploy! We've built a ton of new features, both big and small, and also have some exciting company news to share too.

๐Ÿ‘ฅ Company Update

Some big news here at Ploy as we welcomed Seb & Andrei into the team and doubled in size!

  • Seb joins us as a Founder's Associate and is operating as our new swiss army knife!
  • Andrei joins us as Founding Senior Engineer and has already started to work his magic - some of which you can read about below!

๐Ÿ“ Access Reviews 2.0

This month we've completely revamped access reviews in Ploy, making them even more effortless and streamlined, whilst also improving alignment with industry standard compliance frameworks such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001.

With this revamp we've added a heap of new features, including:

  • the ability for reviewers to input users roles
  • the ability to add custom users who may not be present in the apps list
  • the ability to mark a user as removed
  • As well as a lot more visibility for the reviewer such as the user's department, job title, and any matching assigned provisioning groups which may aid them in ensuring the right users have the right level of access (as well as meaning they don't have to swap between lots of tools!).
  • and much more!

๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ Role Mappings

In addition to the new role feature in access reviews, you can now easily configure mappings between resources <> roles in any application, making it easy to configure automatic provisioning of employees into particular roles from within Ploy.

โ–ถ๏ธ Access Catalogs Reporting Dashboard

We've also added a reporting dashboard to the access catalog so that you can better monitor access requests!
