Secureframe Adds Automated User Access Reviews to Comply

A significant challenge in modern security and compliance is the manual, fragmented process of user access reviews. Teams often rely on spreadsheets and email chains, creating accountability gaps and audit difficulties. Secureframe has introduced a solution to this persistent problem with its new User Access Reviews feature within the Secureframe Comply platform. This capability automates the entire workflow, replacing error-prone manual methods with a structured system for assigning reviewers, evaluating permissions, and tracking remediation, all from a single dashboard with a complete audit trail.

The traditional approach is not only inefficient but also a major security risk. According to Secureframe’s 2026 Cybersecurity & Compliance Benchmark Report, nearly a quarter of security leaders cite audit preparation as their top challenge, with teams dedicating roughly eight hours weekly to manual compliance tasks. The new feature directly addresses this pain point by consolidating the three pillars of a mature access program: establishing governance frameworks, identifying misplaced permissions, and generating defensible audit evidence on demand.

“Access reviews are a critical security control, yet they’re frequently managed through spreadsheets and email,” noted Shrav Mehta, Founder and CEO of Secureframe. “User Access Reviews provides teams a simple way to evaluate access, document decisions, and ensure follow-through without creating a coordination headache.”

The platform’s key capabilities deliver this streamlined experience. Centralized review management allows teams to pull user data from integrated systems or via CSV upload, scope reviews by application, and complete the entire process in one place. It enables accountable access decisions, where reviewers confirm ownership and make explicit choices to maintain, modify, or revoke access, with follow-up tasks syncing to connected ticketing tools. Automated scheduling and reminders keep recurring review cycles on track, while audit-ready documentation captures every decision and action for exportable, structured reports.

This innovation arrives as security investments intensify. While 99% of organizations report benefits from privacy programs, resources are stretched thin. Furthermore, 80% of AI leaders identify cybersecurity as the greatest barrier to AI strategy, with data leaks from generative AI a top concern for 2026. Secureframe Comply positions User Access Reviews as part of a broader GRC automation platform designed to turn these pressures into an advantage.

The platform supports compliance with major frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR, allowing teams to manage access reviews within the same system used for controls and policies. It provides continuous monitoring for misconfigurations, offering real-time alerts and remediation guidance to uphold security between audits. Additionally, it automates vendor risk management, employee training, and evidence collection, including AI-assisted policy development through Comply AI for Policies.

The practical impact is clear from user feedback. “I saw how easy it was to use and how it created a central location for all our policies and documents,” said Jair Basso, VP of Security at Wealth.com. “Secureframe automates pulling evidence from our cloud, authentication, and HR systems. Before, our compliance team had to manually obtain evidence from each third-party system.” By eliminating manual coordination and evidence gathering, the tool allows security teams to redirect their focus toward higher-value initiatives, such as tightening access to sensitive systems.
