Secureframe Expands Comply with User Access Reviews for Automated Governance

In a significant development, Secureframe has unveiled User Access Reviews, a novel feature within its flagship product, Comply. This innovative solution seeks to automate the traditionally manual and error-prone process of validating user access rights within organizations.

The Problem Addressed by User Access Reviews

Recent research has highlighted the pressing need for improved access control and governance practices. A benchmark report published by Secureframe revealed that nearly one-quarter of security and compliance leaders cited audit preparation as their top challenge in 2026, with teams dedicating approximately eight hours per week to manual compliance tasks such as evidence collection and documentation.

User Access Reviews Features

Centralized Review Management: User Access Reviews enables teams to pull user data from integrated systems or via CSV upload, scope reviews by application, assign reviewers, and complete the entire process within a single platform.
Accountable Access Decisions: Reviewers confirm ownership and make explicit account-level decisions to maintain, modify, revoke, or mark access out of scope. Follow-up tasks can be created directly within the review workflow and synced with connected ticketing tools.
Automated Scheduling and Reminders: Configurable recurring review cycles, designated reviewers per system, and reliance on automated reminders and status indicators keep reviews on track without manual follow-up.
Audit-Ready Documentation: Every review captures reviewer identity, decisions made, and remediation actions taken. Exportable summaries provide structured documentation that can be shared during audits, eliminating the need to reconstruct evidence from emails or spreadsheets.

Benefits of User Access Reviews

By introducing User Access Reviews, Secureframe aims to empower organizations to establish more effective governance frameworks, surface misplaced or outdated permissions, and generate defensible audit evidence on demand. This initiative aligns with the company’s broader mission to support security and compliance professionals in maintaining a strong security posture and mitigating risks associated with access control.

“We recognized that access reviews are a critical component of robust security controls,” stated Shrav Mehta, Founder and CEO of Secureframe. “However, traditional methods often relied on error-prone spreadsheets and ad-hoc approaches, which created accountability gaps and left teams vulnerable to security incidents.”
