aikux authorization workshop
Ordered directory and rights structures on the file servers:
NTFS permissions in the field of tension of data security and compliance requirements.
Correctly assigned access rights are one of the most important prerequisites for data security! According to an IBM study on cyberattacks(*), “unauthorized access topped the list of security incidents in 2014, surpassing attacks by malicious code.” Efficiency also suffers, and companies incur further costs when employees spend an average of 30–60 minutes daily searching for files or working with incorrect data within confusing, incorrectly assigned access structures.
There are clear requirements, sensible best practice guidelines from Microsoft, and finally, suitable tools for the convenient assignment and maintenance of permissions . Nevertheless, we repeatedly encounter the same problems in our daily work: users with direct permissions, users with incorrect or excessive permissions, user accounts of employees who have long since left the company, missing list permissions, and often "Everyone" permissions on the system folder.
If you are not sure whether your permissions are really sufficient for your security needs, then you should take a look at our workshop on file server permissions.
Together with you, we work out a tailor-made approach in your environment that describes your requirements for clean access rights.
Workshop AgendaComponents of the workshop
- Analysis and discussion of the actual situation and individual requirements
- Fundamentals and best practices for assigning NTFS permissions

Documentation - all results in detail at a glance
Documentation (anonymised)Of course, every authorization workshop is different. But an impression of what you can expect as a result of such a workshop is given by the following, anonymous documentation of our workshop on the reorganization of directory and rights structures in a company with 4-digit employees.
Our advice: Give our expert, who conducted the workshop at your premises, the time to thoroughly document and address any issues, and benefit from this analysis with its clear action recommendations. Thanks to the clear structure of our workshop documentation, you can immediately see the specific level of action required for each aspect considered. The assessment in these areas is based on transparent criteria, which in turn are grounded in official recommendations and practical experience from our projects.
- Blog - our concept for integrating the tenfold authorization management software
- migRaven - our tool for the automated restructuring of NTFS authorizations
Do you already have your rough concept in hand as a result of our workshop? We would be pleased if you share your experience with the comment function. Positive feedback is just as welcome as criticism and suggestions for improvement.
Kind regards, your aikux Service GmbH team

Excellent workshop with many tips, tricks and tricks to implement a clear authorization structure.
We purchased the software in advance and were able to analyze the existing system and make preparations for the migration directly at the workshop. There were no questions left unanswered.
For us, there is no better software to eliminate legacy AD and directory structure, to create new users and directories with correct permissions and at the same time to get a proper documentation of work done.
Highly recommended!

It was a very informative workshop with lots of tips and a lot of know-how. In conversation, the existing environment was analyzed and various weaknesses identified. Based on the experiences of Mr. Gomell, already planned strategies were considered and new strategies developed.
This workshop is worthwhile for every admin working with file servers.
