AI agent for chief digital officers
Data Access Request Review Agent
Access to sensitive data limited to people with a current need
What it does
People request access to data for projects, and saying yes too easily exposes sensitive data while saying no slows the business. For each request, this agent checks the data classification, the requester's role and the stated purpose. If the purpose is vague or not allowed, it asks for more detail before going further. It then recommends one of three options: approve, approve with sensitive fields masked, or decline. Sensitive data is masked by default. The data owner approves every grant. Each quarter, the agent also reviews existing access and finds people who no longer seem to need it, such as those who changed teams. It checks those results with managers before suggesting removal, and the data owner approves removals. Edge case: when a contractor's contract has ended, the agent recommends immediate removal instead of waiting for the quarterly review.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
