What is Just in Time Access?

Just-in-Time (JIT) access is a security feature that minimizes the potential attack surface in an IT system by providing access rights for users only when they need them. Instead of permanent, wide-ranging access, users are given temporary, time-restricted access to complete specific tasks. This approach can significantly enhance system security by limiting opportunities for unauthorized access or internal misuse.

Benefits of Just in Time Access to

Pivotal Tracker

1. **Enhanced Least Privilege Access:** Just in time access and privilege escalation maintain strict control over who has access to Pivotal Tracker, minimizing the opportunity for data breaches. With only necessary privileges granted as and when needed, it limits the potential for misuse or exposure of sensitive project-related data.

2. **Reduced Insider Threats and Human Errors:** The "Just in time" policies mitigate insider threats by removing unnecessary long-term access privileges. This reduces the risk of inadvertent data sharing or erroneous changes, significantly reducing the likelihood of human-induced errors that could jeopardize project tracking or data safety.

3. **Improved Operational Efficiency:** By utilizing just in time access and privilege escalation, businesses can streamline project management within Pivotal Tracker. This aids in avoiding the clutter of excessive permissions, ensuring quicker, smoother navigation and task execution, thus promoting better workflow and project timelines.

4. **Easier Auditing for Compliance:** The use of just in time access makes auditing simpler by clarifying who had access to specific parts of Pivotal Tracker and when. This transparency allows meticulous record-keeping and makes it easier to adhere to regulatory compliance, facilitating timely and accurate audit trails.

Use Cases for Just in Time Access to

Pivotal Tracker

1) Emergency Management: If there are urgent issues that require immediate attention in a project, just in time admin access allows a higher-level user to intervene, assess the situation, and make necessary changes.

2) Workload Balancing: Just in time admin access can be useful when a project leader is overloaded, allowing another team member to be granted temporary admin access to redistribute tasks and ensure the project remains on schedule.

3) Fill-In for Absence: If a project leader or an admin is absent unexpectedly, just in time admin access allows a different team member to step in temporarily to keep projects running smoothly without disruptive interruptions.

How to Implement Just in Time Access to

Pivotal Tracker

Entitle Just In Time Access - diagram- How to Implement Just in Time Access to

1. Planning.

  • Assessment
    Initiate by identifying which users need access to Pivotal Tracker, the resources they require, and why. Analyze existing access permissions and see if any can be shrunk or abolished. Employ an entitlement discovery tool for better insight.
  • Policy creation
    Establish explicit policies for permitting and withdrawing access. Include rules on who can request access, when and why, and for how long. Particularly in privileged roles, implement time-bounded parameters.
  • Source of truth
    Associate your JIT access system with an Identity Provider (for instance, Okta, Google Workspace, Azure AD, OneLogin). This plays an essential role as the authoritative source for identities. Opting for individual identities displacement over shared accounts improves authorization control and audit precision.

2. Execution.

  • Self-serve access requests
    Streamline the process by enabling users to ask for access through the system, rather than individuals. Increase acceptance rates by partnering with IM platforms such as Slack or MS Teams. Make sure requests consist of all necessary information such as who is asking, the necessary service/resource/role, duration, and reasoning.
  • Approval process
    JIT access provides organizations a chance to assign approvals to people with business context. Resource owners and business unit managers often possess a better understanding compared to IT helpdesks.
  • Conditional approval workflows
    Employ your predefined policies in workflows that decide on accessibility permissions. If-then conditions can be utilized for this purpose. If identity group “X” seeks access to “Y”, acquire approval from “Z” and inform “M”.
  • Integrations
    Contemplate integrating JIT access with other IT and security systems for added flexibility, like IT ticketing systems to allow automated access based on ticket status, data classification systems to modify policies subject to the sensitivity of data etc. Partnerships with on-call schedule software and training systems can also automate approvals.
  • Automated provisioning and deprovisioning
    Comprehend Pivotal Tracker extensively for the efficient granting and revocation of fine-grained access automatically within the service. This is primarily crucial for JIT Access as it lessens the dependency on available individual time, enabling automated deprovisioning of access.
  • Access methods
    For JIT Access on Pivotal Tracker, APIs are more desirable thanks to their adaptability and real-time features. However, a mix might be required such as using SAML for authentication, SCIM for user provisioning, and APIs for precise access control decisions.

3. Maintenance.

  • Regular audits
    Periodically inspect access logs to validate that JIT access is functioning as planned. Look for any abnormal patterns or behaviors either directly or through your SIEM.
  • User training
    Inform users, particularly ones with special privileges, about least privilege, JIT Access and its functioning, ensuring they know how to ask for access when needed.
  • Feedback loop
    Consistently review your JIT access procedures. Collect feedback from users and IT staff to comprehend areas of improvement.

By adopting this organized approach, a proficient and robust Just-in-Time Access system can be successfully implemented for Pivotal Tracker.
