NTFS Permission Reporting
The Key to Securing File Server Access
In corporate environments, ensuring data security is not only about encrypting files but also about controlling who, when, and how files are accessed. This is where NTFS permissions come into play.
What is NTFS Permission?
NTFS (New Technology File System) is an advanced file system used in Windows operating systems. NTFS allows detailed access permissions for each file and folder. These permissions control whether users can read, write, delete, or list files and folders.
Why is NTFS Permission Reporting Necessary?
In enterprise environments, over time, file permission structures become complex. Particularly in Active Directory-based environments, users are added to groups, folder permissions change, and tracking these modifications becomes challenging.
Regularly reporting on NTFS permissions:
Eliminates permission complexity
Identifies users with excessive permissions
Reduces the risk of unauthorized access
Ensures compliance with regulations like KVKK, ISO 27001, PCI DSS
Simplifies internal auditing and IT security controls
