Pathlock

Pathlock is a security and compliance solution implemented by ITS to protect University systems, sensitive data, and critical business processes. Pathlock helps prevent unauthorized or inappropriate system access by enforcing role-based controls, monitoring user activity, and identifying risks such as segregation of duties (SoD) conflicts. By continuously evaluating access and behavior, Pathlock strengthens security while supporting institutional compliance requirements.

Key Features

• Access Governance: Ensures users have appropriate access based on their role, reducing the risk of excessive or unauthorized permissions.
• Risk & Compliance Monitoring: Identifies segregation of duties (SoD) conflicts and policy violations in University systems.
• Continuous Monitoring: Tracks user activity to detect unusual or risky behavior that could impact University operations or data.
• Audit & Reporting Tools: Provides clear reports to support internal reviews, audits, and regulatory compliance efforts.

Benefits

• Reduces Security Risk: Minimizes the chance of fraud, misuse, or unauthorized system activity.
• Protects University Systems: Safeguards critical applications and sensitive institutional data.
• Improves Oversight: Increases visibility into user access and actions across supported platforms.
• Supports Compliance: Helps the University meet regulatory, audit, and governance requirements.

Pathlock is used by Loyola University Chicago ITS and designated functional and administrative departments to manage access controls and compliance monitoring for supported enterprise systems. Availability and access are determined based on job responsibilities and business need.
