Beyond Spreadsheets: How to Ensure Security and Access Control
Sharing spreadsheet links is an Information Security (InfoSec) nightmare. When you send a billing spreadsheet to the team, you either lock everything (and no one can work) or leave it open (and anyone can download the entire client base). Spreadsheets lack granular permission control.
Least Privilege
The golden rule of operational security is that an employee should only see what is strictly necessary to do their job.
Governance in Jestor
This is where Jestor replaces chaos with absolute control:
- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): In Jestor, you create exact profiles. The "Junior Sales" profile only sees clients they registered. The "Director" profile sees all.
- Field Permissions: Unlike a spreadsheet where you see the whole row, in Jestor you can hide a single field. HR sees the salary, but IT helping configure the system does not see that field.
- Immutable Logs: If data is deleted, Jestor records in the Audit Log exactly who deleted it and when, ending the "it wasn't me who deleted the cell" excuse.
