What it does

Drives periodic access recertification without a GRC tool. It gathers all active grants from the ledger, groups them by data owner, and DMs each owner an interactive Slack list of who currently has access to their objects. The owner keeps, extends, or revokes each grant inline. Revokes hit Snowflake immediately; the full review is stored as audit evidence.

When to use it

Use it for quarterly or monthly access reviews required by SOC 2, ISO 27001, or internal policy. Instead of a spreadsheet chased over email, owners get a one-click review in Slack, and you get a timestamped, attributable record that the review actually happened.

How it works

  1. 1A schedule starts the recertification cycle (e.g. quarterly).
  2. 2The flow reads all active grants from the Postgres ledger and groups them by data owner.
  3. 3It sends each owner an interactive Slack message listing their grants with keep/extend/revoke actions.
  4. 4It branches on each owner response.
  5. 5Revokes execute the matching `REVOKE` in Snowflake; extends update the expiry.
  6. 6It records every decision (owner, grant, action, time) back to the ledger as the recert audit trail.
