Shared Folder Security Group Audit Automation
Automated access compliance tracking
The Problem
Security compliance required regular audits of folder access permissions. Manual audits were time-consuming and prone to oversight, creating potential compliance gaps.
What I Built
Built a Python solution using PowerShell for AD queries, pandas for data analysis, and automated reporting with change tracking for security review.
My Role
Developed the complete audit automation including data extraction, processing, anomaly detection, and report generation.
