Account Sharing Detection · Governance Integrity

Protect user accountability in compliance workflows.

Audit-ready governance depends on reliable user attribution. When accounts are shared, approvals, reviews, and evidence actions become harder to defend.

EAB uses IP and geo-based access signals to help regulated organisations identify suspicious access patterns and preserve the integrity of the audit trail. The purpose is governance integrity — not surveillance.

Why shared accounts weaken accountability

User attribution must be credible.

When accounts are shared, governance actions — approvals, rejections, evidence uploads, screening runs — cannot be reliably attributed. The audit trail becomes weaker. For regulated organisations, attribution is part of the evidence record.

Concurrent sessions

IP-Based Concurrent Session Detection

When a user account is active simultaneously from different IP addresses, a concurrent session signal is generated. The signal is logged and visible to governance admins — not acted on automatically.

Geo-anomaly

Impossible Travel Detection

Login events from geographically distant locations within an implausible time window generate a geo-anomaly signal. The signal flags the access event for review — without automatically restricting access.

Governance review

Signals Support Review, Not Automation

Account-sharing detection is a governance control based on access behaviour signals — not automatic restriction or accusation. Signals support responsible review by governance admins. They do not replace human judgment.

Audit trail

Access Events in the Audit Trail

All access events — including flagged sessions — are logged in the audit trail with timestamp, IP address, and geo-location. The access record is part of the governance evidence, not a separate security log.

Attribution

Every Governance Action Attributed

Supervisor approvals, evidence uploads, screening runs, and administrative actions are attributed to specific user accounts. Access integrity controls protect the reliability of these attributions in the governance record.

Comparison

Stronger Than Simple Login Controls

Password requirements and MFA prevent unauthorised access. Account-sharing detection addresses a different problem: authorised credentials being used by multiple people. Both controls are necessary for governance integrity.

From access behaviour to accountability signal

Access integrity maintained over time.

Account-sharing detection is not a one-time check. It is an ongoing access integrity signal that supports governance review across the full compliance lifecycle.

Platform

Access events logged with IP and geo context

Every login and session event is logged with IP address and geo-location context. The access log is part of the governance record — not a separate security system that must be manually correlated.

2
Platform

Anomaly signals generated from access patterns

Concurrent session and geo-anomaly signals are generated automatically from access patterns. Signals are flagged in the governance admin view — visible to mandanten_admins responsible for access integrity.

3
Mandanten Admin

Signals reviewed and assessed by governance admin

The governance admin reviews flagged access signals — assessing whether the pattern indicates account sharing or a legitimate access scenario. The review decision and outcome are logged in the audit trail.

Governance

Access integrity record supports governance attribution

At audit time, governance actions attributed to specific users are supported by the access integrity record. The organisation can show that access controls were in place and that anomalies were reviewed — not ignored.

Account Sharing Detection

Protect the accountability behind every governance action.

Governance integrity depends on reliable user attribution. EAB's access signals support governance review — so the audit trail reflects who actually took each action.
