February 2026 Release Highlights
Greater visibility to reduce operational governance
Archer User Activity Monitoring (NEW)
Organizations frequently struggle to identify unused, dormant, or misaligned user accounts—issues that create risk exposure, complicate audits, and affect data integrity. This new App-Pack helps users quickly find inactive or locked Archer accounts tied to records, strengthening access governance and enabling faster cleanup.
Back office Archer administration automation at scale
Brikks Configuration Automation (NEW)
Archer teams often face administrative bottlenecks when building or modifying applications, fields, workflows, or permissions. Manual configuration is slow and prone to human error. Brikks enables natural language-driven automation—letting administrators create and adjust Archer components dramatically faster while reducing configuration risk.
Platform alignment & modernization
Clients upgrading to the newest Archer releases want assurance that their Exchange offerings remain optimized and supported. This quarter includes broad recertifications across App-Packs, Integrations, and Tools & Utilities—ensuring compatibility with Archer Platform Release 2025.12.
Archer BI Connector – Updated
As reporting complexity grows, analytics integrations must be secure and flexible. The Archer BI Connector now supports Personal Access Tokens (PATs), strengthening authentication while maintaining frictionless data extraction for BI platforms.
Archer Dashboard Conversion – Updated
Administrators increasingly rely on diverse report formats to meet business and audit needs, and manual recreation of these formats to the Archer New User Experience dashboards can be time-consuming. This update streamlines modernization by enabling conversion of more report types.
Keeping pace with regulatory & industry content
Compliance teams must continuously track changing regulatory demands. This quarter’s updates include:
- Shared Assessments SIG 2026 Questionnaire—updated to incorporate the latest SIG content.
- Updated Privacy Framework to version 1.1 draft and consolidated Archer NIST-Aligned Framework (CSF, Privacy, AI RMF) listings into a single listing on the Archer Exchange.
These updates help organizations ensure their risk and compliance documentation stay aligned to evolving best practices.
