Security and compliance
How do I control who can access which business systems?
Give access based on job responsibility, not convenience. Use named accounts, role-based permissions where available, multi-factor authentication, and a process for approving, changing, and removing access. Review higher-risk access regularly and remove old accounts quickly.
What to check
- Does every user have a named account?
- Who approves access to important systems?
- How quickly is access changed when a role changes or someone leaves?
