This checklist is designed to ensure that all user access rights and permissions are reviewed and validated regularly to maintain security and compliance within the organization.
Compile a list of all users with access to the system, including employees, contractors, and third-party vendors.
For each user, check the access levels they currently have against their job roles and responsibilities.
Confirm that each user's access is necessary for their job functions. Remove any unnecessary permissions.
Identify any accounts that have not been accessed for a certain period and consider deactivating or deleting them.
Keep a record of any access changes made during the review process for future reference and compliance.
Inform users about any changes to their access rights and provide a brief explanation for the adjustments.
Set a date for the next user access review to ensure regular monitoring and compliance.
