The Challenge
The organisation had grown quickly and user access had become difficult to manage. Staff had accumulated permissions over time and there was no consistent access review process.
- Users had access to systems no longer needed for their roles.
- Administrator accounts were not reviewed regularly.
- Joiner, mover and leaver processes were inconsistent.
- MFA coverage needed improvement.
- Access governance was largely informal.
