Remove access when people and vendors change

A dated access review shows who still needs each critical permission, what was removed, what remains shared, and who owns the next check.

1. 01

   List the systems, shared folders, devices, remote tools, payment platforms, social accounts, API keys, forwarding rules, and physical access that change with a person's role.

2. 02

   Create a standard start, change, and departure checklist with an accountable business owner and a same-day path for urgent removal.

3. 03

   Use individual accounts and role-based access where available. Rotate shared secrets when membership changes and remove sessions, devices, recovery methods, tokens, and integrations.

4. 04

   Review administrators and vendor access on a calendar. Confirm that the business can export needed records and continue operating when the relationship ends.

• Former workers and vendors no longer have active accounts, sessions, or recovery paths.
• Administrative access is smaller than ordinary day-to-day access.
• Shared credentials and keys are rotated after relevant changes.
• The business owns required records, domains, billing, and recovery channels.

• Critical account ownership

Use qualified employment, contract, legal, privacy, security, or forensic review when access removal is disputed, evidence must be preserved, misconduct is suspected, or regulated records are involved.
