A large organization has undergone a major reorganization, resulting in multiple new hires while several long-term employees are leaving. Which method reduces risks related to unauthorized access as roles change?
Postpone all user account updates until the annual credentials audit
Rely on informal social events to maintain awareness of who is departing and joining
Invite each department to handle user accounts using their own guidelines
Deactivate expired accounts and issue fresh privileges through an organized approval procedure
Revoking outdated credentials and validating privileges preserves security when employees exit or assume new roles. A robust procedure ensures each account is properly retired or provisioned. Other approaches lack consistent, structured oversight and can enable unauthorized data access or policy circumvention.
