Access-request review research for offshore operations
A least-privilege review model for requesting, approving, reviewing, and removing access for a support role.
Method: record requester, role, system, access level, business reason, approver, start date, expiry or review date, evidence, and removal status.
Headline finding: ten access fields make temporary access and stale permissions visible to the owner.
Prefer named accounts, multi-factor authentication, and the smallest useful permission. Separate access administration from the business decision to grant access where practical.
Review the register against current role scope and offboarding records. Escalate exports, admin rights, security settings, and sensitive data access.
FAQ: Is an annual access review sufficient? Frequency should match risk and change rate; a calendar interval alone does not prove review occurred.
