Episode 84: Access Recertification and Review

Access permissions tend to accumulate over time, creating a significant security risk if not reviewed regularly. This episode focuses on access recertification—the process of periodically validating that users still need the permissions they’ve been granted. We explain how to plan, automate, and document access reviews, and how to manage exceptions and approvals. You’ll also learn how access governance tools integrate with identity platforms to support audits and compliance. CISSPs play a vital role in ensuring that the principle of least privilege is continuously enforced across dynamic environments.
