Perspective / Identity and access
Access is a business decision. Treat it like one.
The most useful access review starts with who should be able to do what, and why.

Identity and access
Confidence in who can do what.
Review how access to important information and systems is granted, used, reviewed and removed.
Access decisions connect people, business responsibilities and technical permissions. We help you establish what appropriate access should look like and examine agreed evidence with the people responsible for managing it.
Questions we can examine
- Joiners, role changes, leavers and supplier access
- Privileged access, authentication and account recovery
- Access-review ownership and treatment of exceptions
What you can take away
- Documented access questions and evidence gaps
- Priorities for review with your IT provider
- Agreed actions, responsibilities and follow-up evidence
A clear scope from the start
Interviews, documents and customer-led demonstrations can support an agreed review. System access, technical testing and implementation require explicit scope and authorisation. Deliverables, fees and timing are agreed before work begins.
