Editorial draft available to read. Factual and language review is pending. Examples are illustrative.

Decision and scope

Relate every supplier access grant to an active task and an internal owner. Record its level, scope, grant date and continuing purpose. Completing a delivery does not automatically justify keeping all the permissions that were useful during development, particularly when responsibilities have since moved to the business.

Illustrative example

Illustrative example: an agency still maintains website content but no longer administers billing or domains. The review identifies unnecessary permissions and prepares authorized changes. Before access is adjusted, the team checks whether required integrations depend on technical accounts so that a cleanup does not accidentally interrupt an operational connection.

Acceptance check

Review individual accounts, pending invitations and shared credentials. Preserve evidence of approval and the actual result. Accept the review when every remaining access grant has a current purpose and necessary dependencies have a clearly accountable owner.

Key takeaways

  • Accept the review when every remaining access grant has a current purpose and necessary dependencies have a clearly accountable owner.
