Approving access requests

Lesson 104 of 201 · 10 min

Receive an access request, review what is being requested and why, approve it, show the time-bounded nature of the approval, show the audit record, and show declining a request. THE APPROVER NEEDS ENOUGH CONTEXT TO MAKE A REAL DECISION. Rubber-stamping every request makes the control theatre. Train whoever holds the role — and note that the person who approves is usually not the person who configured this. The audit record is the evidence for the requirement that drove the control. Retain it.
