First move
Automate the pull from your Identity provider / directory. Scheduled export of users, roles and MFA state from the directory; access-review completion pulled from the IdP, not a spreadsheet.
Common gaps auditors find
- no scheduled credential review
- dormant users not disabled
- keys never rotated
