First move
Start with the 1 of 4 artefacts that already live in a system (Identity provider / directory); keep the periodic reviews but log each one as a dated record with a named reviewer.
Common gaps auditors find
- Leaver access removed from the main directory while application accounts persist
- Movers accumulating access from every role they have held
- No reconciliation, so orphaned accounts are not found
