First move
Mostly documents and reviews. Pull the 1 system-held artefact from your Identity provider / directory on a schedule; put the documents under version control with an owner and review date, and log each review as a dated record with a named reviewer.
Common gaps auditors find
- Non-person entity identities such as workloads and service accounts managed outside the provider entirely
- Relying parties accepting tokens from any issuer in the trust store rather than a named provider
- Attribute release configured once and never reconciled with the access rights actually enforced
