Access reviews are a cornerstone of identity security and compliance, yet they’re often viewed as a time-consuming, manual chore. The Access Review Playbook redefines this perception, showing how organizations can turn access reviews into a strategic advantage. By integrating automation and adopting a proactive, risk-based mindset, security leaders can streamline the review process, strengthen least-privilege enforcement, and maintain continuous audit readiness.
This guide outlines the key principles of effective access governance, from defining precise scopes and maintaining audit trails to leveraging modern Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) solutions for intelligent campaign management and closed-loop remediation. The result: reduced audit stress, improved operational efficiency, and a stronger, more resilient security posture.
