Give every account an owner
Keep a list of important business services, who is responsible for each, and how access is approved. Store the list in a location appropriate for its sensitivity, not in a publicly shared document.
Use individual access
Where a service supports it, give people individual accounts instead of a shared login. This makes it easier to grant the access someone needs and remove it when their role changes.
Plan for recovery
Enable multi-factor authentication when available and follow the service’s instructions for storing recovery information. Make sure business continuity does not depend on a single personal phone or email account.
Make offboarding repeatable
When someone leaves or changes roles, review access, shared folders, devices, and recovery contacts. Keep a dated record of the review. This checklist is a starting point, not a security audit or compliance assessment.
