Regularly Review Account Permissions
Advice:
- Periodically check and audit the permissions of all accounts to assess access levels—especially in cloud services like Google Workspace or Microsoft 365.
- Revoke access for team members who no longer need it, such as those who have changed roles or left the organization.
- Implement the principle of least privilege by granting users only the permissions essential for their tasks. This minimizes exposure to sensitive information.
- Utilize role-based access control (RBAC) to assign permissions based on a user’s role within the organization, simplifying management while enhancing security.
