Define and document the process for remove unnecessary accounts, access permissions, and associated credentials when access is no longer required. Establish accountable owners, required inputs and outputs, approval or validation points, risk-based criteria, review frequency, exception handling, monitoring, and evidence requirements. Integrate the process with authoritative identity sources and relevant HR, application, infrastructure, security, and compliance workflows. Retain records sufficient to demonstrate operation.
