Access Review — Singapore compliance & least privilege

Periodic access reviews, role certification and privileged access audits to reduce risk and meet regulatory controls in SGP.

Scope & objectives

We assess accounts, roles, privileged entitlements, third-party access and SSO/MFA enforcement. Typical outcomes:

  • Role and entitlement inventory
  • Expired, orphaned and excessive access identification
  • Certification workflows for managers and auditors
  • Actionable remediation plan with timelines

Methodology

  1. Discovery: accounts, roles, and access paths
  2. Correlation: map access to business roles
  3. Review: automated checks + manager certification
  4. Remediate: adjust roles, deprovision, apply MFA
Method process visual

We blend tooling, process design and human validation to avoid business disruption.

Typical findings

Orphaned accounts

Accounts with *** owner or last activity >180 days.

Excessive roles

Users with permissions beyond job needs.

Privileged spread

Privileged roles assigned directly instead of via approved groups.

We identify and prioritise orphaned accounts for deprovisioning and recommend automated lifecycle integrations with HR/IDP systems.

We map privilege drift and provide remediation scripts or role redesign to enforce least privilege.

Third-party accounts are reviewed for time-bound access and multi-factor enforcement; we recommend contractual controls and periodic re-certification.

Recommendations & roadmap

Deliverables we provide:

  • Access review schedule and owner assignments
  • Role & entitlement rationalisation plan
  • Automation playbook for deprovisioning and certification
  • Compliance pack for audits (logs, evidence, KPIs)
