IGA
Access Reviews & Recertification
This control asks one thing: How does the organization review, validate, and revoke user access over time to ensure it remains appropriate?
Low Maturity
What Failure Looks Like
The documented failure mode at level 0 (Absent) on the 0 to 4 maturity scale:
Rubber-stamping. Reviews confirm existing access rather than challenge it, allowing access creep to persist indefinitely.
High Maturity
What Good Looks Like
The business value the methodology documents at level 4 (Optimized):
Transforms recertification from a compliance exercise into continuous risk reduction.
Next Step
A Typical Next Move
For programs sitting around level 0 (Absent), the methodology recommends this as the next rational step:
Standardize access review cadence and ownership for critical systems.
What reaching level 2 (Developing) unlocks
Operational efficiency gains.
Evidence
Evidence Assessors Ask For
A sample of the artifacts an assessor expects to see around level 2 (Developing):
- Automated campaign scheduling
- Direct integration with target systems
- Evidence of timely access removal
Compliance
Compliance Frameworks That Cite This Control
The bank's regulatory mapping for IGA-03 resolves to 7 frameworks with a researched compliance threshold. Weakness here shows up in audits, not only in incidents.
Where Does Your Program Land on IGA-03?
This page is the teaser layer. The full rubric behind IGA-03 defines 5 scored maturity levels, 0 to 4, each with its own operating model, evidence expectations, and regulatory citations. That rubric is the scoring instrument, so it ships inside the assessment rather than on a marketing page. Running the assessment takes about 20 minutes and no signup is required to start.
