IGA-04

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) & Access Modeling

This control asks one thing: How are access roles defined, governed, and maintained to support scalable provisioning and governance?

Low Maturity

What Failure Looks Like

The documented failure mode at level 0 (Absent) on the 0 to 4 maturity scale:

Access entropy. Every new hire increases complexity, and toxic access combinations proliferate unnoticed.

High Maturity

What Good Looks Like

The business value the methodology documents at level 4 (Optimized):

Minimizes access debt while supporting rapid organizational change.

Next Step

A Typical Next Move

For programs sitting around level 0 (Absent), the methodology recommends this as the next rational step:

Identify high-volume job functions and document baseline access patterns.

What reaching level 2 (Developing) unlocks

Reduced access requests.

Evidence

Evidence Assessors Ask For

A sample of the artifacts an assessor expects to see around level 2 (Developing):

  • Role mining outputs
  • Periodic role reviews
  • Defined owners for role definitions

Compliance

Compliance Frameworks That Cite This Control

The bank's regulatory mapping for IGA-04 resolves to 5 frameworks with a researched compliance threshold. Weakness here shows up in audits, not only in incidents.

Where Does Your Program Land on IGA-04?

This page is the teaser layer. The full rubric behind IGA-04 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.
