Key stats

NIST recommends reviewing privileges as responsibilities change
PSA 2024 labor-force participation was 64.4%

Headline finding

Offboarding is complete only when access is revoked, active work is reassigned, devices and tokens are accounted for, and the record shows who checked each step. Removing one login is not the whole control.

Evidence and method

NIST access-control guidance supports periodic privilege review and least privilege. PSA labor context does not predict individual risk. We convert the principle into a system-by-system checklist and evidence requirement.

Offboarding sequence

Confirm trigger and time, disable identity provider access, revoke application sessions and MFA factors, collect company assets, transfer queues, preserve required records, and obtain independent confirmation.

Key takeaways

Use named accounts so revocation is attributable. Treat urgent termination as an expedited control with a later completeness review, not as permission to skip evidence.

FAQs

Can a manager rely on the provider to revoke everything? The owners should agree responsibilities and verify the result. Should all records be deleted? Follow the approved retention rule.
