Important note
This page is general onboarding and review information. It is not legal, tax, regulatory, cybersecurity, financial, or compliance advice, and it does not create certification claims or service commitments. Final obligations belong in signed agreements and approved project documents.
Principles
Least privilege by default
Access should be granted based on role, project need, approved scope, least privilege, named accounts, and time-bound needs. Shared accounts should be avoided where feasible.
Production
Production access needs explicit handling
Production access should be approved by the client where the environment is client-owned. Temporary access, emergency access, logging, and revocation expectations should be agreed before support or launch.
Offboarding
Access removal is part of project closure
Offboarding should include repository access removal, cloud access revocation, database access removal, secret rotation, third-party tool review, account handover, and support transition.
Preparation
Buyer checklist
Use named accounts and MFA where supported.
Grant access only for approved project scope.
Avoid sharing passwords through email or public forms.
Review privileged and production access.
Revoke access and rotate credentials during offboarding.
