SECURITY REVIEW · Workflow idea

Give people a useful view of authorized account activity dates, assigned licenses, and possible access or cost exceptions, with room to verify and correct.

For an authorized purpose, prepare an exception list of accounts that may need an administrator’s review for access or license changes. Inactivity can reflect leave, service accounts, delayed records, or legitimate work patterns. Limit reports to authorized administrators, verify identities and current exceptions, protect employee details, and require an administrator to confirm each account owner and approve any license removal, suspension, or access change. Explain personal-data use and retention, obtain required consent, respect source and reuse rights, verify important details, and keep external or consequential actions under human approval.

Test false positives and failure cases

Document coverage limits and validate representative results before escalation.

Keep live changes human-approved

Do not test, disclose, delete, deploy, or change a live system without explicit authorization.
