NETWORK ACCESS REVIEW · Workflow idea

Know which public addresses belong on an access list.

Prepare a current list of the public internet addresses associated with an authorized service so an infrastructure owner can review firewall or partner access requirements. Confirm the addresses with the responsible network team, keep the list restricted, and approve the exact recipients and purpose before sharing it outside your organization.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

An authorized infrastructure request to identify addresses for a specific access or network review

“Prepare public address information for an infrastructure owner to verify, with restricted handling and approval before external sharing.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps infrastructure teams confirm which public network addresses may need to be recognized by a trusted service or partner.

  1. Confirm the service and reason for the request

    Identify the service, responsible owner, and specific access-planning need before gathering network details.

  2. Prepare the public address list

    Collect the addresses associated with the authorized service and keep the service context with each result.

  3. Verify addresses with the network owner

    Ask the infrastructure team to confirm that the addresses are current, complete, and appropriate for the intended access rule.

  4. Limit access to infrastructure details

    Keep the list available only to people who need it and avoid placing it in public documents or messages.

  5. Approve before sharing with a partner

    Require an authorized owner to approve the exact addresses, purpose, recipients, and sharing channel before any external disclosure.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A current, reviewable list of public addresses with service context and an approval status for any sharing.

The handoff

A current, reviewable list of public addresses with service context and an approval status for any sharing.

Keep in mind

Network addresses can reveal infrastructure details and may change or be shared across systems. Limit access to the list, verify it with the responsible network owner, and share only the exact approved addresses with authorized recipients through an appropriate channel. Do not publish infrastructure details publicly.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define approved services and purposes

Specify who may request address checks and which infrastructure or access-planning uses are appropriate.

Set verification and freshness expectations

Decide how the network owner confirms current addresses and when a previous list must be checked again.

Restrict and retain address information

Limit access to relevant infrastructure staff and set a retention period appropriate to the access request.

Assign external-sharing approvers

Name who approves the exact details, recipients, and channel before addresses are sent outside the organization.
