SECURITY & SAFETY REVIEW · Workflow idea

Turn authorized account activity, assigned software seats, and possible cost or access exceptions into a clear starting point—not an unchecked decision.

For an authorized purpose, prepare a seat review list for service administrators and account owners. Inactivity can reflect leave, service accounts, accessibility needs, or delayed activity data. Restrict employee details, verify each account and current owner, give affected teams a chance to correct records, preserve business-critical access, and require the service owner to approve every license removal or account suspension. 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.

Keep in mind

Inactivity can reflect leave, service accounts, accessibility needs, or delayed activity data. Restrict employee details, verify each account and current owner, give affected teams a chance to correct records, preserve business-critical access, and require the service owner to approve every license removal or account suspension.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define authorized assets and safe checks

Limit work to approved systems, records, and non-disruptive methods.

Protect credentials and sensitive records

Use restricted access, careful redaction, and an appropriate retention period.

Test false positives and failure cases

Document coverage limits and validate representative results before escalation.

Keep live changes human-approved

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