Your Identity Hardening Checklist
Close the gaps attackers are counting on
Stolen credentials open a direct path into your business. MFA covers the basics, but attackers adapt fast, and your defenses need to keep pace. That’s why good identity hardening is so important.
This checklist gives you a clear, practical path forward. It splits identity hardening into two parts: fixes you can make this week, and long-term habits that keep your environment secure as it changes.
Inside, you'll find steps to:
Block sign-ins from regions where you have no business presence
Close MFA gaps for every account, including executives and admins
Set owners and expiration dates on access exceptions
Build a cadence for reviewing configuration drift, privileged access, and new devices
Track exceptions and evidence of progress over time
Roll out changes in phases to avoid disrupting daily work
Get your ready-to-use checklist and give your team a clear framework for building identity hardening into your regular security rhythm, action by action.
