Your Privilege Hygiene Checklist

Close the access gaps attackers are counting on

Most privilege risk doesn't come from a single bad decision. It builds up quietly: local admin rights nobody revoked, admin accounts still logging into email, SaaS tools that came with more access than anyone intended to grant.

This checklist gives you a clear, practical path to tighten that up. Start with one system or one group of accounts, find the biggest gaps, and build the habits that keep access from sprawling again.

Inside, you'll find steps to:

  • Find and remove unnecessary local admin rights

  • Build privilege review into onboarding and offboarding

  • Catch accidental SaaS admins before they become a problem

  • Set a recurring cadence to re-evaluate access and catch drift

Get your ready-to-use checklist and give your team a clear framework for tightening privilege access, one system at a time.
