Seven Reasons Access Reviews Fail Audits
Access reviews fail when ownership, scope, evidence, remediation, and exception handling are unclear.
Access reviews often fail audits for predictable reasons: unclear ownership, incomplete scope, poor evidence, weak remediation tracking, stale reviewer lists, vague approval criteria, and undocumented exceptions.
The review itself is only one part of the control. The surrounding governance matters just as much.
A better access review process defines who owns access, what reviewers are expected to evaluate, what evidence is retained, how exceptions are approved, and how removal or remediation is confirmed.
