Identity & Access Security

Understand Who Has Access, What They Can Do, and Why.

Every user, administrator, service account, vendor, and remote connection represents a level of trust. TDY IT helps determine whether access is protected, still needed, and appropriate for the role.

We evaluate access using principles such as least privilege and separation of duties, helping the business create clearer ownership and stronger accountability.

What We Help You Understand

Who has access

Employees, administrators, service accounts, vendors, contractors, and remote users.

What they can do

Roles, permissions, privileged access, delegated authority, and administrative capabilities.

How access is protected

Authentication methods, MFA, conditional access, password controls, and session security.

Where privilege is concentrated

Accounts or roles with broad access, conflicting responsibilities, or limited oversight.

How access changes over time

Joiner, mover, and leaver processes, role changes, temporary access, and account removal.

Who owns and approves access

Business ownership, technical administration, approval authority, and review responsibility.

What should happen next

What access should be maintained, limited, reviewed, transferred, disabled, or removed.

What We Review

Identity Hygiene and Technical Debt

Access does not have to be poorly managed for risk to accumulate. Roles change, temporary permissions remain, vendors rotate, service accounts lose owners, and exceptions become routine.

Dormant and orphaned accounts
Excessive or inherited permissions
Shared administrative credentials
Service accounts without clear ownership
Vendor access that is no longer required
MFA and conditional-access gaps
Conflicting roles and responsibilities
Temporary access without expiration
Accounts excluded from normal security controls
Access-review processes that no longer match the environment

The goal is not to remove access people need. It is to ensure access remains appropriate, protected, owned, and reviewed.

What You Receive

The result is a clearer record of who has access, what that access allows, and how it should be managed going forward.

Access Exists for a Reason.

Before access is changed, we work to understand why it was granted, what depends on it, and who owns the decision.

This context helps protect business operations while unnecessary, excessive, or poorly protected access is addressed in a controlled way. Changes are coordinated, documented, and validated with the appropriate teams and system owners.

Common Questions

Are you trying to remove as much access as possible?

No. The goal is appropriate access. People, systems, and vendors should have what they need without unnecessary exposure.

Will the assessment interrupt user access?

Most discovery work is read-only. Any access changes are planned, coordinated, and validated before being implemented.

Do you review service accounts and shared accounts?

Yes. We review ownership, purpose, permissions, authentication, dependencies, and whether the account is still required.

Can you work with HR, IT, MSPs, and business managers?

Yes. Identity lifecycle and access ownership often cross several teams. TDY IT helps establish a shared understanding of responsibilities.

Do you support different identity platforms?

Yes. The assessment focuses on how identity and access are managed, whether the environment uses Active Directory, Entra ID, Okta, another platform, or a combination.

What do you need to begin?

A starting conversation, available identity documentation, and appropriate read-only access. Unknown or unowned accounts become part of discovery.

Start With What Prompted the Review.

It may be growth, staff or vendor changes, a security concern, a compliance requirement, a platform migration, or the need for a current access picture.

TDY IT will help build the complete picture from there.
