How to Close Offboarding Security Gaps
Former employee still has access to your systems? Here is how to prevent it.
The Problem
- Access not revoked when employee leaves
- Company laptop not returned for weeks
- Email still active — receives sensitive information
- No one knows all the systems the employee had access to
The Solution
- Create an automated offboarding checklist triggered by HR
- Revoke access within 1 hour of last working day
- Track asset return and data sanitisation
- Document all access in the access control register
The Result
Companies with automated offboarding reduce security incidents from departed employees by 95%.
