What the assessment covers

Identity and access areas the assessment reviews

Most attacks today use a real account rather than breaking in. The assessment looks at how accounts are created, protected, reviewed and removed.

01

Joiners, movers and leavers

Whether access is granted on time, changed when people change roles, and removed the day they leave.

02

Multi-factor authentication

Whether MFA covers every user and every way in, including email, remote access and administrator sign-ins.

03

Privileged accounts

How many administrator accounts exist, who uses them, and whether they are separate from everyday accounts.

04

Service and shared accounts

Accounts used by applications or shared by staff, which often have old passwords and no clear owner.

05

Access reviews

Whether managers regularly confirm that their people still need the access they have.

06

Single sign-on and passwords

Whether applications use central sign-in, and how password strength and reuse are handled.

Plain-language glossary

Identity security terms explained

These terms appear in the assessment and in most identity security discussions.

TermWhat it means
IAM (identity and access management)The policies and tools that control who can sign in and what they can reach.
MFA (multi-factor authentication)Sign-in that needs something beyond a password, such as an app prompt or a security key.
PAM (privileged access management)Extra controls on administrator accounts, such as approval, time limits and session recording.
SSO (single sign-on)One central sign-in that gives access to many applications.
Conditional accessRules that allow, block or challenge a sign-in based on user, device, location or risk.
Least privilegeGiving each person only the access their job needs, and no more.

Questions

Identity and access management assessment: common questions

What is an identity and access management assessment?

A review of how user accounts are created, protected, reviewed and removed, and how administrator access is controlled.

Why is identity security so important?

Attackers commonly sign in with stolen or guessed credentials instead of breaking in, so weak account controls are one of the most common causes of compromise.

How often should access be reviewed?

Privileged access at least quarterly, and standard user access at least once a year or when people change roles.

Does this assessment work for Microsoft 365 and Active Directory?

Yes. The questions are platform-neutral and apply to Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Active Directory and most other identity systems.
