CIS Control 6: Access Control Management

CIS Controls v8 CIS-6.2: Establish an Access Revoking Process

Set up and use a process, automated where practical, that removes a user's access to enterprise assets by disabling accounts at once when the user leaves, has rights withdrawn, or changes role. Disabling rather than deleting accounts can be needed to keep audit trails intact.

Other controls in CIS Control 6: Access Control Management

You are reading one control. How much of CIS Controls v8 have you already done?

CIS Controls v8 CIS-6.2 is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of CIS Controls v8 your existing evidence covers. Hold ISO 27001:2022 and 102 of 153 CIS Controls v8 controls already carry evidence.

Each report names every control your existing framework evidences, every one it does not, the reasoning behind each claim, and the claims that were argued against and rejected. 240 were rejected on the ISO 27001:2022 pair alone.
