NIST SP 800-123 NISTSP123-3: Authentication, Access Control, and Account Management

Implement Section 5.1-5.2 authentication and access control including: strong authentication per NIST SP 800-63 (AAL2 minimum for sensitive systems + MFA where appropriate + risk-based authentication) + identity management + role-based access control (RBAC) per NIST SP 800-178 + attribute-based access control (ABAC) per NIST SP 800-162 + privileged access management (PAM) with session recording + just-in-time access + access reviews quarterly + account lifecycle management. Implement least privilege + separation of duties + need-to-know principles.
