Just-in-Time Access
Provision temporary privileged access only via approved, time-bound, auditable requests.
Overview
Many estates allow elevated credentials without documented approvals, fixed durations or session-level evidence. That gap increases the risk of unauthorised use, complicates incident response and leaves audits without clear accountability.
Just-in-Time Access ensures temporary privileged sessions start only from approved, time-bound requests with recorded approvals, an accountable assignee, enforced duration limits, revocation controls and retained session logs for review. The scope covers issuing, approving, enforcing and revoking temporary privileges and excludes procurement, contracts and permanent role assignments.
