When someone joins an organization and needs access to tools and information on the network, there are many champions for provisioning them ASAP.
The person, their boss, admin, enlightened IT departments. All are eager to get this person productive and if someone is the bottleneck, they are hounded till they are not.
In fact, if the business process in place does not work fast enough, work-arounds are created. It is common that ‘faux’ records are created so that someone can be provisioned with an email or network login before the official HR record is created.
But, if the faux record stays in the system, who hounds IT till it is out?
How many organizations have you left where your email or access has remained operational for a while or perhaps forever? This is almost the norm rather than the exception. Does anyone hound them to remove this access? Of course not.
No wonder most organizations have thousands of lost or forgotten credentials in their systems.
