Partially Off-boarded Accounts
Partially off-boarded accounts occur when a user’s access is not fully removed across all SaaS applications after they leave an organization or change roles. This creates a potential security vulnerability, as the user may retain unauthorized access to sensitive data or systems. Comprehensive offboarding processes, supported by automated workflows and integration with identity management platforms, are essential to ensure complete deprovisioning of accounts. This approach reduces risks associated with lingering access and improves overall security hygiene.
