Annex A 6.5
Responsibilities after termination or change of employment
Security responsibilities that remain valid after employment ends or changes are defined and enforced.
What an assessor looks for
Internal movers are the weak point more often than leavers. Show that a change of role removes access no longer needed rather than only adding what is.
Where it usually fails
Staff who change roles accumulate permissions indefinitely because only the joiner and leaver paths are automated.
