🌍 Day 2 — Control #1: Access Management Trust Test

Theme: Who has access — and why?

Every breach has one silent enabler — unchecked access.
It’s not malware. It’s not misconfiguration.
It’s the moment we stop verifying trust.

🔹 Access Management isn’t about blocking people — it’s about empowering the right ones.
🔹 When every user, admin, and bot is reviewed regularly, trust becomes visible.

Today’s control test:

“Validate that every user in your system has a business-justified role and that dormant accounts are disabled.”

Run the test.
Record the finding.
Reduce uncertainty.

Because in Digital Trust, the smallest oversight is the biggest vulnerability.


🧠 Control Testing Checklist

✅ Verify MFA coverage for all privileged accounts
✅ Review access logs ≥ 90 days
