Who has permanent
access to your estate?

Standing privilege is a risk that often goes unexamined. It means accounts with elevated access hold that access permanently, because the access was never revoked. A contractor from 18 months ago. An admin account created for a one-off migration. A service account with broad permissions and no known owner.

This audit asks six questions about how your estate manages identity and access. It measures whether privileged access is time-limited and audited, whether offboarding is reliable, whether access patterns are monitored, and whether your estate would pass a basic identity review.

Zero standing access, also called zero standing privilege, is an identity control that limits breach impact. If an attacker gets in, what they can reach is determined by what was already accessible. This audit gives you an honest read of where your estate stands. The Sovereignty Index® covers identity as one of its five scored pillars and produces a roadmap for moving to just-in-time elevation.
