IT manually creates accounts, taking 3-5 days for new hires. Terminated employees retain access for weeks. Audit found 2,300 orphaned accounts across 45 applications. **Approach**: 1. Integrate Workday as authoritative source with daily delta sync to IGA platform 2. Mine existing access patterns to define birthright roles for the top 20 job codes (covering 80% of employees) 3. Implement pre-hire provisioning triggered 7 days before start date for AD, email, and birthright apps 4. Build termination workflow that disables all access within 1 hour of HR status change 5. Create mover workflow that recalculates roles when job code or department changes 6. Deploy self-service access request portal with risk-based approval chains 7. Run orphaned account detection to identify and remediate the 2,300 existing orphans 8. Schedule quarterly access certifications to prevent access accumulation **Pitfalls**: - Not defining a single authoritative source leads to conflicting identity data from multiple HR systems - Mining roles without business validation creates technical roles that do not align with organizational structure - Automating termination without grace period for knowledge transfer frustrates business managers - Not handling contractor and vendor identities that exist outside the HR system ## Output Format ``` IDENTITY GOVERNANCE LIFECYCLE REPORT ======================================= Authoritative Source: Workday IGA Platform: SailPoint IdentityIQ Total Identities: 10,247 Active Employees: 9,834 Contractors: 413 LIFECYCLE AUTOMATION Joiner (Pre-Hire) SLA: Target: 0 days | Actual: 0.2 days avg Mover Processing SLA: Target: 1 day | Actual: 0.8 days avg Leaver Disablement SLA: Target: 1 hour | Actual: 0.5 hours avg PROVISIONING METRICS (Last 30 Days) New Hires Provisioned: 187 Auto-Provisioned: 174 (93.0%) Manual Intervention: 13 (7.0%) Role Changes Processed: 89 Terminations Processed: 43 Within 1-Hour SLA: 41 (95.3%) ROLE GOVERNANCE Defined Roles: 127 Birthright Roles: 48 Average Entitlements/Role: 12.3 Role Overlap > 70%: 8 pairs (consolidation recommended) ORPHANED ACCOUNTS Detected: 23 Critical: 2 (privileged accounts) High: 8 Medium: 13 Remediated (30 days): 19 Outstanding: 4 ACCESS REQUESTS Submitted: 342 Auto-Approved (Birthright):87 (25.4%) Approved: 231 (67.5%) Denied: 24 (7.0%) Average Approval Time: 6.2 hours SOD Violations Flagged: 12 ``` --- Source attribution: mukul975 Original project: https://github.com/mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills/blob/54a798831d2266a3ca61ce68a7acb80b81160d57/skills/building-identity-governance-lifecycle-process/SKILL.md License: Apache-2.0 License information: https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 Original upstream instructions; downloaded from Dave AI. ## Upstream license notice Apache License Version 2.0, January 2004 http://www.apache.org/licenses/ TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE, REPRODUCTION, AND DISTRIBUTION 1.
