⏳ “Temporary” access should never become permanent by accident.
Vendor logins, emergency exceptions, bypassed controls, and short-term approvals often start with a valid reason.
The risk begins when nobody comes back to close them.
Every temporary exception should have four things:
☑ A clear owner
☑ A recorded reason and risk
☑ A defined expiry date
☑ A review to remove it or formally extend it
Without that process, temporary access can quietly become part of your normal environment.
And that creates more exposure, more audit questions, and more cleanup later.
GSec helps teams track exceptions before they turn into long-term risk.
🔐 Review the exceptions still open in your business.
