Someone in the business needs to be able to answer three questions: which systems do we pay for, who can log into them, and where does our data sit. In most companies the honest answer is "partly." We make it "yes, it's written down."
the inventory
Every system, what it costs, who administers it, what data it holds, and what depends on it. Written as a document your team owns — not trapped in one person's memory, and not discovered from credit-card statements during an audit.
That includes social media accounts — pages and ad accounts are systems too, and the ones most often living in someone's personal profile.
access that shouldn't exist
Accounts of people who left, permissions that outlived their reason, shared logins nobody remembers creating. We find them and close them.
cheaper as routine than as emergency.
how accounts get handled from now on
The inventory is only useful if it stays true. We set up the process for granting, reviewing, and revoking access — so day one and last day both follow a checklist instead of a scramble.
why this is whole-project work
Access and data cut across every department by definition — finance's ERP roles, support's helpdesk seats, marketing's ad accounts. It's scoped the way we scope everything: all of it on one map, none of it assumed to be someone else's problem.
questions
What does the audit actually produce?
A written inventory: every system you pay for, what it costs, who administers it, who can log in, what data it holds, and what depends on it. A document your team owns.
Someone just left. What now?
Close their access everywhere — accounts, shared logins, connected tools. If there's no inventory to work from, that's the first job; this is cheaper as routine than as emergency.
Do social media accounts belong in the inventory?
Yes — pages and ad accounts are systems too, and the ones most often living in someone's personal profile.
